Re: Nosing in someone's phone

Morning Mups, Morning All.

Mups, your thread made me smile. I have plenty of opportunity to nose at HWMO's phone if I want to, because I have to remind him to take his phone with him every time he goes out, he finds it a nuisance having to carry it around with him!. Flippin heck, if I didn't charge it up for him every other day it would lie there obsolete on the coffee table. Even if it rings (99% sales) it's always me that has to look to see who is calling, he usually just says "if it's important, they'll leave a message". Definitely would raise suspicions if he suddenly started being possessive with his phone!!

Iknow this last paragraph is rather off topic but I wondered how people felt about opening their husband/wife/partner's mail?. I am astonished at the number of women I know who automatically open mail addressed to their partner/husband. Even those marked Private and Confidential. I can't get my head around that. Surely every person's privacy should be respected. I wouldn't dream of opening mail addressed to anyone else, unless asked to do so.

Maybe it's just me, again!!

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

Same here susie, I wouldn't know how to lock it anyway.

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

I feel the same. No way, phones are private. unless the person is chatting to someone on a bus or wherever & everyone around them can hear the conversation.

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

Totally agree Shroppy, and I can honestly say I have never opened anyone's mail, without their knowledge, in my life.

I used to deal with a lot of my Mum's post for her towards the end, but only because she used to get very confused, plus her eyesight got so poor.
When her hearing went I had to check her answerphone, and ring people back for her too, but that was a different matter altogether, and nothing to do with 'nosing.'

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

That certainly doesn't come under the banner of invading someone's privacy Mups. That was simply loving your mum and helping her. Full Stop.

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

I am a very nosy person but I've not snooped through anyone's phone.

I always delete anything which I wouldn't want anyone to see from my phone, so anyone looking through mine would be immensely bored.

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

I've never snooped on anyones phone.

I wouldnt feel the need to snoop on my husbands phone as I trust him and my husband could quite easily look through my phone if he wanted to but he wouldn't find anything of any interest except me best mate and I telling each other 'Love you' LOL.

I'm not sure I could say the same though if I suspected my husband of cheating as I would need to know and find out. Luckily it has never happened where I am suspicious though.

As for opening letters, my husband and I have always opened each others mail. We don't feel the need to keep anything private from each other. Its always bills anyway. It works for us but I get that some don't like that.

Re: Nosing in someone's phone

Working in IT I often have to work on people phones and laptops the opportunity would always been there to snoop if I wanted but other people stuff is their business really and I have never been tempted at all, I think people are a bit more savvy with work equipment these days anyway and know they can get into trouble, this did not always used to be the case mind and I did have colleagues in the past who took great delight in seeing what the users had in their cache and temp files, there was certainly a couple of files I did not need to see , it led to one user to be forever known as “Clifford the cock” after one of the IT mob found his personal photos , different time
