This happened about 6 years ago during a games conference event.

My boss and I were in an office/satellite farm in London where we took the raw video feeds from the conference in Germany and used our encoders to stream the event to various big game companies etc.

The event ran on long into the evening but everything went perfectly. Once it was finished my boss – MD of the company – asked me to copy the archive file to an external HDD he’d brought with him. I said ok sure, and plugged the drive-in while he went to the toilet. I dragged/dropped the archive file onto the drive but a dialogue box popped up with an error saying ‘source drive full’ or something. I click through to see if there was something easy for me to delete and to my great dismay, the whole 1TB drive is jam-packed full of adult vids. Stuff with names like teen’ and etc.

I sat there in silence thinking I have to somehow tell my boss I can’t copy the file to his “special” drive cos it’s too full of his special material. So at the last minute, I decided to feign ignorance and give him a plausible chance to save face. I close down the window and leave the room just as he comes back. He asks if I’ve copied the file and I say, no sorry, the disk is full. I’m going to see if I can find another disk to use. As I’m walking down the corridor I just hear him shout at the top of his lungs ‘AH F! THAT’S MY P!!’

He then calls me back in and tells me it’s for when he goes away on conferences and that he gets lonely and I was very much. Long story short, I deleted his “materials” and copied the file.

Here are what netizens think:

Honestly bravo to the boss. He knew he got caught yet decided to full send into honesty instead of sneaking around it.

This is still funny though. Hopefully he has since discovered that most places, he can just go to a website instead of having it all downloaded.

Worked in I.T. doing backup before upgrading laptop to new ones for clients. Once i met a guy telling me he will do the backup himself to «have me not wasting too much of my time». I saw some of the names of files he was copying in the Windows popup… «girls gone wild…» yeah… very work oriented stuff.

Me and this guy (35F and 23M) had been dating for almost a year now. I didn’t tell him that I had a 9 year old son at first, because I thought it might be a turn off initially, and that he might feel burdened because he’d feel he had some kind of responsibility he wasn’t ready for.

He’s still really young, and I didn’t want him to think I’d expect him to be some kind of father figure immediately. Of course I wasn’t going to keep this from him for much longer, I’d actually considered telling him already but it just never seemed like it was the right moment. I was able to keep it from him because my son mostly lives with his dad, and I was able to coordinate the time I spend with him without it clashing with when I see my boyfriend. We usually prefer to go out, but when he does come over I try to hide all traces of my son, which I know seems very over the top but again, I was going to tell him when the time was right.

He ended up finding out when I had taken a nap on his couch and I left my phone on the coffee table.

He saw a text from my ex that asked if I could pick our son up from his grandparent’s house instead of him driving him to my place. He thought at first that it was my brother asking me to pick up my nephew (he has the same name as my ex), and just casually told me that my brother had texted me.

I told him that it was actually my son and he was understandably shocked. He didn’t seem too happy that I had kept it from him. I told him I waited a bit to tell him because I didn’t want him to feel pressured, and that I was going to tell him soon anyway. I also don’t think one year is that long for a relationship, and that there are bound to be things that we still don’t know about each other.

Is it really that bad that I waited a bit before telling him about my son?

Here are what netizens think:

• She was so close to getting it right, it’s infuriating. If she had just had a conversation and told her boyfriend that she had a son but wasn’t looking for a dad, you’re not going to meet him for a long time, etc. everything would have been fine. Instead she lied.

• I can understand not introducing him to the kid until it’s serious but not telling him you have one?? Unless the kid was totally out of her life and there was some traumatic story involved there’s no excuse.

• 34 and 22 is a gross age gap no matter the gender make up.
