That's not neccecarily the best option though. Speaking for myself, when I was job searching, my wife (girlfriend at the time) drove me to about half the interviews. I had a car and transportation, but she liked the excuse to go look around a mall or something on that side of town. 

 

It certainly doesn’t apply in every case. History had taught us that if she had come in with you and two others and all applied for the same job.....we had a tie breaker. 

 

These people lived in rural SC and had serious commutes with no public transportation. Relying on having Mary drop you off on her way in every day was a flawed plan.

In this day and age, I am absolutely astounded by the number of people out there who still believe that - if they install an anonymizer software on their computer, or work in incognito mode, or click the Delete History toggle - these will prevent or remove all traces of their computer activities.

 

 

Honestly, deleting the history will just make it worse. I don't even click on most of the links you post from my work computer just in case it pops up somewhere.

  The leaving a note tactic has not worked in a very long time unless you are known to have a lot of money.  

 

Back when ATM's would automatically give you a receipt, some people would just leave them sitting on the machine or in the trash nearby. So I'd pick up the ones with high balances, then use those to leave my notes.

A guy at my work almost 10 years ago got fired for leaving a note on a girls windshield.

He meant no harm, he was just too nervous to walk up to the girl and start talking to her.

 

The note he left said "Hey, I've been watching you and I think you're beautiful".  Again, this guy wasn't trying to be a creeper, he just doesn't have social skills at all towards girls.  I felt sorry for him.

 

Anyway, the girl was so scared she called the cops.  She stayed in her car until they arrived.  The note was on the back on his business card.

Cops walked right into our office.  He wasn't arrested but they had to let Management and HR know the situation.  He was fired on the spot.

 

I've done that.  But with someone else's business card.

Regardless of the students' ages, I think (or at least I hope) we can all agree that showing porn in class is an offense worthy of being fired.

 

 

 

Not if the class is "The History of Porn in Western Civilization."

 

Or just classical mythology.  How much Greek mythology starts with "Zeus was horny and in to bestiality...?"

Fair enough - I should have qualified my statement by adding "in an automotive service class." Unless it's a course on alternative payment methods for car repairs! ?
