DP is alone upstairs with my unpassworded phone

He’s convinced he can set up an echo dot where I’ve failed. We’ll see. But should I worry? Will he peruse my what’s app chats where I join in a general moan about men? Will he find my secret stash of topless pics of Giovanni from Strictly? What about my Amazon purchase history of meaningless crap?

What would you worry about in my shoes? Besides being proven wrong re defective dot?

I'd be worried he would see the absolute SHIT I read on crappy online newspaper websites like the Daily Mail, The Sun etc

TriangularPrism · 23/06/2021 20:48

I take it you're the DP trying to find out what you should be looking for then since you've got her phone?

TangledTrees · 23/06/2021 20:48

I am going hot and cold at the mere thought of handing over my unlocked phone Grin

TSSDNCOP · 23/06/2021 20:50

He'd never wrestle it out of my cold dead hand.

KatherineOfGaunt · 23/06/2021 20:51

I wouldn't worry about anything as I've nothing to hide. Not that DH or I would snoop on each other anyway.

Ineedtogotobednowplease · 23/06/2021 20:51

I'd be worried he would find my secret Pinterest board and find out about my unhealthy obsessions with physically appealing actors.

What is he trying to set up on the dot? You just use the Alexa app on your phone to do it all.

Oh God, my bookmarked favourite fanfiction stories featuring lots of slash Grin

ChaToilLeam · 23/06/2021 20:52

I’d worry that he would see that I watch blackhead videos.

gamerchick · 23/06/2021 20:52

I wouldn't care. He knows my passcodes anyway. He has strict instructions if I die Grin

romdowa · 23/06/2021 20:53

Probably that he would read some of my pregnancy groups and get really grossed out 🤣🤣

GrolliffetheDragon · 23/06/2021 20:53

I view anything I don't want DH to know about in incognito mode.

Not that there's anything awful, it's just anything I might get embarrassed about and it's mostly just silly things anyway.

(For some reason my phone decided 'silly' should say 'adult', which would have given a very different impression 😄)

IHaveBrilloHair · 23/06/2021 20:54

Giovanni, ewww, no.

Yes!!! This.
CatsArePeople · 23/06/2021 20:55

i don't keep anything stupid on my phone. Maybe some rude memes.

Aposterhasnoname · 23/06/2021 20:55

How much those £2 trinny london pots really cost.

Goingplacestogether · 23/06/2021 20:56

Love all these answers! And no@TriangularPrism I’m definitely the phone owner. He’s just come down not exactly admitting defeat but on his usual hobby horse of IPhones being shit! I’m clearly trusted as he’s only taken the opportunity to set up his beloved mistress Alexa. He has her in every room in his house.

And yes to fanfic stash Grin

My phone and my wife's phone have the same pin numbers.
My bank debit card and my wife's bank debit card have the same pin numbers (Not the same as the phone pins)
It is called total trust.

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 23/06/2021 20:58

Oh goodness. My DH might suddenly discover where I told my best friend how to buy her daughter’s senior school blazer.

And how to vote for our school’s Pet Of The Year.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 23/06/2021 20:58

Yep this 🙈

Also my 'stan' twitter account which is not the same as my regular respectable twitter account 🙈

trevthecat · 23/06/2021 21:00

I would worry he would find it so boring he would be concerned that he made a mistake marrying me 😂

Goingplacestogether · 23/06/2021 21:01

@Ineedtogotobednowplease the gen 1 device he’s given me won’t synch. I could but one but all I need is a device to say “Alexa, set timer for 30 mins” in morning 😊

I bet he does, the dirty, dirty dog.

Greyrootszerohoots · 23/06/2021 21:03

I’d worry he’d log into mumsnet 😅

mygenericusername · 23/06/2021 21:06

Oh god. My YouTube search history. I have a serious fascination with true crime documentaries. He may get the wrong idea.
