About 3 weeks ago I was studying for a test. My usual routine was to get to the coffee shop (today's choice was the Barnes and Noble coffee nook), plug in and turn on the computer, and go order my coffee (medium roast, no cream or sugar...perfect) and allow the computer to book while I was in line. While I was in line some jerk started playing some MTV streaming television at full bore. Much to my surprise, it was me. Needless to say, I was mortified. To everyone around, not only am I completely rude and inconsiderate, but I also have an affinity for tween reali-drama.

Apparently, my babysitter had the computer last and quickly closed the computer and stashed it in the usual location when either my wife or I came into the house (she also has a bad tendency for routinely fixing meals from my fridge and trying to cover it up).

Well, my tech never embarassed me, but I was at a friend's a couple of months back, and when he started Totem (media player for Linux), his pr0n resumed :)

i busted my ex-fiance for looking a explicit sites before going to work b/c he doesn't know how to close a browser window. *tsktsk*

I had a very tech illiterate roommate at the time. He was on my desktop, as usual. I was startled when he waited for me to get up to go to work the next day. He told me, with much hand wringing that he broke my computer.

We went and looked. He had accidentally right clicked, and saved a rather explicit porn image as my background. I told him it was easily fixed, and was more amused than anything else. I still tease him about it.

When i was studying my masters programme a few years back we had to give weekly presentations as part of our coursework and final grade. the norm was to turn up 15-20 minutes before your presentation and set your laptop up to the projector and start presenting when classmates and teacher arrived.
on one particular occasion i was running a little late and people, including my teacher, were in class waiting for me when i arrived to hook up my laptop. As the projector kicked in and my desktop appeared on the screen, there was a folder titled "Bitch Alison's Bastard Assignment" which was a folder of research for a future nightmare assignment given by the teacher sat waiting on me to start my presentation. She saw the folder and commented "interesting titles for your research folders on the desktop."
Needless to say i started my presentation very shakily that day as my classmates giggled into their notes.
note to self - give folders more friendly titles.

Awhile back i broke my cell phone, it had just met it's end and i wasn't eligible for an upgrade yet. So i decided to reactive one of my mom's old phones in the meantime. Well the one she had around was a hot pink clear one. Nothing about pink but i just looked like an idiot taking that out of my pocket.

A bit on the good news end though my brother in law was the one who made fun of me for the pink phone every time i saw it. Well recently he had spinal fusion surgery which pretty much meant he could not bend or lean over at all. Well he ended up dropping 2 different cell phones in the toilet, and could not bend over to pick them up, so they were destroyed. So, without a cell phone he had to use the next phone my mom had from a previous upgrade. A super hot pink one (at least mine looked sort of red). Can't say I am letting it go easily and make fun of him when he takes it out.

I was showing a friend my new Droid phone, and opened up the Pandora app. The station I was last listening to has Weird Al as one of the artists, and the song that came up upon loading the app was one of Weird Al's polkas!

My friend definitely looked at me funny.
