- jenel, on 10/12/2007, -22/+350Was she hot?
- ipodsweatshop, on 10/12/2007, -31/+356Why would you take a shower with a stranger in the house?
Lawsuit dismissed on grounds of stupid. - rglover, on 10/12/2007, -15/+275Geek Squad is toast. Rejoice!
- FlyboyP, on 10/12/2007, -13/+248Geek Squad is a bunch of nappy-headed Haos.
- marcuschi, on 10/12/2007, -36/+261But she has really huge ***** and dolls herself up like a whore so it's completely understandable that anyone would mistake that as a sexual invitation, you know... being that she's a whore. I mean, who takes a shower when a complete stranger is in your home?
- BobTurtle, on 10/12/2007, -13/+180More like PEEP squad! Am I rite?
- abyss478, on 10/12/2007, -9/+175I'm gonna have to see that video for myself before I can fully understand her pain
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+147I'm amazed that a Geek Squad agent could get a video camera working.
- loof, on 10/12/2007, -5/+150Why wouldn't you take a shower when he's there? Her mom and sister were both home. It's not like she was like ok fix my computer now while I go get naked and soap myself up, oh and by the way I'm all alone here so no peaking ^_^
It's also completely possible she could have missed the phone on the counter. I know I don't do a sweep of my bathroom for recording devices before I get in the shower. Depending on the setup of the bathroom she could have came in, undressed and turned on the shower she could have been facing the wrong direction the whole time and her only chance of seeing it was when getting out. Besides girls leave crap all over the counters anyway. - altosaxon, on 10/12/2007, -24/+139Who takes a shower when some random person is in their house anyway?
- shafeeq, on 10/12/2007, -8/+91They are called the geek squad for a good reason.
- Sarki, on 10/12/2007, -8/+88Much more detailed and original story here:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Geek_Squad_agent_arrested_after_spying_on_customer_in_shower - haggie, on 10/12/2007, -24/+99Who showers when they have a repairman in their home? I have a suspicious feeling that she was coming on to him and was pissed that all he did was video her...
BB attorneys are going to tear this to pieces. - danielrh9, on 10/12/2007, -14/+76You know, I wonder if this woman even knows what she is talking about when she talks about "taking the memory out of the phone" and stuff like that. She WAS calling Geek Squad to fix her computer.
- laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+63People who have faith in professionalism and need to be clean?
- victorman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+64freaking n00b. he should have waited until both sisters were in the shower...
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+58Link *straight* to the article: http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_101211540.html
- plasticmind, on 10/12/2007, -9/+64No, you're "right".
- 1jaxstate1, on 10/12/2007, -9/+63Jessie Jackson is on the way, we all hate u now.
- benjimon, on 10/12/2007, -9/+63hahaha Hao Kuo Chi doesnt know hao to get the kuo chi
- SmackMyMac, on 10/12/2007, -5/+59Standard Geek Squad Protocol: When issue with computer can not be determined, consult the magic shower for advice.
Now why they video taped it, who knows? - robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -5/+55Actually GeekSquad does have some responsibility in the matter. They have the responsibility of knowing they are sending honest and level-headed employees into someone's Home.
Imagine if companies could hire anyone and send them into your home, then absolve themselves of responsibility. "Oh, well we knew he was an ex-con but you know how it goes...con's will be cons!" - robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -5/+55I find it amusing that there's a GeekSquad ad on the original story that states "We've spent more time with Windows Vista than is socially acceptable"
Hmmm...socially acceptable....
http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_101211540.html - jjesusfreak01, on 10/12/2007, -13/+63Everyone here is stupid. She took a shower with the phone recording her, he left his phone in her bathroom, which she found...
- ciram, on 10/12/2007, -6/+54When I saw the embedded youtube video I expected to see her in the shower... oh well..
- jimmyjars, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42You pay for your porn?
- Muss, on 10/12/2007, -7/+44Is it just me or are there some huge holes in her story?
1. I might be wrong and please correct me if I am but don't most camera phones only tape like 1 minute of consecutive video. How would he be able to set it up and then have time to get out before she gets into the shower.
2. While he was still in the house she goes in to take a shower, discovers the phone, calls her sister, takes the memory card to the store, waits an hour for someone to assist her and convince them that she needs to view a video on another phone alone, is shocked, and finally returns home where the geek is still picking his nose and defragging her hard drive while being stalled until the police show up.
