I am a very naughty man - apparently

When I'm at work I have a laptop next to me. The screensaver pulls in photos from my collection. All well and good. However, the image below popped-up today, causing a degree of consternation from a colleague. I have been asked to ensure no similar images appear (as if I have hundreds), or to turn off the screensaver (fair enough). The word "offence" was not mentioned, more that it was sinister.

I took the photograph in a bunker museum near Arromanche. The expression itself is bad enough but the uniform and the context of the location made me 'LOL' - should it? Very Happy

Personally I don't find that pic offensive but the expression on the mannequin, in whatever context and wearing or not wearing any clothes, would scare the bejesus out of me Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Re: I am a very naughty man - apparently

Your colleague must be a bundle of laughs. Seems everyone has a right to be a joyless fun vacuum without any fear of challenge these days.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I got hauled in for " a quiet word " one day because, after the previous day had been one with much excrement hitting several air-recirculating devices, I'd commented (after resolving the incident, I'll add ) "lads ... good work today but remember it's only Censored IT ... nobody died"

Apparently this was crime because I didn't know whether someone within earshot might have suffered a bereavement and would have been offended. FFS.

As I've probably mentioned before, I got a talking to for wearing a Hong Kong Fooey T-Shirt on a dress-down Friday. Rayyyysssiisssst! I have an aunt who is Hong Kong Chinese and a couple of acquaintances from there - they couldn't understand it!

There’s nowt wrong with an interest in military history of all nationalities and eras, both uniforms and weapons Thumbs Up

But... to show Nazi era uniforms, completely out of context on a work PC, is only ever likely to cause offence and is unlikely to attract the kind of interest that most people would welcome.
