My foray into identity theft
A few weeks back, I opened FireFox on a library computer. Inexplicably, FaceBook came up as the homepage, and I found myself logged into somebody else's account. So I changed his status to "occasionally neglects to log out of his account on public computers" and logged him out. I wonder if anything ever came of that.

I misspelled a word and I erased the comment, but now it will forever say "comment deleted." Frustrating.
Anyway, I have a story that is sorta similar.
A girl used my computer, but she didn't log out. So, when I opened up my browser the next time it opened up to her gmail account. One of the first things I saw was an email with my name on the subject heading.I wanted so badly to click it, but I knew it would be a violation of trust if I did, and I felt horrible for even entertaining the idea (didn't entertain it for more than the second it took to click out,but still, I knew I wanted to click the email and this bothered me).
Anyway, now I'll be forever curious.
