From the Mouth of Pegs
After admitting that she had read several of my personal e-mails on my blackberry:
Pegs (defensively): But I wasn't snooping.
Me: You read my e-mails without my permission. How is that not snooping?
Pegs: Because I told you that I did it.
Me: Yeah, after the fact.
Pegs: But that's not snooping.
Me: What?
Pegs: If I read your e-mails and then told you that I did it afterwards, it's not snooping.
Me: Oh, so if you had read my e-mails but didn't tell me about it afterwards, then it would be snooping?
Me: Oh, so if you had read my e-mails but didn't tell me about it afterwards, then it would be snooping?
Pegs: No, if I had read them without telling you about it, you wouldn't know I had done it so it wouldn't count either. It's only snooping if you catch me doing it .... and then I don't tell you what I'm doing right away.

Ok, "admitting" makes it sound like I got caught. It doesn't count when I mention to you that I saw an email on your blackberry as I was carrying it out of the room at your request.
anything juicy?
can pegs submit this new "definition" of snooping to websters or something, b/c I'm still a little confused on the requirements of the word.
It's not a new definition. It's THE definition. If you are "caught" doing it, then it's snooping. If you do it and then tell the snoopee about it, then it's not snooping. If the snoopee walks in on you and you tell them what you are doing, then it's not snooping. It's not complicated. These are the internationally recognized snooping rules. And in my defense, I ALWAYS look at Lee's blackberry. He leaves it lying around and if I'm bored I pick it up and look at it. The real question is, why is he so paranoid about it? Huh, Lee? Why? Why?
Oh and if I have Yahoo open on the computer he reads my email. It's the same thing.
