Heather doesn't lock her computer when she walks away. Don't be like Heather.
It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked "Set as desktop background".
Happened to me previously several times. I find it crazy to even have this option in the context menu.
It's up there with "Send image as email" which I suspect like 5 people have used in the last 20 years
3 of them accidentally.
As I wrote that comment I wondered: "does Windows still have that option in the context menu?" I'm rarely on Windows so can't quickly check.
My memory says that it's even an option when right-clicking an image on the web. I decided to ignore that memory - surely that can't still be a thing! ...Right?
Edit: oh crap, it's actually an option on Firefox on Linux Mint. Damn, that's crazy. Then it's gotta be there on Windows too. Much easier to imagine it happening accidentally on the web than an image file on PC.
Just checked, it's there on Firefox on Windows, too. Also, Windows itself has a "Send To..." item on the right click menu for images, and one of the options in the submenu below that is "Mail Recipient". (Chrome has the possibly-even-more-useless "Generate QR code for this image" but I don't see an "e-mail this image" option in Chrome on Windows.)
Which almost makes it worst. I mean I get the last part. Why ever she right clicked, she took the wrong option, fine. But how did she even end up on an image like that at work? What did she research?
Heinz mustard pictures?
I was on the website of a mustard manufacturer ten minutes ago. I was digging through Heinz ketchup pack sizes this morning.
Some of us love a saucy life. Who are you to judge?
Ok, I did my own research and realized that Heinz Mustard is a thing. I was convinced that Heinz only produces Ketchup but I was wrong. Sorry. This assumption made me think this is a weird montage and it still looks weird and montaged to me but who am I to judge
They make pickle relish, and horseradish sauce too.
TIL
French's Ketchup is a thing too!
I don't know French's. Where I live, there is Heinz ketchup and Bautz'ner Senf
