Coworker/spouse/other annoyances with computers/phones.
« on: September 22, 2011, 12:13:08 PM »
#1) Was filling out some info the other day at work on my computer, including name and address info. Person with me was insistent that I tell Firefox to remember my personal info.  Hey guy, how about you expose your personal info to others in your own way and let me protect mine as I see fit.   :dubious:

#2)  Tip:  if you want me to visit a website, don't come into my office, tell me what to type in, then point me to the different hyperlinks to click on until we get to the page you want to show me.  Send me an e-mail with the link in it.   :dubious:

#3)  We may be dating, but that doesn't mean that when my phone is sitting on the table you should feel free to pick it up and start browsing through whatever you want: contacts, photos,  etc.   :dubious:

I feel like doing this after they've already made it a habit to browse would just cause more problems although you could just say one of your friends phone was stolen and they got some personal info off it because he didnt lock it.

Say you hooked it up to your works email or got an email from work or something, and you must comply with their security policies.

say you don't like people going through your crap and that if she has a rough ridin' question to just ask you.

Then, once she is gone, find someone who isn't so insecure.

It's set, but it doesn't go on for 5 or 10 minutes.

There's nothing incriminating to find. Just annoying.

you should be able to lock your phone at the press of a button.  not wait 5 minutes.  you're doing it wrong.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Goes for this specific part of the relationship too.

Then I have to unlock it when I reach for it again 30 seconds later.

Let's rephrase the point:  the annoyance is not because someone is able to get into my phone...the annoyance is because someone picks up my phone with the intent to browse through it.

Wow.  Exactly what I do.
