This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

On a related note
If you are in a relationship - the kind where monogamy and trust are involved - and you are having an affair with someone else that you want to keep secret, DON'T DO IT VIA EMAIL. OR TEXT MESSAGE. OR FACEBOOK.

Seriously, my friend just found out that his girlfriend is cheating on him BECAUSE SHE LEFT HER EMAIL OPEN ON HIS LAPTOP. I mean, for fuck's sake, she might as well have written a post-it note reading "I'm fucking someone else" in backwards writing and stuck it to his forehead so he could read it in the mirror.

If you are going to conduct an affair, don't document it in glorious detail through a relatively easily-compromised medium. In fact, don't write anything about it at all, you know, keep it a SECRET. It gets even more retarded when you work in an office with an IT department because they can see everything you do on your computer anyway - if you're going to conduct your private life through the work's servers, it's a fair bet that the people employed to look after those servers know about their contents.

When I was in IT support I knew exactly which of our clients (Hedge funds and private banks in Mayfair) were having affairs, which used 'escorts', which had a 'secret' fetish for big cock pictures and which had such extensive porn collections on their desktop machines that they were crashing the backups every week.

People can be pretty stupid sometimes.

Porn at work?
instant fail!

And like Scritty said, the best way to avoid being caught is not to do it in the first place

Well, obviously
one woman is too muchenough work for me to deal with as it is

but I can understand why people might play away from home, what I can't understand is why they'd write volumes about it where such a thing could be fairly easily discovered
