    Someone that I wouldn't know really well,asked me do I know anyone that would do a "job" on her husband.
    When I kinda half laughed at her, she said "what are you laughing at, I'm serious". :eek:

    Someone close to me got drunk one night and began to exclaim among other things that he literally couldn't give a crap about anyone else. He emphasised it over and over with a very clear certainty. "I just couldn't give a fcuk about other people" he declared proudly. He's always been a bit of a lone wolf and he's definitely highly self-centered but he kind of confirmed what I already knew. I really felt there was no hope for him in that moment - he wishes to contribute nothing to this world.

    Why is that so disturbing? Just look around the world, all the bad things that happen, seems pretty common for people to not care about anyone but themselves!

    If you're NSA then, of course it's simple but for regular people...no.

    Plus usually when you get the 'that pervert was able to hack my computer and record me doing perverted things' it's more than likely someone was on chatroulette or similar program, and doing perverted things-then someone recorded them. It's not an accident these folks are caught, it's usually them getting caught-similar to Anthony Weiner.

    Don't get this one. When you say perverts I guess you mean sexual perverts. What has blackmailing someone for a monetary reward got to do with sexual gratification?

    Also, the positioning of webcams on laptops is such that only your face would generally be visible. I guarantee you, my facial reactions to AH aren't worth blackmailing me over. Sexual gratification, yes, but not blackmail.

    I received three pairs of fancy underwear from one of my uncles on my 16th birthday.
    That was pretty creepy!

    I think the world is full of sociopath cocksuckers that walk over other people and generally get on quite well for themselves. Society does get something in return from them.

    This was something else. This was the inner monologue of someone who abstains from harming other people mainly because of dealing with the hassle of the consequences. This was the voice of a dark mind and soul. Trust me, this wasn't a glib remark or two. it was a very unnerving experience.

    guy would put a piece of blue tack/ putty over the web cam on his laptop so that he couldnt' be spied on.

    The smartest hackers don't necessarily work for the NSA and the NSA have been hacked.

    In fact the recent ransomware was based on a NSA discovered vulnerability.

    Real psychopaths tend to be charming. This guy was just odd.

    That's some skill. You are saying that an average joe soap has the capability from the comfort of his own laptop at home target any laptop and focus on those that fits his sexual preference.

    Then when he has infiltrated their cam can somehow speak to them and get them to carry out individual sex acts and blackmail them further.

    No. He controls the camera randomly and in some cases gets blackmail material.

    I think the term 'hacking' has been intentionally misinterpreted by people-as a sort of mass hysteria. Similar to how when the news of a virus comes out, the media go ape whilst everyone with a decent anti-virus software updates their virus definitions in order to prevent any crud happening.
    We hear people say 'oh, I hacked his facebook...when really they just figured out their password. No actual hacking'.

    As far as the website with hacked cams-fake news. Probably porn.

    As far as hacking teens pages- facebook messenger, skype, etc meant that's how they hacked their cameras. Some folks set that up to auto answer. Again, no hacking. To film it, just set up a screen recording software-cheap, and easy. There are many camera recording programs that are free.

    "I followed you home last night"
    A Swiss girl that I worked with when I was 19.
    Spotted her walking behind me a few times after that too! 19... didn't give it too much thought at the time but she was a whole lot of crazy.

    Another female work colleague in a different job tried to blackmail me. She told me she was going to do it and that sent the shivers down me. It was just after I had gotten engaged. If it wasn't for another colleague who was friends with us both (and knew the story), I would have been screwed as this girl was very attractive and I would have had a hard time convincing people I didn't make passes at her etc.

    I just talk to blokes in work anymore.

    "I hope you die in a car accident" - driver in the lane next to me when I was checking the GPS on my phone while stopped at traffic lights in Australia on the way to a job interview. The guy sat and screamed at me for about 30 - 40 seconds, the lights had gone green and back to red but the two cars in front of me hadn't moved, think they were as shocked as I was! I was pretty shaken, didn't get the job!!

    No 1 - 'I could so easily have manipulated you if I wanted'.

    No 2 - 'I don't remember you having a miscarriage ' <- not disturbing in the traditional sense. But my mother said it, who was very cold hearted during the whole time.

    Whoosh!

