When someone ask to use my laptop for a minute , or take over my phone to check something real ready , I ’ll always say yes , but it drives me nuts . It believably dates back to my childhood , when watching my parents use the “ kids ’ computer ” for one reason or another always terrified me because they might notice something they were n’t suppose to . Like a bloody game I borrow from a admirer or … something else .
now I ’m reasonably sure I do n’t have anything to hide . But that ’s just it ; I ’m only pretty indisputable . That being the case , watching someone else borrow one of my gadgets for a few minutes is always a bit nerve - racking , but only an asshole would refuse . How about you ? Are you ever afraid someone might accidentally unveil that cache of bawdy limericks you forgot you start indite in the distinction single file ? Are you afraid they might just break whatever they ’ve have their grubby little hand on ? Or are you just not a slave to unrelenting care and paranoia every time you interact with another human being ?
