TIFU sharing screen during conference meeting at work.

r/

I have few meeting scheduled today and one of the meeting was later changed to zoom meeting.

My colleague was supposed to do a bit of presentation. Halfway thru, his computer keeps lagging and exited the sharing screen on its own a couple of times. Our boss seems impatient and expressed his agitation. So, I decided to help my colleague and lend him my laptop (I was already in the zoom call but i was in another room)

Instead of double checking his slides on my laptop first, he went straight to the browser.

He opens up my browser, and cotton panties ads shouting on the screen. I was so embarrassed and he got embarrased. Yes, I was looking at lingerie last night before I went to bed. Luckily it was on not on the other tab. It was black lacy lingerie with tiny little bow I’m getting myself for my birthday. 🫣

Now, no one has reported me to HR regarding this. I don’t know if I’m in trouble.

Tldr: Please make sure double check yourself before being kind to other people.

Ps: There was also few tabs on the browser of job applications.

    If people got reported to HR for ads the internet pushed on you (or for wearing underwear) there would be no one left to work.

    Pro tip, as a general rule before sharing my screen I just close my browser to be 100% sure. I also purge my history regularly so there is no risk of some weird auto complete suggestion pulling something up embarrassing.

    Why do you shop for underwear on your work computer?
