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!!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.
Boss called me in because his computer was slow. What I saw was a desktop filled to the last pixel with files, stacked on top of each other and hundreds of open browser windows with hundreds of tabs each and a blurry background image of the building we were in (honestly a beautiful old, restored building but it was his whole identity). I had no words.
I had a boss who asked me about a similar thing, their computer was going slow. I saw them checking their email by booting up their (quite old) Mac, launching a VM which loaded a full Windows installation, then opening Outlook inside Windows. I asked about it, and apparently they used to have a PC and Outlook set up for their email, then at some point had switched to Mac and somehow landed on that as the solution. I told them you can just install Outlook directly onto the Mac and they said I was being unhelpful lol.
One guy I knew had a picture of himself giving finger guns as his background and whenever he unlocked his phone he would smirk at it like “oh you”
It wasn’t his lock screen either, just the home screen, so he knew it looked sketch
I knew a guy that had to come out to his parents (as both gay and a furry) because he set gay furry porn as his lock screen. Not quite sure what the reasoning was there…
Back in highschool my friend managed to set his family pc’s desktop to an animated gif of a woman getting a facial.
I got the most desperate phone call asking me to come over and help. I showed up and set it to normal about 1 min before his mom came home.
Cool, so now he owes you his life and eternal soul. What are you going to do with it? /s