    I had to Google why and in fairness to that poster..... I'd never heard/knew of that either. Is it an older 'celebration' or is it still sung these days?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,574 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    One night I was out in a bar and heard this lad say to my GF: "Me and you should rape your boyfriend". WTF? He just stumbled off afterwards.

    One Sunday morning a few weeks back, I was out walking my dog and an old one came up to me and said: "In Spain, God runs this country. If you don't like it, you can leave". Nutter, just shrugged at her and kept walking.

    I visited my boyfriend of the time's workplace now and then for whatever reason (this was entirely fine with his employers, they knew I was coming) and it was clear his colleague was giving me a wide berth. I'd walk into the warehouse/workshop and he'd mutter a hello and sidle out of it as fast as you can sidle without breaking into a run. I've got a mental image of him vaulting the machinery to get to the door faster, it almost looked like he wanted to :D. He never said anything disturbing but it was the fact that he couldn't stand in a large room on his own with me with the other men not far away and the doors wide open was somewhat disturbing. I don't know if it was less or more disturbing when my boyfriend told me the man was previously accused of inappropriate conduct of some kind (I don't remember if he was actually accused of sexually assaulting anyone but something along those lines). I don't believe he did anything inappropriate but it clearly stuck with him.

    Oh but cyber security is anything from anti-virus software to 'don't open that email from a prince in nigeria'.

    The person I mentioned wasn't worried about deviants-he was worried about 'the government' spying on him. (Had no problem using a mobile phone tho-a device which gives away your geological location to anyone in the world)l.
    He would even start saying 'reptile' at certain politicians if he saw them on tv or in the papers. Ya know, cos of the whole 'the elite powerful people in the world are shape changing reptiles'.
    MAd conspiracies this guy had-even one's that other conspiracy folks would look at and call crazy.

    KitKat had a competition about four years ago where they said they'd put tracking devices into a small number of Kitkat packages and a couple of people I know didn't trust the motive behind it. If I remember the ad correctly, a helicopter would arrive with a suitcase full of money for the people with the winning kitkats. They looked at those ads and saw something sinister..I don't know, men with guns leaping out and killing the poor eejit with the winning kitkat? :D

    They're pretty well up on ways to avoid being tracked by nefarious new world order entities and don't even sign up to loyalty card schemes.

    To be fair though I know normal people with sticking plasters and bits of masking tape on their laptop cameras after that story in the news about ordinary Irish peoples homes being livestreamed by some hacky thing. They don't know and don't want to spend the time learning about more time consuming ways to prevent this from happening, it takes two seconds to cover it and forget about it.

    Mine's on loan and so old it doesn't seem to have a camera :D

    This one really did disturb me. I'd heard from two male friends that they were at a party at another male friend's house and overheard the host's other friend describing what he'd like to do to the host's young niece. My 2 friends pointed out the niece was 13. Apparently this was not an issue for the other guys, including the girl's own uncle, who had kind of laughed in agreement!. So a few months later the guy who had made that remark had split up with his girlfriend, and she was ''going around calling him a paedophile.''
    What actually disturbed me most was that even my two friends didn't believe her..despite themselves having told me they'd heard him making sexual remarks about an underage girl, and having themselves objected to the remarks. She was branded as a crazy woman by nearly everyone. my friends said ''No but she really is crazy''. That doesn't mean she can't be right.

    i worked years ago with an absolute pri*ck of a man who said to a lady who came back to work after recovering from breast cancer "sure tis one less for your husband to feel"

    He also said to a women over the phone whose son had Asperger's and ADHD "i like to call what your son has, the spoilt brat syndrome, if you stayed at home and minded your child he wouldn't have these problems"

    Had to move after that, couldn't work with him anymore the asshol*:mad::mad::mad:

    on lighter note i was out one night in cork and a dwarf man came over to me and said he liked the smell of my hair (i was in heels and he was very small :D:D:D:D)

    I would say he was just afraid of being accused of anything if he stayed alone in a room with a girl

    I know, that's what bothers me. It must have got to him very badly.

    I've told this one before but it's the only one that's ever struck me as the closest I've ever been to a killer.

    In a lift on my own, fine summers day, flip flops on with toenails done, guy gets in business suit, briefcase the whole shebang but stared at my feet the whole way down 5 floors which felt like an hour. When the lift stopped he got real close and said "I like your feet".

    Still spooks me to this day!!! Just had a terrible vibe.

    Now he could just have a foot fetish but jesus, control yourself like.
