Well that's embarassing

I'm in the office and I googled the phone number of a podiatrist because I need to make an appointment. (This is all fine, our Internet usage policy allows for little bits of personal use like this).

I'm in N Ireland so to get the right general area I put 'NI' in the search bar. Except I must have accidentally hit B instead of the N so...my search returned dozens of websites about bisexual people with foot fetishes, some of them complete with thumbnail photos.

I'm going to get a call from IT security aren't I?

Ha!

We had a company conference years ago and I was writing the presentation. I needed a logo for a well known beer brand.

I did not enjoy the google image of an underage girl with the above mentioned bottle in her you-know-where

NI too if if matters!

Whoops!!!
My dad did something like this when he worked for a large pet food manufacturer in mainland UK. He was a technician at the time and he needed to replace a vibrating plate thing.
I'm sure you can imagine what he googled... 5 minutes later his pc was locked and the It security team were calling him.

Well it's nice to know I'm not alone

I work in HR and a few years ago I had a call from our IT team advising that one of our employees had misused the computers in line with the IT policy... I expected someone to be on Facebook in work time.

I then get a flurry of pictures from IT of one of our employees on a seedy dating website, telling women he loves a "bald pussy and fat tits". His Google history was also interesting

I got a note from HR soon after starting a new job, saying that I needed to approve a change to my personal contact details.

When I went to investigate, I'd filled in the form staying I lived in "Northamptonshite"

pack up your desk and leave immediately - it's your only choice!!

I once heard of a church Christmas newsletter being stopped my email spam filters because it contained the phrase "Ding Dong Merrily on High"...

I was doing a presentation about hair control in the food industry. I needed a photo of hairy arms, so googled a few suitable phrases.

Well, I learned a few things about fetishes that day let me tell you.

I once had to write to all the licensed premises for the local authority I was working in. Luckily someone spotted that one letter was addressed to [Name of pub] Pubic House before it went out.

In the old days before Microsoft the wordstar package would not allow certain words including sex. Great fun for people in Essex, Sussex. I'm sure it was upset by many other words

When studying a winter poem some of my pupils had not heard the word 'muff'. Went to the computer to project a google image onto the smartboard...

Thankfully the penny dropped in time and a verbal description had to suffice! ☺️

Looks like you put your foot in it😅

Scunthorpe was a tricky one in the olden days, I remember.

I was searching images for an iconic Phillipe Stark kettle called 'Hot Berta'. Instead I googled 'Hot Bertha'. I'm glad I didn't do on the white board in front of the sixth formers, but was preparing it in advance of the lesson.

These are great. I'm fully allowed to Google muff in work though, because it's an actual place in Ireland

A man at one of my previous jobs was googling something (what if was escapes me) about 15 years ago. Hardcore porn started to download on his screen and he couldn’t stop it or get through to IT by phone. He had to hand his coat over the screen whilst he went to grab some help.

Scunthorpe and Weightwatchers

We needed a new electromagnetic vibrator to shake components in our environmental chambers. My boss (naive and an IT biff) googled 'vibrator': cue one locked screen and a visit from security.

I once had to write to all the licensed premises for the local authority I was working in. Luckily someone spotted that one letter was addressed to [Name of pub] Pubic House before it went out

Unfortunately no one spotted my letter claiming that "the company books are open to pubic inspection" before it went out

I once had a tense conversation with IT as I was looking for a new walking jacket on my lunch break
Turns out blacks.com is surprisingly different to blacks.co.uk. Not a walking jacket in sight......

Trainee teacher wanted to do some Easter crafts. Googled 'Easter chicks', you can imagine the rest

I work in an Irish language business and our CEO meant to search for “Sult” club....but it autocorrected to Slut Club. You can imagine the rest

Way back when the Internet was new and shiny, 25 odd years ago, my dad, b 1933, was an 'early adopter'.

He wanted to see what the fuss was about, so, being a keen brass bandsman, his first ever search was ...

Black Dyke Mills....

😂😂😂😂
