Maybe if you stay really quite no one will notice...

[Alyssia]

So I wanted to know if you've ever had a moment like this...
I'm currently in the basement and its like 1:15 in the morning for me...and my dad just noticed that I was still down here...not that I wanted to get noticed....the door was cracked and it totally gave me away

Either way this is the place to share your moments of I hope I don't get found out~

[neomattlac]

I often hope people don't find me early in the morning on the comp.

[ecco]

oh man, i used to get caught out playing on the computer in the middle of the night soooo often when i was younger... caused a toonnnn of tension between me and my dad, especially XD

buuuut being older now, there's worse things to fear getting caught out doing~ hehehe...

[Alyssia]

Even though I typically have to get up early, I still find myself going to bed at like 2:30 am because I spend my nights online and then the rest of the time goes to my DS, I can't find time in the day to play because of all the little things I have to do. I'd play the PSP...but my favorite game isn't one that I'd play at night.....>.> no its not

It bothers my mom when I'm online in the wee hours of the morning because she's got crazy good hearing...I remember one time she woke me up at 2am to go all the way down stairs and turn the faucet off in the bathroom that was in the foyer...I was so steamed, cause I had to get up extra early that morning. I don't know how she hears things like that, but she does.

Oh I wanted to throw this in, this thread isn't restricted to moments where you where online at a crazy time its just a general discussion about times where you were doing something and didn't want to get notices.

I've got another one to share.

I was over a friends house some time back and I had to get a birthday gift together for another one of our friends that was going to show up later. I showed up early to get started as quick as I could only to find out that the person that the gift was for had spent the night >.<

So I spent the day clamoring with another friend of mine taking turns putting the finishing touches on the cake, card, and gift...making sure that we weren't seen by her. We almost got caught a few times, in a few compromising positions as well. Luckily my friend knows how to think on her toes and is a very good actress.

I remember playing on the computer in my parents' den in the dark, just so I'd be less likely to be caught. I also used to minimize the taskbar (this was Windows 95, when this was still possible) and then claim, "Oh, I minimized the task bar so I could see more of the website, and I lost track of time!). Yeah, that was a flimsy excuse.

And now I live with my partner and I can stay up as late as I want! Huzzah!

[Alyssia]

lolz it seems like we're all staying up late or hopping online extra early~ I feel like such a night owl these days.

On topic though, this time I was the one trying to catch someone~

It was my friend, we had an online class together and when we finished early we typically could do whatever we liked there after. She's an amazingly crafty person and she'd kept asking me all sorts of questions dealing with my height, weight and if I knew my measurements.

I could answer about 75% of her questions.....and when she was done I couldn't really tell what she was up to...I wasn't the only person that she knew that was my size and I didn't want to assume anything either, so I set out with the snooping about to see what I could find out. I couldn't ask too many questions or my friends would get wise...I spent my time that week trying not got get caught by her or friends with my spying in her...as it turned out she was making a costume for cosplay a few months away. I turned out really lovely though!

[ecco]

haha wow, what a lovely surprise for a friend to make for you ^^

[Alyssia]

We thry to be sweet to each other when we're around...we don't often manage to get together because I move all the time~ But they're wonderful girls.

[evercharmer]

I used to do that all the time when I was younger. I had a computer in my room, so it's not like there was much my parents could do, but I still hid.

[Soleil]

I had the same situation when I was younger and living with my mom.
Would stay on the computer until very late, and she'd always wake up and yell down at me if she heard typing... eheheh.
Now I live alone though, so I can get on and stay on whenever and as late as I'd like. ^^

Also, as for things I've done and didn't want to get caught doing...
Err, when I lived with my ex-fiance and his mom, we had some REALLY close calls of her almost catching us while we were, umm... having fun... yeah, let's say that, haha. xD
And that wouldn't have been good because we weren't even allowed to sleep in the same bed (and didn't), so I mainly just stayed on the couch with him until I went to my own bed...
so if she caught us, we probably would've been kicked out. xD

[ravebloodnymph]

I remember when I was younger, I couldn't sleep, so I stayed up all night on my computer, writing and stuff, and I was trying out a song that I had written when my dad came it. Now, mind you, it was five o clock in the morning and he was an early riser. He looked at me and said, "What the hell are you doing?" And I meekly replied, "I...I pulled an all nighter??" He yelled at me to go to bed (at five in the morning??) and I did.

I slept for a half hour, got up, and then promptly fell asleep eating my omelette.

[Maeve]

I need to sleep too much to stay up all night. That, and even if I had a computer in my room when I was a kid, I didn't have internet on it, or much else to do anyway. I only got a wireless connection when I moved back at my parents' house four years ago, and then I was 18, so I didn't really need to hide XP

[lexi luthor]

Hmmm.... when I was in middle school, and we were in the computer lab I used to sneak onto websites we shouldn't be on. Nevertheless I never got caught XD
I used to do the whole, minimize the window when the teacher walks by to make it look like I am doing work.

[Chu]

The computer is in my room, so no one really notices/cares if I'm on at all hours of the night. I remember staying on Neopets all night when I was in middle school though, when the computer was in the living room. XD I'd have to quickly turn it off and jump in bed before my mom woke up at 8 AM.
