What's the weirdest thing you have ever seen on someone's phone or computer?

Worked as the tech person for an office supply store in the US.

Regular (annoying) customer comes in with his desktop and printer in a cart asking for us to "verify the connections between his printer and computer", because it wasn't working.

Hook it all up to our work bench. It was a Win7 machine or something. Before I could navigate it, he urges me out of the way so he could show me what was wrong.

He opens chrome. You know how browsers will ask you to restore tabs when they close improperly? He clicked that option when it pops up. The first thing I see is a movie streaming site that's in Russian with porn ads everywhere. Just raw dogging it.

He closes that tab to reveal an image of a naked child on the next tab. He closes that tab, and there's another one.

I don't really remember what I did, but in hindsight I wish I had called the police. I think he just ended up leaving the store with his stuff after that, but I learned months later that he came back in to use our self-service copiers and had more pictures, and our store manager threatened him and kicked him out.

autism milk rule

You should be offended, and PETA has been doing this forever to make people think eating animal or animal products is bad. But their assertion also implies autism is a negative thing, which is untrue.

Voice Ruler

One of my favorite examples of this is Charles Martinet, longtime voice of Mario (and Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi), is also the voice of the legendary dragon Paarthurnax in Skyrim.
