one lady sent a picture to many other empolyees on their cell phone that was inapproiate and one person didn,t appreaciate the picture that was sent to her,so she went to the head manager about it and they fired the lady for sending such pictures to the employees.i don,t know about you but if you are in a relationship are married and your friend send you such pictures and her husband are boyfriend see it he are she will not appreaciate seeing this picture as matter of fact it could create problem for these mate.do your friend send you inapproiate pictures and texts on your cellphone.have any good stories to tell go ahead share them.

I personally have never received and pictures, but I get a lot of text messages from friends that some would deem inappropriate. I don't to much care just delete them. The only reason I really do not like them is just because it is like spam on my phone. Most people I know only send the "really" funny ones because they know I hate getting stuff like that.

Yes, and I have asked them not to. I have the lowest plan that the company have and I don't use hardly any of my minutes. I have mobile to mobile and I have to pay for text messages. So why should I pay for text messages and have all those unused minutes that I am constantly loosing each month. My daughter told me that I could request the texting on my phone to be turned off and that is what I did.

first i dont have a lot of friends. most people who sned me text messages are my cousins or my brothers or sisters. if other will text means then that will only be an important message. the story you are saying i think went over the top. if you dont like the picture you receive then why not text back the person who send that and say that you dont like receiving something like that. reporting at once to the head is i think not the proper way to handle this. i am sure the person who send that meant no harm.

well she was fired for sending that text message the other person went straight to the boss so she was not happy about what this person done.she had to be a closer enough friend to have her cellphone number.maybe she did not mean any harm but this woman didn,t appreaciate it at all.thank you for sharing

I'm glad my friends are responsible enough so I have not had such kind of bad experience. Besides, my cellphone is a very private matter. Only my family and my trust friends know my mobile. I don't usually give my phone number to people who are not close to me.

it,s not acceptable but it happens it,s on the new talking about our young teenager are recieving such messages.telling people it,s inappropiate for this to be happening.

well, i havent received any message or picture that offended me. I think it is just my tolerance on those kind of messages.
In any case, if I do, I will surely talk to the sender first. If it did not stop, that will be the time that I will act on it. I guess some people are just too insensitive about these things. They just can't tell what others may see as offensive and what nots.
Great discussion. Great day ahead!

Hi annjilena! No, I don't allow anyone to text me or send
anything to my cell phone! I only use my cell phone to make
calls when I am out or get calls if I'm out or in an
emergency! I have a landline phone at home and that is the
phone that I expect people to use who want to talk to me! I
am usually home and my friends know that they can reach me
at that number! If I do get things sent to me it is in emails
on my computer which no one has access to but me! And if it
is something that I don't want to see I delete it myself!

sounds good to me i also have a land phone so bill collectors do not call my cellphone.because if they do they will blow it up so i don,t give it to them lol.getting back to what we was discussing a lot of these surveys try to get your cellphone numer and e-mail so they can send things to your cellphone.

Yes, my friends sends me inappropriate pictures to my text sometimes but they always ask me first and let me know what the content is. Me and my boyfriend are very honest with each other and I will actually show him the text and he do not get upset because his friends sends him text like that too and he shows them to me and I do not have a problem with them. If this kind of stuff should not go on in a workplace anyway, that should be left for after work.

you are right there is a time and place for everything and the work place is not the place for that.

I had a friend who sent very inappropriate pictures of himself to me through email. He sort of warned me beforehand about them but i thought he was half kidding and agreed to let him send me his pics. Normally i share about stuff with my sister but this one experience i didn't tell her or show her the photos. I am no longer in touch with him, but it wasn't because of the photos.

My husband's friends and coworker send inappropriate things to him on his cell all the time. I don't think it's funny and I think they should be concerned that someone may receive them that takes offense. I worry that they could all be punished by their employer. People today take things for granted in this electronic age and do/see things they perhaps never would have prior to the world wide web.

The weirdest picture I've ever gotten was a picture of myself taken when I was out with my friends, except at the time I didn't realize it was my friend who took the picture that sent it to me because she got a new phone number. That totally creeped me out, I thought somebody was stalking me. But no, otherwise I have not received anything wholly inappropriate, thank goodness.

i normally don't get picture messages, but i sometimes do get inappropriate text messages from friends. i'm pretty sure most of the messages i receive might anger others (racist jokes), which is why i usually don't let others use of my phone.

racist jokes do they think that funny well it,s not and maybe you should speak up and let them know you don,t appreaciate this type of text message i bet they will not send anymore like this they will be forced to clean it up and give you the respect you deserve.
