  • Worked as the tech person for an office supply store in the US.

    Regular (annoying) customer comes in with his desktop and printer in a cart asking for us to "verify the connections between his printer and computer", because it wasn't working.

    Hook it all up to our work bench. It was a Win7 machine or something. Before I could navigate it, he urges me out of the way so he could show me what was wrong.

    He opens chrome. You know how browsers will ask you to restore tabs when they close improperly? He clicked that option when it pops up. The first thing I see is a movie streaming site that's in Russian with porn ads everywhere. Just raw dogging it.

    He closes that tab to reveal an image of a naked child on the next tab. He closes that tab, and there's another one.

    I don't really remember what I did, but in hindsight I wish I had called the police. I think he just ended up leaving the store with his stuff after that, but I learned months later that he came back in to use our self-service copiers and had more pictures, and our store manager threatened him and kicked him out.

  • Not weird, but funny and unexpected.

    I work in live entertainment. I deal with all kinds of shows, but the vast majority of them involve clients making/sourcing content to use in their shows. For instance, something as simple as a PowerPoint presentation on a projector, or music tracks for a dance show. So I use a lot of computers that don’t belong to me.

    The funniest interaction I’ve ever had involved a speaker for a Black History Month presentation. The speaker brought his laptop in, with his slides all ready to go. So we plug it into the projector and he opens it up. As soon as he logs in, we’re both greeted to some hardcore porn playing in full screen. This lady was handling a whole 12 inches like a champ.

    Luckily I had the projector blacked out, so it wasn’t catastrophic. It was only the two of us who saw it. What made it so funny was the fact that the dude wasn’t even ashamed of it. He took a beat, admired what was on the screen, gave a quiet “uh huh”, nodded solemnly, and then slowly moved his mouse cursor to close the browser tab. If he had acted flustered, it would have been a funny interaction. But the fact that he wasn’t in any rush to turn it off (despite the fact that I was sitting right next to him, waiting for him to boot up that presentation,) just had me fucking rolling.

  • Not me, but a good friend of mine. He has a film production/editing side hustle. He was doing a promotional video for a night club, high end place ...like if you're not a good looking girl, if you're inside you're somebody or know somebody and they've got you in. So the owner of the establishment had hired a guy with a semi decent reputation to do all the filming and stills of the club while open and when it's closed to hire out for events. So buddy's going through footage with the camera guy and the owner, flicking through, everything looks good, then a bunch of stills and videos of actual porn. Not like amateur shit, like a full set, lights, crew, the lot. Buddy just skips through, apparently it's not all that uncommon. After they've got through the footage, the owner says to the camera guy:
    Thanks, I think we have enough to put something together. I'll call if {buddy} needs more to work with.

    So camera guy is away, and owner turns to buddy and says:
    Did you fucking see that?!

    Buddy explains it's not that uncommon to find sex pics and video on the same drive as professional shots.

    Owner replied:
    THAT'S MY FUCKING CLUB! AS A FUCKING PORN SET!!
