So I received a phone call a few minutes ago here at work.  It’s been a slow day, and this call definately made it worth while.  So this woman calls in and informs me she is a student and has a question but it’s not about anything on campus.  She tells me that she was looking through her browser history and she saw some profiles of girls.  She said she asked her boyfriend about it, and he said he was simply changing some settings and it must have done it on its own.  I informed her that when I look through my history, I can see where I looked at people’s photos on facebook, etc., and it was because I clicked on them.  She then asked, just to make sure, that there was no possible way that messing with settings would automatically look at these girls profiles.  When I informed her it would not, she said, “Well he’s caught.  Thanks.”  I hung up the phone and could not stop laughing.

A few things I have to say about the situation.  First off, don’t bullshit when you need not.  Looking at photos is not that big of a deal (in my opinion) but lying about it is.  Second, if you are going to be doing shit that your significant other might get mad about, ie. looking at other girls’ profiles, learn how to clear your private data such as cookies, cache, and history.  Finally, and most importantly, if your girlfriend is that upset, either don’t be with her if she acts that jealous, or stop doing it, plain and simple.  I have been known to get jealous about stuff like that a few years ago, but I wouldn’t have been upset about it unless she did lie to me about looking at their profiles.  But at the same time, if they’re friends, it may just be that, checking out your friends.

Analyze things before you jump to conclusions.  That’s the best advice I can give.  Or get out of the situation if it bothers you that much.
