  • At home, there's never any reason for me to minimize my content, but at school it's a different story. I've always been the type of think that the teacher will have a bad impression of me should they ever catch me browsing Facebook, or something else other than what I should be doing \:

  • I don't minimize anything because I have nothing to hide. All I do is browse forums, watch anime, check out youtube videos, or talk to people. Privacy is nice and all but my parents aren't out to stalk what I do so it's no biggie to me.

    This is me.

    I used to hide things but then I realized that I got tired of hiding stuff so now I don't hide anything. Turns out my parents don't actually care what I do. XD
    I don't do anything bad anyways thats worth to hide.

  • Yeah, I try to cover up my screen best I can whenever someone in my family comes in my room. I would really like to keep my online and family life separate and it would suck a lot if they knew where I go ;~;

  • I am usually writing a story because stuff, and almost all the time (due to request) I have to write some pretty erotic stuff, but even if it wasn't something labeled NSFW I would still minimize it because I don't like people reading my stuff unless I let them.

    I can practically minimize things at the speed of light. Just reflex actually.

  • I minimise things, not because of privacy, but simply because I don't want to be called weird by my family or friends for my interests. They don't find Pokemon the best of things to be doing with my life, so if they found out I came here, I'd probably get eyes shifted on me every time I entered a room.

  • I minimize pages like a ninja too {XD} Or I just open a new tab and go to Google.. And of course when I leave the room I lock my laptop screen... No one knows the password! ;)

  • I open up a new window with Facebook on the page. Usually in a different browser, so it's on top of whatever I was looking at. Only if it's something I don't want people to see of course.

    This is what I normally do as well lol. xDD

    However, since I don't really have a private room, I can't tell how I deal with someone suddenly entering.

    But I can clearly feel disturbed if there is someone looking at my laptop's screen that is not my sister. When that happens I usually rotate the screen away from them and minimize the things I am doing to clarify that I don't like their prescense. .3.

    Depends who it is. If they're my friends, it doesn't matter what I'm doing. I just let them watch if they're interested. :p

    My parents, ehh. Yeah I let them look but if I'm supposed to be doing homework, I instantly switch to schoolwork even if I've only written a single sentence. Do they get suspicious that I haven't wrote a paragraph in an hour? Probably, but they've never said anything. XD

  • @Some of the people:

    Well, I don't have anything to hide, either, but I still do it. Like I said, it's just a reaction. :p

  • I used to minimize my screen of video player when my parents comes, because I thought they might think that I'm weird watching some show or cartoons, but after some understanding, I have no need to do it when my parents come anymore. I still minimize the screen if the others come, though.

  • Nobody ever comes in my room, I'm upstairs on my own.

    If I'm viewing something on my mobile while on the train or out in public places then yes I'll attempt to hide it depending on what it is.
    No need for strangers to see what people post onto my Facebook news feed.

    I always keep my door locked, so nobody is able to get into my bedroom without knocking. I have a laptop, so when they do, I don't really need to minimize anything; could simply close it down for a while, and open when they're gone. d: If it were a desktop, then yes, I'd go out of my way to hide all programs I have running and stop people from seeing them. It's personal business, so I don't understand why I have to actually show these stuff to them, haha.

  • I really don't. My sister does, and I often ask her what she has to hide in doing such, as usually it's just some AMV or picture off dA. :<

    The only time I'd really have a reason to do that is maybe at school when I'm ROM hacking in study hall and a sub is in or an assistant principal walks in. d:
