Ugh, I'm this guy and I hate myself for it.

I've found that I really have to detach from the situation to use less curse words, such as counting to 5 mentally before saying _anything_.

Any other tips for similarly terrible people such as myself?

I worked for a guy like that named Mike Homer. There were Wired articles about “is Homer a jerk or just passionate?”

It turns out he actually had Mad Cow disease (really).
