Don't look!

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 \:

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 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 log out whenever someone comes in, I mean I don't really know why it's not like i'm looking at anything bad it's just something I naturally do it
 
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
 
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.
 
No one really watches me because I don't really do anything interesting on the Internet anyway.
 
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:
 
I don't unless it's my mom or step dad. Can't let them know I've been talking to people on the internet of all places.
 
my dad actually went into my skype and read through a few... interesting conversations a year or so ago sooo needless to say I've become more private and changed all my passwords and stuff haha. I minimize anything whenever anyone walks in.
 
Well, what's on my screen or not. I need privacy, don't just come into my room without knocking.
