If someone sits at your pc, would you consider it rude if they go through your bookmarks/links?
I'm just asking because I kind of feel it's slightly rude, but I'm not sure, so it's got me thinking. See, the PC is an extension of my home. It's kind of feels like someone was poking through a cupboard when they didn't need to be. *shrug* It's not a huge feeling, just a very mild feeling. Weird. I'm pretty conscious of the fact that people's pcs are a part of them (looks around and giggles) so I never poke around on a personal pc. Rarely on a work machine either.
Oh, and we spent $5400 yesterday on my beeeeyooootiful new oven/cooktop/rangehood and dishwasher. Beyootiful!

I know sometimes if I'm on a different computer, occasionally I'll go to the faves thingy as a reflex - I forget it's not my list!
Documents and programmes on the other hand- if someone started going through the hard drive then I'd get -really- iffy!

So when is the "welcome to the new kitchen things" party then? ;)

They are instead of the fishburner, and because they are oval they work the same as a fish burner but with more control over the two areas. Plus, you can turn the ovals around, so that instead of long thin heat area, you can have squarer heat area.

If someone was just randomly going through my stuff, personal or whatever, then I'd be pissed. Even if that was them sifting through my bookmarks because I'd left the computer on. Then it's a matter of being uninvited.
