Don’t tell anyone, but when mechanics work on your car, they look through your stuff. Also, when computer techs work on your PC, they copy your neat porn and all of your music as well; and, they look at that folder that says “Super Secret Documents-Do Not Open”. You know why? Because we’re curious individuals. As a by-product of this curiosity you should not ever put anything on your PC that you are not prepared to have someone look at when they work on your computer.

I work on computers (haha I bet you didn’t know that!) and generally stay out of people’s personal files. That includes the folders on your desktop that say “DO NOT OPEN”. You know why? Because I don’t get paid to do that, so I don’t. Also, I do not want to make it my responsibility to become embroiled in a lawsuit.

“Lawsuit?” you ask. Yes little cherubs lawsuit. I’m against spying on my fellow man, even if it might stop some sleazy behavior. I don’t like the idea of a police state, but I am against horrendous actions. I just feel I shouldn’t take the place of a police investigator just because I have the ability to do so. What prompted me to talk about this was the following article concerning the Supreme Court declining to hear a man’s case involving child pornography and Circuit City.

    I sometimes have to do tech support, and I avoid peeking at peoples’ stuff because they’re already leery about letting us look at the legitimate areas when they want our help. I’m not even talking about home PC’s – I mean their work machines. I find it surprising how many people are dumb enough to load things like child porn on a shared laptop.

    Nice. Yah, I find all kinds of weirdness on people’s PC’s at work. It’s like, “You know that I look at these devices regularly, you didn’t put this here on purpose did you??? Really? I mean really?!”

    Stupidity knows no bounds though, that’s for sure.
