Clear your camera before selling it!

Recommended Posts

I bought a used cx100 on eBay a while back as a spare in case my main one dies. Hadn't used it yet, but was doing some ground video on Saturday and pulled out that camera so I didn't have to take the one off my helmet.

Pulled in all the video in the computer today, without realizing that the previous owner had left a lot of video on it.

Scrolled through the other video, and while there was lots of boring stuff, there was an extended segment of these guys smoking pot and snorting cocaine through dollar bills! Laugh. Really ? If you're going to do illegal stuff delete it off the camera before you sell it to a random stranger.

It's like I saw on CNN today - some base jumpers got nailed for jumping the wtc because they had footage of it on their go pros In their house. At least hide that stuff somewhere - don't make it easy for the cops!!!

I kinda miss doing computer repairs.

The "mom got new tits" pics that then became "dad's getting a bj to go with mom's new tits" pics. Or worse. :)
I was always quite surprised at what activities people will photograph.



Been there, done that.

I think it's entertaining to undelete pictures from memory cards that I get used or people borrow. Sometimes there's some interesting things on them!

I work in an IT shop for a professional services firm and people routinely bring their phones, iPad's, etc. in for us to setup. I don't know if people forget, or are just plain stupid, but I've seen it all ... dick pics, selfie boob shots, video of bj's in the office. This, combined with what I see people put in email ... this stuff never goes away, people.

I have a totally different perspective of the place I work when I see pics of the boss banging the secretary on his desk.
Redheads are pretty cute sometimes though.
:)

Or the pics of the 4-way with 3 engineers and a secretary from the pool on the engineering couch. Now I understand why people refused to sit on that couch.
Or pics of my boss being diddled by a coworker on the conference table.
Or someone banging the redhead programmer on the top of the VAX.
Or the CEO's group sex party from last weekend.

Man we humans sure are entertaining.
:D

Only one of those happened where I now work.
That boss is no longer employed here.
Her husband met the coworker at the door one day....
when the police became involved HR had to do something.


The only other excitement here is the contractor banging the married chick in the graveyard down the street.

I worked at the service desk at a CompUSA in high school.

My (least?) favorite was after replacing a video card that had overheated and died* we fire it up and the desktop wallpaper is a woman posing seductively on a stone alter, draped in a Nazi flag.

* apparently the person was using their computer case both to house components and as a dryer vent based on how much lint was in it.

It was even more entertaining when her husband busted her.
She called HR and cried hostile work environment and named 10 guys that were sexually harassing her.
:S
She tried to say she wouldn't have cheated on her hubby had she not been sexually harassed at work.
I'm still amazed she hasn't been fired.
