Smut email hubby claims iPhone glitch

Anonymous Coward

Clear up afterwards... 

Paris Hilton

The moral of this story is surely, if you are gonna use technology to cheat, be careful to make sure you clear any evidence...

PH - Because I bet she has "accidently" emailed indecent photo's

Obviously a bug 

Boffin

I mean what else could it be? Computers do all kinds of strange things all the time. For example it replaces my carefully worded reply with swearwords when I send email to my boss. I would think that they would fix that bug as soon as possible but it's been like this for a long time already.

iMarriage? 

Paris Hilton

Hope her iLawyer is a good one as the iSettlement will need to be good in the iDivorce.

Paris, cause she knows how it feels to have multimedia content distributed via the Internet.

I don't know, you have an affair and you can't even do that properly

Serves her right for reading his email. 

Thumb Down

Reading your partners email, phone messages, diary etc. is just asking to find out something you really didn't want (or need) to know.

Stupid bint.

Got what she deserved 

Shouldn't have been snooping round his phone then, should she?

Christopher P. Martin

I don't know why... 

...but "sock-puppet" sounds a bit wrong in this context!

Oh well... 

...it's a better try than 'the panda's made me do it.'

That one never works for me either...

Jobs Halo

Just....well....

jeremy

your marriage depends on it.. 

It certainly does if you are checking my sent folder on my iPhone when i am not looking.

Anybody who does this kind of clandestine investigation e.g. looking at partners' texts / email, is someone looking to be binned.

Course, if i was with some other bit of strumpet, i would admit to it... multiple women are just too much hassle to maintain!

P.Nutt

He must have been under stress 

Coat

To have thought up an excuse as lame as that. He could have at least claimed his doctor was wanting to check his prostate was functioning and wanted him to emai the results due to the surgery being closed for the weekend!

Or

Yeah Darling, I was drunk and I emailed my boss saying this is how much of a wanker he is!

Or

You mean you didnt receive my sexy picture....Who the hell did I send it to...OMG!!!!

I lost my ticket can I still have my coat?

Playmobil

It's a worthy candidate - surely Playmobil has an iPhone out for their "people" now?

Dan

Err... 

Stop

Forget the question of a bug - why was he taking pics like that anyway? Everyone knows about the awful lag between clicking and the actual picture being taken - it's common on almost every digi camera, especially the cheap ones. He's got some skill!

Someone needs to out the IP of the two posters who agreed with her husband.

are you referring the by-product of the moment *cough*

Does anyone else notice that the "wife" seems really upbeat and not too bothered by all of this?

Anonymous Coward

exact moment of maximum pleasure 

Paris Hilton

The guy has some pretty good photography skills if he can compose and take a photo at said moment. Unless, like his Mrs said, he had lots of practice.

I could be wrong, and this is the latest killer app for the Jesus* phone.

* well arent' we all converted at the moment of maximum pleasure.

Paris etc.

Anonymous Coward

Happens to me as well 

Paris Hilton

I often seem to have sent photos of myself, pleasing myself to woman. I shall use this website as proof that is Apple's fault and not mine when I'm up in front of the judge next week :-)

I wonder if Paris wants pix of me since I seem to have alot of her, pleasing not only herself - who knows her number ?

mmm... better excuse?

I mean the iPhone has bugs to cover every topic,infidelity surely should be covered. However I must commend Mr Jobs - his team will surely add a security feature to quash this bug

/sarcasm while laughing end

Bug because this obviously is one

Another reason the iPhone sucks

My HTC TyTN never tells on anyone that I've been going on those coin-operated horsey rides!

Skull and crossbones. Because I like pretending to be a cowboy pirate when I ride those.

Re: Shocked at the lack of support from the males. 

That's because real males don't buy iPhones, only (fan)boys.

Nice to see...

When I first started reading it I thought that some kind blokes had done exactly that, just randomly supported one of their fellow men by planting enough doubt in her mind as to sway her into at least inertia. Alas no. We brothers must stick together, but not literally.

And to echo other posters, if she's reading his email behind his back then she's almost certainly psycho material anyway and needs ditching asap. Best thing that could've happened to him really.

It supports the whole "women's-intuition-is-probably-bullshit" argument in that they're no more intuitive than a Halford's car sponge; they just snoop, pry and scheme continuously and thus know stuff they shouldn't.

Paris, because she has enough money to pay other people to spy on you and your Sent Items.

'Judgement' is for real. I know him. And I've had real troubles with ranchy pictures on my iphone too.

To all those saying it's her fault/that she shouldn't have been looking... 

Thumb Down

You got something to hide then?

"Don't want to know" is different from "Doesn't deserve to know". She deserves to know if her hub is cheating on her - go and look up marriage vows. If you honestly believe he was in the right, you should never get married, or ever have any kind of relationship other than perhaps a jar of pasta-sauce. He is def. the one who needs ditching (and she was probably looking because she already suspected).

Thumbs down to anyone who belittles marriage.

I know it's not perfect, but... 

Paris Hilton

...I'm referring to the JesusPhone as the iPonse at the moment. If you forget about the "h" then a quick jumble of the letters produces the exact sentiment for people that purchase these devices, no?

Paris, because I'll probably need some of her oral skills to get Orange to give me an HTC Touch HD for free when my contract comes up in December...

The two defensive posts are from different guys, or one clever guy - grammar styles are quite different.
