Thank you, and yes it's definitely a habit they get in and rarely is much thought put into it. We're only human after all.

Well said. I do have some sympathy for this. For example if the noise of the glass breaking had just scared him and without thinking he said a four letter word starting with S, I might even give a warning and a talk about how to not create habits like that.

That's interesting. It would definitely require some bravery.
