I work as a computer operator in a small, two-person office. The computer that I use all day is the only one in the office that is hooked up to the Internet. My Internet history records indicate that when I leave the office for the evening, my boss is using the computer to visit pornographic web sites. I figure if this was being done on his own computer, it would be his business. But assuming the activity that accompanies his porn surfing, and his jizzy hands all over my mouse and keyboard is a bit unsettling when I sit down at my desk the next morning. The other day I even found one of his pubic hairs next to my box of tissues.
I'm not sure how I should deal with this. Bringing up the subject with him would be very awkward and difficult for me to do, and would likely create an uneasy and strange working environment/relationship between the two of us. And trying my best to ignore it would only mean he would continue his evening "ritual". Any ideas?

Sounds like a major problem.!!
Tell him you received a call from Date Line and they want to come to the office with their camera and interview the guy who is using the computer at night.
yeah... Date Line is starting a whole new series for the evening user.
Or You really need a second computer so you need to bring up how cheap and efficient a second computer would be....Then he could have access to his computer ALL DAY LONG....good luck.

So far in reviewing the responses you've received some good advice (and not so good) ... here's my take:
Your boss is abusing his position by using company property for personal unauthorized use. Such conduct I hope would get him terminated should his boss find out (I'm guessing he has someone he answers too). You could send an email to his boss telling him what you've expressed in your Yahoo question. And I'm not a lawyer but I don't think this is sexual harrassment because, from you've explained, he hasn't harrassed you though finding his pubic hairs is very tacky on his part. Plus he's being very careless by leaving the internet history full of evidence of his porn site visits. He just may be addicted to porn and has no problem visiting porn sites after work hours on the company's computer. Why he doesn't use his home computer is strange but he's crossed the line and chose to be a little daring. What he's doing is wrong and such activity should be reported (by you) ... Such action may get him terminated immediately.
Another possibility is to visit the main office of your company and let them know "in person". I'm guessing your office may be a satellite office of the company. If the main office is close perhaps you could take a day off and talk to the person in charge and let him/her know what's going on ... I'm sure they would want to know and hopefully be understanding and do the right thing.
I hope this advice helps.

Your boss sounds like a real pig!! You have got to get out of there and find a decent person to work for.....better yet start your own business. When the jerk asks why you are leaving.....tell him! I hope you keep a lot of that sanitizing gel in your desk.
If quitting is not an option for you, purchase your own laptop computer to use and take it home with you at the end of the day. Then you have control over who is using it and what they are using it for. It would certainly be worth the investment.

Does he do this every night? Is he supposed to be using your computer after you leave? This is difficult. Does he not have a home computer? Maybe you can suggest that he get one. Or tell him something maybe broke down with the computer and it wasn't a website you had used. He may just get embarrassed and stop doing it, you can make it seem like maybe someone got into the computer somehow, make it seem like you didn't think it was him.

You are putting yourself in harms way for a JOB......Think about it how bad do you want to stay.LEAVE! The people who are giving you advise are well meaning.However we don't know his physiological well being.No,confrontation is advisable, by a woman,unless she has a outside arbitrator accompanying her. I would advise not anyone from the current company.Often times one or more of the Good Ole Boys know of the deviant behavior and find it humorous.Maybe, they are even a good friend who may see you as temporary and expendable.You will need to have evidence.Consult a corporate business lawyer how to precede.He will give you advise on business protocol for unbecoming behavior.Good Luck!!

It seems such as you're somewhat mentally scuffling with this challenge. i understand how complicated it is to love a woman with each cellular on your physique, once you understand for a actuality that she is having intercourse with yet another guy. I had an previous lady chum who could try this, and the nights that I knew she replace into having intercourse with him, i could be so indignant, harm, embarrassed, and various different thoughts, mutually as on the comparable time i could be yearning for her return so i could desire to instruct to her how plenty I enjoyed her. i had to be the only she enjoyed along with her coronary heart. the actuality that yet another guy replace into ejaculating interior her looked beside the component. The poster above me is optimal whilst he says is she worth a 2nd possibility. Weigh the experts and cons. purely you would be sure.

I would put a user password on your puter and turn it off when you leave. Dude, that's sick. I don't know if I'd say anything to him just yet. That may be a highly embarassing situation that may ultimately cost you your job.

Hmmmmmmm....I wouldn't confront him, per se.
Try writing a witty little note and put it on the keyboard before you leave...something like, "As long as the porn isn't going to put my job in jeopardy, I don't mind, but please be respectful of my work space!"
