Oh jeez, I didn't even think of that. OP, please tell me this was not a video of your friend.

that would be extremely AWKWARD. There are just certain things I personally don't need to see, and I accidentally saw once.. I just don't get why people think it's a good idea to send and receive and save naughty photos or porn on their phones. If you want it that bad, use the computer, or send it to your email for later- phones can be stolen and messed with..

So I accidently took a mutual friend's Blackberry yesterday night and seeing that it was fancy, I decided to check out the basics to see why it's so sought after. I was still under the influence of alcohol, so I don't normally touch things that aren't mine. I bumped my finger on the Videos folder by mistake and it listed videos with vague names.

Intrigued, I opened one of them...and it was (straight) pornography....the rest of the videos were pretty much prawns as well.

Not sure how I could face my friend without a) busting laughing b) embarassed for invading his privacy (seriously, it was like right there in the Videos folder)

Should I tell him when I hand back his phone today? The reason why I ask is because one of the videos was kinda hot and I kinda wanted it for my collection...but I'm not sure if I should ask because he'll know I've found his stash *blushes*

We are both in our 20s and he's straight (most likely) while I'm a bisexualish man. It's a bit troubling for me, seeing if I do bring it up, he might be super embarassed as he's the quiet/shy type and I don't know him that well...and I kinda don't want to ruin our friendship if worst case scenario happens...

Thanks!
I would be ashamed of myself, not just embarrassed, that I invaded someone's privacy like that and would never bring it up.

First of all, what is a bisexualish man?
Secondly, you don't want to ruin a friendship but you don't know him well?

I think you possibly have the hots for this guy and want to segue into talking about sex to see if he'd be up for experimenting with your bisexualish side, because IMO this is a no-brainer.

No kiddin'! I stared at the title and wondered if I ended up in the Food forum somehow.

I would feel violated if an semi-friend looked through my phone and watched my videos. Would be even more weirded out if he asked me for them...

Return phone, say nothing.

LOL..thanks for the lesson JJ because I was wondering how shrimp and a blackberry phone crossed paths!

BTW, just give the guy back his phone and don't say anything. Once you realized it wasn't your phone, you violated his privacy by snooping.

As long as the porn wasn't illegal (minors involved), I would just chalk it up as another embarrassing incident and keep the memories to yourself. I doubt your friend would be happy that you went through his phone, drunk or not. It's like going through someone's journal or diary...invasion of privacy!

JJ- haha, you're much more mellow than I am- I would have edited the thread title and OP to clarify. Then again, I've been a forum mod myself for a while now in another location.
