This was actually today. "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette came on the radio at work.
I work at a hair salon that while not ~~ultra luxury high end~~ is a very nice place and we have a clientele of all ages, lots of 65+. The standard genre we listen to is more yacht rock-leaning, but are allowed to reasonably play what we like if everyone's happy.
Anyway, there's a big FUCK in this song and I knew that this specific station we had on isn't censored, but it isn't usually really a problem. For some reason I got worried about it when I saw it coming, but no problem, I pulled out my phone, the music is controlled from an app. Just in time I'm able to stop it! "Are you thinking of me when youuuu-". Cut music. I wait a sec and press play again. <---------- fuck up here
So, maybe you realized when I said the music is controlled from an app, but we listen to music through a streaming service. I know you can stream live stations, but this wasn't one. So what I did was... plunge the place into silence, only for the music to restart... right where it left off. "FFFFUCK HER!! CAUSETHELOVETHATYOUGAVETHATWEMADEWASNTABLETO-" Absolutely just drawing wayyyy more attention to that big ol eff than just leaving it alone.
Nobody noticed or said anything anyway and this whole crisis was confined to my head lol.
TLDR tried to stop bad word on radio, made it worse
