Oh indeed.

I spent an unhappy period as a telephone support engineer in the early
eighties.

The low point was when I directed an induhvidual to the appropriate page in
a printer manual and he told me he didn't have the f*****g time to read
f*****g manuals.

My response was that I didn't have the f*****g time to answer stupid f*****g
questions from idiots who can't read and/or are not prepared to listen.

I didn't actually use the word 'idiots' but a slightly shorter one sharing
two letters with it. But this is a polite list.

This uncharacteristically caused my boss to buy both lunch and the beer.

I'd rather gnaw my own arm off than do that kind of job (?) again.