While I hate the Geek Squad as much as anyone else, I personally think that this girl went into the bathroom and found that the technician had accidentally left his phone on the sink(not taping or anything else). She figured she could use this to her advantage and came up with the plan. Well that is my theory. - geoken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35I don't understand what's so implausible about her story. This seems like a pretty likely chain of events;
1) Mom and daughters chilling out after geek squad guy gets there.
2) Daughter tells mom she's taking a shower, geek squad guy over-hears.
3) Couple seconds later, while daughter is getting her stuff together, geek squad guy asks to use the washroom. The rest is self explanitory.
And for anyone questioning #2, it's pretty common in many households (including mine) to tell people you're going to take a shower in case someone needs to use the washroom or so nobody starts the washing machine. Even if 2 didn't happen, it's isn't a stretch to think that the guy would put the camera there hoping something would happen considering how long he was at the residence for. - doolittle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35I doubt the courts will find this individual's actions were performed on behalf of the respective employer. It may be he has had a prior conviction for similar acts, she can prove they knew about it and gave him the remote tech position with complete disregard then maybe she will have a chance. If he did have a prior conviction I have a feeling that would already be released by the media so it is probably his first conviction so not much she can do about that.
Good luck to her, the reality is the employer will be found not guilty and not responsible - the good thing is this person will have a jail term and a conviction record, so even if she looses the lawsuit she wins with that respect and IMO that is more important than some media-grabbing lawsuit headline. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+37From the video, it sounds like at least her sister and mother were also at the house. She wasn't alone.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+41Is anyone really surprised?
- skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36Because they jack it to hot customers? Why don't they put that in their slogan?
- Braingoo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+39I think we should all sue digg for letting him type those words into a comment box.
- nytechy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+39The girl sounds like a b*tch. I think i've seen her on bangbros.
- Paperclip1, on 10/12/2007, -10/+40It's not like it's the company's fault he did it, she should just be suing him; even if it was on company time yada yada yada. ***** people are so greedy.
- DonSlice, on 10/12/2007, -17/+46"I didn't want to see him making money off my sister..."
No, instead, YOU'LL be making money off HIM. ***** greedy *****. - impedance101, on 10/12/2007, -12/+41Video or it didn't happen.
- stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28I had a similar situation happen a while ago...this young (25-30) single women had accidentally deleted some "family" pictures from her laptop...well i offered to recover the data for her so she didn't have to pay between $200 and $1500 for a data recovery service...within about an hour i had recovered every deleted file (no not from the recycle bin, it was empty) and quickly scanned them to make sure they were of her and her family...well, lets just say they were her alright, i stopped looking at them, told her i found a bunch of pictures that looked like they were hers and told her i didn't go though them all, but that she needed to. I felt by saying that, it might help her to be less embarrassed. It worked, since i helped her with her computer a few times after that.
Not all male techs are creeps and perverts....most of us have a wife and kid at home and we are just trying to put food on the table....but as the saying goes...one bad apple spoils a bunch. - zeazzz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32Omg..they stole his memory chip from the Geek's phone..Arrest!!!
- Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34"Was she hot?"
We can only assume so based on the fact that she called Geek Squad. This meant that she had no "techie/nerdy" friends (bf or gf) - herrshuster, on 10/12/2007, -7/+331: break your computer
2: call the geek squad
3: ????
4. PROFIT!! - kutza, on 10/12/2007, -16/+40Did she seem like a moron to anyone else but me?
I mean come on, first she showers with the door unlocked around a stranger, she called her sister to remove a flash chip, and the way they talk you can tell there's not much there. - illflip, on 10/12/2007, -13/+36lighten up, take a joke
- Bleeblaow, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27Also, her mother is the one who was taking care of the Geek Squad stuff. Another reason for why you're a bunch of retarded *****. She didn't call over Geek Squad and take a shower like an attention-craving whore as you all so eloquently imply.
- frostieDude, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28To all the people who are saying "but the woman is stupid for taking a shower while a stranger is in the house". She hired Geek Squad! Of course she is stupid!
It doesn't excuse the behavior of the "geek".
Also, Best Buy will probably just have her arrested. They love arresting their customers. Best Buy sucks. - ram0135, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26@Mike89:
If I recall correctly, videotaping someone taking a shower without their consent would make them a criminal. Irregardless of what they're asking for as compensation, it's still a crime. - quoigonfishin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22"Nerds saw me naked! "
Julia Montgomery - Revenge of the Nerds - vhold, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25A lot more people coming to the defense of the Geek Squad guy then I would have imagined..
Does she still have the incriminating video? It kind of seems like she doesn't, otherwise you'd think the whole case would be revolving around it. - dknighton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Kind of makes you appreciate Comcast more. At least all they do is fall asleep on your couch.
