Embarassed about what my coworker might have seen on my laptop

He was having issues with his laptop so he came to me abruptly asking if he can borrow it for an hour. I don't have much to hide and I use IE for most of web browsing, but I browse personal websites such as this on it so I deleted the history just to be safe.
When I got it back, I noticed that he used Firefox on my machine (haven't used FF in the past two months at least) and I forgot to delete the history. I checked to see which websites are shown and one of them is a porn site. I am a little embarassed by this and I'm pretty sure he saw it. :|
 
I wouldn't worry about it, unless he starts Asking about your favorite scenes or Wanting to know if you have personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
Just come to terms with it. What is the big deal?

I went over to a friend's dorm room once, got on his PC, and there was porn all over his screen. It was hilarious, nothing to be ashamed of.

Who cares, he knows you are male and thus 100% likely to watch porn...
 
The OP is either trolling or forgot to tell us what kind of weird porn he watches (gay, tranny, bestiality, anime, etc).
 
Firefox keeps your web history for over two months? Who the heck borrows other people's laptop and checks which sites they visit? Lending your laptop to others is asking for trouble especially if you don't have a guest account. Chances are slim that someone who borrows a laptop is going to "out" you for watching porn unless it's say gay porn or something really shocking.
 
That's why my firefox automatically clears itself completely every time it shits down. Also weekly I use CCleaner to delete anything that might be leftover.

I think I'm good.
 
I once used TeamViewer (a remote desktop thingie, brilliant) to check out a problem in our product over some guy's computer. I just take control of the machine remotely, but he's seeing what I do at his end and we're on the phone to boot. Sure enough, I was treated to numerous files of Indian bondage porn scattered in various places on his machine (he's an Indian living in the US). I completely ignored it, he should not be embarrassed at being a player. And neither should you, OP.
 
I'm sure the co-worker isn't figuring, after seeing one porn link, that you're the sole viewer of internet porn. Surely half the internet doesn't exist only for you. Were there barnyard animals involved or something? I get the feeling we're missing out on an important detail.

Maybe he'll even have some recommendations for other porn sites of your liking.
 
depends if it's company property or not. either way, probably not a big deal unless the guy is going to report you. however when I find porn on a company laptop I just wonder WTF is this guy doing? Doesn't he have a personal computer? idiot....
