Well, with all the porn stories, I decided I needed to share this one.

I work for a major non-profit organization that is in the healthcare sector.  We have a pool of 15 "loaner" laptops that users can check out.  We don't always have time to boot them up and check them out every time they are returned - it's all we can do to make sure all the physical parts are there.

Well, one time the girl who used to be IT's Admin Assistant returned a loaner laptop and said she had been having trouble getting it to boot.

When we checked it out, we found that some critical files had been deleted.  Well, we hooked up the hard drive to another PC to see if we could repair it.

What we found was.... porn.  Lots of it.  We're obligated to contact HR when we see it - not the user, not the user's manager - HR.  Needless to say, that user was let go the next day.

So, given that we don't always have time to boot up each laptop when it's returned... how did we know it was hers, and not the person who had it before her?

Simple.  She was *in* all of it.

Dude. The odds of it being a person that I would have wanted copies of the porn are not good, if you're taking an average sample of humans out there. There's simply those people that just don't turn me on for whatever reason (nothing personal), and then there's SQUICK, THAT'S FUCKIN' NASTY!

The kind of person that would have left their nakie pics on a company laptop has good odds of being in the latter category.

And even if they were the hottest thing out there, them being the kind of person that would leave their own porn on a company laptop would be a serious turn-off.

+1.

At the last place I was at, it'd be the "GAHHH!!!! WHERE'S THE BRANE BLEACH AND THE RUSTY SPOON TO GOUGE MY EYES OUT!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" thing.

Man, that almost happened to my roommate. We were both working as security desk clerks for the summer, which meant long stretches of time with limited customer interaction. Most of the employees spent their time listening to streaming radio and playing flash games, and I would occasionally sweep through the machines looking for malware.

One morning, I had the morning shift after my roommate's graveyard. I happened to be digging through the documents directory for crap to delete when I found a particularly huge photo dir.

Full of naked photos.

Of my roommate.

That she'd taken at work.

Lucky it was me that found them and not one of the IT staff. I called to ask her wtf she was thinking, and she said it got really boring at work, so she took some pics to send her finance and his unit in Iraq. "Troop morale boosters," she called them.

His unit too! Very generous of her to share.

She knows that his buddies know if he gets hurt and sent to the rear they loose their periodic 'recreation' update... Works for me!

(would have worked for me had I been deployed like that, at least)

... Seriously. Cookies are a morale booster. Sending porny pics of yourself to your fiance and his ENTIRE unit is just slutty.

And as we've been talking about, not the sort of thing you want to get caught with there. They got problems with much more flesh exposed on a female than absolutely necessary.

A troop morale booster would be getting them the hell out of that hellhole, but that's just slightly OT :P.

By which they mean the eyes (http://www.afghan-web.com/shop/nproducts/images/burqa.jpg). Sort of.

Way OT... I still find it rather strange that there are Muslim countries that accept honor killings and that the desires of the flesh are so pervasive that women must go to these extremes. Indeed, in some places a sexual assualt is punishable by a good whipping to the attacker and death to the victim.

The eyes of their women are exposed and the rest of their bodies are covered. Their eyes of their men are covered and the rest of their bodies are exposed as though they were fools.

*needs a good LJ rant community for this sort of thing*

I don't know about you, but I think we can call it "Taking one for the team."

IIRC, it's a Shadow from the B5-verse.

Although I'm sure I'll be "corrected" if I'm wrong.

It is a Shadow *nods*
And if you think it's creepy... well that's cause they *are* creepy ;)

*chuckle* I had something like that happen at a previous job. The researcher borrowed a digital video camera to "record sign language research subjects".

When she returned the camera, she forgot the tape in it. While I would say she was busy with her hands, it wasn't sign language.....

that must have been one of the most interesting moments in IT history (although I am sure it's happened before).

If all these people, in all these posts, are producing porn on borrowed equipment, and not being smart enough to erase it, what the hell's going on on all the personal computers out there? And am I the perverted one for only using my computer for looking at porn and not producing it?

That is just classically stupid to such an extent that even if you don't sack her for the porn she needs sacking for the stupidity

This is probably why there is so little porn of IT techs out there. We all know far too well that if there is any kind of recording device, audio or video, in our vicinity then there is a 99% chance that the result will be heard or seen by everyone we don't want - co-workers, bosses, HR, parents, grandparents, exes, bank managers, the local TV station, amateur porn sites...
