found an emotionally-scarring picture in someone's email
So like, I was maybe 14 or 15 or so, and at the time I used hotmail and I had heard much about all those "hotmail exploits" that claimed to work.

Long story short, I eventually heard of one which involved sending a specific string to "[email protected]", which just like every other one, was a lie or a dysfunctional hoax. So of course, I tested it first with a fake account, and upon noticing the account did not actually exist, I thought it'd be sheer genius to make it, and so I did..... and what'd ya know.. tons of random not-very-tech-savvy-people's logins came about on their own, and for fun I started checking out some of them. I didn't have any evil plans in mind... just something to read when I got bored.

So I read some, and they were normal mail, nothing special, but then I came by to some Spanish guy's very angsty email argument with some other guy over god knows what. As I saw it develop over the course of a few emails, it eventually ended with one end going "Suck my dick!" with a picture attached...

.......yes, of his dick, laying there.. hairy, flaccid, in several megapixels of hi res detailed glory, right on top of the scanner the photo was taken with. It was then when I closed the window, logged off, and never checked out any of the accounts ever again.

Bare in mind at the time I had not yet been exposed to goatse and the other horrifying pictures in the internets. Oh well.
