Worked as a computer tech in college
We had regular clients that would bring in their ten year old laptops to get "tuned up," which normally consisted of removing whatever interesting malware they'd manage to download
One guy would bring his computer and his lockscreen slideshow and desktop would be a rotation of naked women surfing. I never looked through people's stuff because ick, but after bringing it in multiple times you'd have seen hundreds of them
Another woman had an ancient laptop that'd probably shipped with Windows Vista that was 1 core 1 thread. It was desperately trying to run Windows 10 but was drowning constantly. You could watch the startup processes in task manager in series which was pretty cool
Had a woman deliberately hand me her phone open to her photos with like dozens of nudes while she just talked to me normally about whatever banal up issue she was having with her iPhone. Thinking about it I don't think this was an isolated event
Stuff on the devices is typically less weird than the people
Pain. So much pain.
That last one just seems like a kink
For sure, she was nice enough but being potentially solicited at work isn't my idea of a good time lol
A kink? She's hitting on me? It's an innocent mistake and I'm just autistic? I dunno, but that's definitely one of those interactions that I would keep going back to in my head.
I think hitting on him, she knew what she was doing, it would at least be worth a "hey, so uh, did you mean to show me these? Yes? Well nice pics, wanna go grab a drink while I fix your phone?"
I think kink. Some people just love to be seen or caught in compromising states of undress.
I also worked as a computer tech at a university. Often i had to backup someones drive to cds or dvd depending on the situation. If a folder was too large we would ask permission to go into it to break it into smaller chunks. I began to loathe having to subdivide large photo folders onto cds. Way too many times of opening a folder of smutty pictures.
