My computer gave away my secretsA good friend recently found out his girlfriend was pregnant when google autocomplete came up with 'symptoms of pregnancy'...
Has your googling been your undoing? Has someone found your gay porn stash? Have you had a Gary Glitter moment in PC World? Tell us how your computer has ratted on you.

stalking while living together.A guy I know (let's call him A) was dropped by his boyfriend (B) because B found out A had kissed another man..because B was going through A's emails and found one where he mentioned this fact and his guilt about it. Apparently this struck B as perfectly normal behaviour, as did the subsequent dumping, as presumably the concept of 'privacy' didn't. He was a quiet, soft-spoken guy as well, as per the 'stunned neighbours described him as a quiet, soft-spoken man who kept to himself' stereotype.
I wonder if anyone ever says "we kind of thought he'd do something horrible one day, as he was a boisterous extrovert".
In hindsight this story isn't so much 'betrayed by a computer' as 'betrayed by your gaydar, which is an early model and so doesn't come with a sane-dar'.
