WTF????

Edited on Thu May-12-05 04:44 PM by Bouncy Ball
So my husband does a little fixing of computers on the side, just as a favor for friends and coworkers. Same thing a lot of people do.

A guy he works with who is a hardcore right winger and who often writes bush letters about how he should try again to get the Constitutional amendment against gay marriage passed came up to husband and said something was wrong with his laptop, could he look at it?

This guy rails on and on about gay people not only shouldn't have rights, they should "go back in the closet." My husband never says anything, in the name of workplace harmony, but the boss does take note of it and even though he basically agrees, has asked the guy to cut it out.

So anyway, Mr. Bouncy is trying to figure out the problem and he does a virus scan and finds a few. He told me all the details, but computer speak sounds like this to me: "blahblahblahblahblahblahblah." Like the adults on "Peanuts." So I'll spare you that.

Long story short, the viruses were from all the gay porn sites the guy goes to. Tons of sites, apparently. When the guy came over to ask him if he had figured it out, Mr. Bouncy just tells him "yeah" and he says "so what is it?" and he recommends one of those virus protection programs then says "it was from one or two of those porn sites you've uh....been going to. They're usually pretty bad about that." He didn't say this where anyone else could hear it, people were at lunch. Well the guy laughed and said pretty loudly "I DO like some T&A!" And my husband said "Well these were gay porn sites, but whatever."

He said the guy just sort of tried to say something, but kept stopping, his eyes were all big, he grabbed the laptop from Mr. Bouncy (uh, thanks for FIXING it!) and stormed off.

Then later he came up to him and said he had NO idea who had STOLEN his laptop and was using it to look at such FILTH, but he had cleaned out all those DISGUSTING sites out of the history file (apparently before Mr. Bouncy told him about it, he didn't know what a history file was). My husband said he didn't really CARE what he looked at and the guy got all bent out of shape again.

He was so upset and railing on and on, my husband finally said "Fine, someone stole your computer to look at gay porn. Whatever."
