Porn Stash.

Uncomfortable moment.

I'm working on a friend computer, trying to tidy it up and just doing the simple things that people tend to forget. (Spy-ware check, better antivirus, shit like that.)

As we are running a complete virus scan, one pops up and shows the source file as one that he had downloaded from Limewire or some such shit. His wife then mentions that she recognizes that file and then proceeds to accuse her husband of downloading Porn. She said she had checked it out, wondering what it was, and it was Porn.

Busted.

I don't care if he's got Porn on his computer, it's almost natural for every guy to have some on there. (I'd only worry if it was terabytes of the stuff or some of that really freaky shit.) Wasn't Porn the whole reason the Internet was invented? Maybe for e-mail too, but I'm pretty sure the backbone of the Internet is Porn.

In the end, she wasn't too upset about the stuff being there. My main question was why she felt the need to point out that it was Porn, (It wasn't obvious from the file name.) and why she did it right in front of me. What am I going to do? Tell him not to look at it?

So to all the people out there- if you've got a stash: make sure it's clean, make sure it's stashed, and make sure that there's an "understanding" between you and anyone you may stumble across it. (I reverted to Guy Rules - Don't comment on it, don't look at it, and NEVER bring it up in conversation.)

As long as I never stumble across Gran-dad's stash - I think I'll be okay.

Later.

  1. 1. There's always porn on there. I think XP even INSTALLS an Adriana Lima swimsuit pic. I don't know how that got there otherwise, I swear.

    2. This is why techs never want to work onsite, and never want the owner around when doing this work. Tech sees porn, moves on: no excuse or comment necessary, no spousal outrage and it's so common it's forgotten in seconds.

    3. Always share porn. It's a rule, dude.

    3.1 I lost the Homer Theme. Do you have it?
