What's the most disturbing thing you've found when working on someone else's computer?

0:05.0

MS Paint...

0:07.0

Ah, being used to design the company logo.

0:11.0

A buddy wanted me to convert a hard drive to an external.

0:14.0

Needed some copying and formatting.

0:16.0

He had tons of pictures of Arctic sea life.

0:19.0

It was like every walrus seal or aquatic life form on Google

0:22.5

image search was saved to his hard drive. I'm pretty sure he did it to mess with me. Was it originally

0:28.1

his C drive? It was probably made by Seagate. I work as an accountant now, but in a former life,

a report that a printer, a laser jet 5p, was constantly jamming. I arrived and started checking

1:11.9

were computer illiterate, they had no idea whether or not he was doing it again, and they wanted to

1:16.3

find out. I ended up rising her instructions and showing her how to search for herself, as searching

1:21.8

for pictures of her underage son's Wang was in ethically murky waters. It was a good thing I did too, because she ended

1:28.6

up finding some. I really wonder the legal grounds for that. I'm fairly certain it would not

1:33.7

be illegal. The actual illegal act of child prawn is when you're sharing it or consuming it. It's

1:40.1

not when you stumble upon it. So I think you would have been fine. Very strange story, though.
