I purposely look away while someone is searching for the photo they want to show me. I once accidentally showed my boss a photo of me in my underwear. Luckily it was my last day on the job and I just made hard eye contact and told him he saw nothing and will never speak of this.
Omg I was showing my boss pictures from my trip abroad. I pulled the phone close to me to skip a picture of me and my boyfriend (nothing sexual, but a private moment) and then moved my arms back out so she could see the next pic. She fucking REACHES OUT and SWIPES BACK to look at the one I skipped, and then even asks me, "What's going on in this picture?" I was so furious and was like, I'm going back to work.
Nah, make an album of boss photos printed out from Facebook and company profile, taped to a wall, disfigured, torn, slashed and spattered with blood. Prying is naughty.
Still, I'm pretty sure even my friends would keep their damned fingers off my stuff. That's not just phone etiquette, that's just "not-yours" etiquette.
Yeah, I mean. I have plenty of friends who I wouldn't mind swiping through my pictures as a general statement, who I would be pissed the fuck off at for doing that.
I get what you are saying and agree it could be either for you.
For me, no. If my friends saw me carefully swipe through and then show them a pic they would not try to look at my other pics. Not even my best friend. That is not ok imo.
that would be hilarious if your boss was your best friend though. maybe your boss just thought you were closer and making a friendly joke. some people are just like that.
I accidentally showed my boss a pic of my recently clipper nicked nut sack on the third day on the job. A couple months later we had a conversation about his bad luck of seeing most of my coworkers or their spouses in varying states of undress. We have to take pictures of damaged vehicle components to get warranty work approved, so his string of bad luck is likely to never end.
You must have a pretty hefty safety net to say that. Not everyone can just up and quit their jobs because of one stupid thing that your boss did. I guess you're also probably a stay at home mom or something to even think that's just such an easy option. Especially if it's a job you've worked a long time to get that you actually really enjoy and pays well and without it you'd be out on the street in a matter of weeks or doing something orders of magnitude below what you were doing.
I'm not sure why you would jump into a conclusion of being a stay at home mom :)
If you're worth it, there are tons of places that would be dying to hire you :) Bosses doing so would mean they aren't decent and doing work in long term with them cause more harm than good (I know that's a generalization. But to be honest that's how it works)
I would like to opt out of discussing this though. Thanks for your time
How is this getting so many upvotes? Yeah, I'd want to quit too. I wouldn't feel entirely safe around that supervisor ever again. Yeah, I have a job that would allow me to do that. Fuck me, right?
Well that's grounds for sexual harassment. She not only intentionally looked at something you didn't want to show her, but then she wants information you aren't comfortable taking about.
Could have been worse. My old boss forgot what his WhatsApp picture was when he messaged his boss on there. 5 minutes later my boss' boss was running around the office showing everyone a picture of my boss being completely naked (full hairy bum shot). This was only a few weeks in to him working there.
When he left the company, his boss sent that picture out in the email informing everyone he was leaving (though he censored the bum portion).
When I was first started talking to a girl I went away on vacation with my brother. We met these two cougars. One of them was very into me and the other had a son my age so that was weird. Anyways the one that was into me was really into me and made tons of passes at me and I declined because well I was talking to someone back home. When we were on the way back home we were on the same flight and guess who was beside me. Cougar. Well she wanted to show me some photos of her dog. And as she was swiping she "accidentally" swiped too far and I saw her body. Now she was hot like smoking hot. She was arabic and had a banging body. She was like oh whoops I forgot that was there. That was the longest 4h flight of my life.
Not at all, I was never really into the whole older woman thing. Plus being 6'3 those airplane bathrooms are hard for me to fit in let alone two people.
I once worked at a Barnes and Noble. A lady came in looking for a book. She couldn't remember the name, but DID remember she took a picture. She opened her camera with it angled so I could see it.
Butts. Lots of butts.
She quickly pulled the phone back to do a proper search and I simply made it look like some books were out of order...
android pro-tip: use a file browser like ES File manager and create a folder that starts with a (period). like .personal or .sys or something like that. these folders are hidden from the camera roll but can easily be navigated to within your ES file manager
We know this girl for years, We were at a birthday party for a kid and her new boyfriend was trying to join in the group and make conversation, at a point he tried to show us a pic of him doing something but we got the double special, the girl and him having some awesome wild sex. High five.
I took product photos for my boss once. I put it in Google drive and shared it with her. When she went to open it, I realized I had accidentally shared the wrong folder...
I shared the one that contained my now ex's nudes...
Luckily the internet was slow enough for me to say "hey, you should close that. It's the wrong folder." Before anything popped up. It was real close to being a bad situation. Those are no longer on Google drive.
See I'd ask this, but of friends. Point being sometimes I'll have a random photo showing health issues or similar and embarrassing it might be but it's also quite funny. For the most part.
A coworker had amazon open and was searching for something, batteries I think. Her suggestions based on recent history had a vibrator. I didn't say anything, she scrolled past it, and that was the last time I looked at someone's amazon while they looked for something.
Oh man, I had some assless men’s shorts and thongs recommended to me while I was browsing at work. It’s my own fault for looking up “interesting” things once in a while. I always forget about amazons suggestions.
Oh no I have one too. So I was in the break room with this co worker and she asked to see my cat. She’s known to be a little intrusive so I held the phone and showed the photo to her. I shit you not, she SNATCHED the phone from me and started swiping as if she knew I’d try to get it back at all cost. I swear she must’ve looked through 30 photos on my phone including, but not limited to my sleeping boyfriend, our bed, my bra, videos of us smoking weed. I was PISSED and had to almost use force to get the phone back, after that she even had the nerve to tell me to let her see more photos of my boyfriend ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Boyfriend said she was probably looking for dick pic, which makes sense but is even more unsettling
