I got a lucrative contract at a small company a couple of years ago on account of someone's porn stash being rumbled.
Unbelievably, a large collection of borderline kiddie porn had been found on this guy's company laptop and the MD had to fire him, very reluctantly as he was the only person familiar with all the perl web apps on which the company relied.
I didn't see the porn, but I gather it involved 13 year old asian boys, or thereabouts, although I imagine it's hard to tell their exact age.
Initially it was a one-week contract, to document these web apps. But I was roped into rewriting them in .Net (which I'd never used until then), and ended up staying for the best part of a year.

At a place I worked at we had rather high definition printers which were only to be used for certain tasks but were situated in a public area. One bloke used to print his pictures off but forget to pick them up one day, twat.

A female friend worked at the IT dept of a very well known Co and told us once about a manager who'd been caught with a 'stash'. Fair enough we thought, probably happens a lot but she then blushed as she told us how word of this particular one had got around as his 'genre' of choice was ladies trumping . Yup, he had a stack of vids all of ladies parping for the camera.
I hope for the blokes sake he was sacked as facing your colleagues after that would be a no-no.

We had a large format, high quality, high speed colour printer at ClientCo. The night shift used to print off large pictures of decomposing bodies, mangled corpses and the like and leave them on our desks for us to enjoy in the morning over our bacon and ketchup sarnies.

Originally posted by Cliphead View PostYears ago when t'internet was young I was curious about internet porn never having seen any. Waited at ClientCo till most had gone home, did a lycos search and after hesitating and having a last look around clicked on the link. All the alarms in the building went off at exactly the same time, obviously a test. Don't think I ever jumped so high from a seated position.

Two separate client’s sites I found male porno pics and vids on the HR shared area, (all women in HR). Another occasion when I was working in Athens the MDs email was bursting at the seems with it. At a government department in Reading, two male managers were caught in the act early morning in the loo.

Victimless crime if you ask me.................he was probably just trying to get his stress levels down before a busy day.
