    As an IT person, I’m consistently amazed at what people will do on their work computers if allowed.

    People log into all their social media accounts, save credit card info for online shopping, save personal passwords, make doctors appointments, etc.

    As for weirdest? I was working on a woman’s work PC years ago and her desktop was filled with a bunch of boomer-style pro Trump memes. She was logged into her Facebook account on the PC and was downloading them onto her desktop and then presumably posting them to FB. It was stuff like, “I’m a proud Trump girl!” With a picture of a Minion in front of an American flag. Classic cringey boomer stuff.

    Another weird one: In college, I once saw a girl using one of the library color printers to print an entire recipe book. Like with full color pictures and everything. The whole thing looked like it was several hundred pages thick, absolutely huge. The library had a sign right above the printers that requested students not print more than 20 pages in full color, so RIP to their toner on that one lol.

      PSA: Lots of public libraries (Idk about college ones) have separate printers that are specifically for books. They can help you with binding and everything.

      Most of the schools/colleges using Xerox printers around here charge $1 per color page. Sounds like it might have been cheaper to buy the book.
