    Ages ago, I had the owner of a business I supported tell me I could remote into his computer any time that day, it would be available to me. I remoted in about 5 minutes after that call and he was amidst some fullscreen hardcore pornography. I respect that sort of move.

    As a tech, I was at a law firm to fix something on one employee’s computer. His desktop background was a nude of the female co-worker who was sitting across from him. It was a shared office with several others working in the same room.

      Not that this is the only thing that matters here, but did she agree to let him use that as his background?

        Pretty sure she did.
        I later heard stories about how that law firm goes on vacation together once a year and they go pretty wild with booze and casual sex.

    Tonnes of CP.

    Told my colleague immediately as he was at the other end of the work bench, then told my manager. They called the cops who told us to leave it alone, then immediately made their way over to confiscate the PC and take a copy of the job booking slip.

    Never heard another thing about it after that. We thought we might be called as witnesses or to give statements, but nothing. The cops took a few mins with the PC when they got there, asked us to log into it and then leave the room. We figured they had enough on it and the guy probably admitted it. Never saw the customer again either, and he was a fair bit of a regular.

    Asked by a mother to recover family photos from her deceased son’s laptop. Fortunately I noticed and removed the porn folders before passing over the USB stick.

    The one thing I absolutely hate doing is getting inside my mom’s computer. She’s a heavy chain smoker and everything is covered in yellow tar.

    I don’t know if it is the kind of “worst” you were thinking about, but in a previous helpdesk job I found a text file on a users desktop with a bunch of links. Asked the user what that was for, and they used it tonremember web sites. They were star struck when I showed them that bookmarks were a thing, and added their links as bookmarks for them to get started.

          tho specifically mentioning its gay around something with a negative connotation could pretty easily be roped in to seeming like the gay also has the negative connotation (even if not explicitly said), so some people might not fuck with it

          (idrk personally, just thought I’d let you know my vibe)
