SMS Snooping
Text message snoop? Study says beware
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Can't help checking your partner's text messages on the sly? You're not alone, with an Australian survey showing one in three mobile phone users are text message snoops, and the consequences can often be heart-breaking.
The online survey, conducted for telecoms service provider Virgin Mobile Australia, shows that women are more likely than men to check their partner's phone in secret.
It also revealed that 73 percent of these sneaky text checkers have found out things they later wished they hadn't, and 10 percent ended their relationship because of SMS snooping.
As far as I am concerned text messages are no different than email, diaries, etc. It's personal correspondance, and you don't go reading it unless the owner gives you explicit permission to do so.
People: what is wrong with them?
