This guy dropped off a disk that had some clip art that he wanted on a sign. When I opened the disk to look at it I didn't know what he named the file. All the files were jpegs and had numbers, so I started looking at them to find the clip-art and found they were all of topless girls. I was wondering if this has ever happened before to anyone and what did you do?

That is going to be one VERY embarassed customer! I think I'd tell them they gave me the wrong disk and give it back to them. As long as the stuff on there isn't illegal I'd leave it at that.

awww, come on... live a little... make him a nice sign (or at least a proof) with his wife's (?) graphic embellishments in place of any clip-art. Just keep your best niave & ignorant expression on your face & watch the fun [Smile]

I may cause trouble, but I recall our mayor here telling a similar, quite a humorous story.
I'll let him tell it if he wants [Wink]

He'll probaly say something like "dern kids puttin that crap on my disc"

That has not happened to me before, but in my proffesional, (and highly regarded), opinion, I would copy the files.

You should hear the stories my little hacker computer tech guy tells me.

You think you've cleared everything off your harddrive?

Think again.

Checkers, I was on the phone with another 'head today and he told me about this thread. My 1st thought was about the McDonalds story Steve tells. [Smile]

I've never had this happen to me, but then again, topless girls do nothing for me. [Razz]

We had this happen once. But is wasn't the wrong disk. The logo info was there along with, let's say....some interesting pet care techniques.

So were they photos or line art? Quit being stingy man, pass that stuff around. [Smile]

I've had customers send me adult artwork before but they weren't the wrong files, they were sending it because everybody else they asked was too stuffy or had a hang-up about doing the artwork.
