The short question is... are you a snoop?
If you have the opportunity to snoop on your significant other or children's private things, whether it be that shoebox in the closet, their computer, their diary, that nightside table, their cellphone or under their bed... do you?
What if it's someone you just started dating and you're left alone at their place with every opportunity to pilfer through their things.
Why or why not?
If you are a snoop... what are you looking for, or expecting or fearful to find?
Would your decision be affected if you were concerned that your significant other might be cheating on you, or that your child was potentially becoming sexually active or experimenting with drugs?
AND... if you do find something 'shocking'... do you call them on it?
Nooo, I'm definitely not a snoop. The reason being that in a lot of cases, ignorance is bliss. I don't need/want to know every little detail about someone else's life. Often a bit of mystery is a good thing.
If I was worried my partner was cheating on me or I thought one of my kids was doing drugs, I'd have to come straight out and ask. If I snooped for an answer, with my luck I'd end up jumping to the wrong conclusion!
I probably am, to a point. I'm always looking for some kind of illicit thrill. I can remember staying over at a friend's house when I was fourteen, and finding his parent's stash of porno tapes. I was sleeping in the den, on the couch. I popped the first tape in and must have masturbated five or six times before that tape was done. If I found something really embarrassing, I wouldn't use it for gain, nor would iI ever let the person know I found it. But it would be filed away in my teeny little brain, just for my own future reference.
I have never been a snooper... mainly because I am always the one getting snooped on and it really pisses me off. My ex used to go through my computer history, go into my cellphone and even follow me on occasion to see if I was really going where I said I was going. He would also occasionally go through my things. I have no idea why because I never cheated on him, nor did I give him any reason to think I was. As it turned out, HE was the one cheating on ME.. LOL
To be honest, that was the one occasion where I wish I HAD snooped...I might have figured things out way before I did with him... but hindsight is always 20/20 etc.
Typically I don't want to know about something, if I can't call them on it. It would really bother me if I found something slightly incriminating and then had to let it fester in my mind (my mind will work out all kinds of overly dramatic 'what if's' too).
Nah. I hate snoopers lol. I grew up in a family of snoopers, so I never really had any privacy. For that reason I value privacy a lot and would never invade it. I won't say it hasn't ever crossed my mind, but I'd never act on it. For someone to snoop, especially someone close to me, would be like the ultimate sin. I'd find it easier to forgive a cheater than a snooper.

I try not to snoop. It's way to easy to misinterpret something you find and making a fight out of nothing.
I want to snoop but without permission I wont.
And it's more a curiosity thing and not put to one person only but for everyone.
Espescially friends.
I think I don't snoop without permission since when I've been snooping around I've found things I shouldn't have seen and wish I hadn't.
I often offer to rearrange drawers and bookshelfs. I love going through other peoples stuff.
I am not a snoop - at all. I believe if you going looking for something, you'll be disappointed - either you found nothing, or omg - you didn't expect that!!!
I'd be upset if someone snooped on me.
Mind you, I rarely have anything to hide, except Christmas or birthday presents!

Well yes and no. When the girls were in their early teens, you better believe I snooped. Now that they are 18 and away a college, we either taught them what they need to know to have a good life or we did not. Yes some of their mail still comes to the house and we tell them "You've Got Mail" before we open it.
I could hardly expect them to not be sexually active in their teens, just wanted to be sure they were protecting themselves from both pregnancy and disease. May be Ms Soccer Mom could, but not a woman with my history.
Catching you partner cheating. You mean like business fraud or tax cheat? Kids of Lush would you really want to know if your significant other was pleasuring some one else? Why would you want to take one of lifes great pleasure away from him/her?
Are we still confused my Sex and Love?
Oh, yes. I am my mother's daughter and she was a dreadful snoop

I wish I had been a snoop when I was still married, perhaps then I could have gotten some idea what was going on in his life that ultimately blew us apart.
Not really. I'm very curious about a lot of things, but I respect others' privacy.
