Canadians form adulterers' privacy campaign

'Phone bills outed us too!'

Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime

The Canadian woman suing her mobile operator because her husband discovered her affair through her bill says she has gathered evidence from two fellow adulterers who were caught out the same way.

Gabriela Nagy, wearing a black wig and dark glasses, told journalists she had affidavits blaming Rogers for ruining marriages by the way it bundles itemised mobile charges with home phone and broadband bills.

"Their lives have taken a downfall, loss of jobs, marriages. Some are almost carbon copies of my story. Others have other privacy issues that were breached," she said, the Globe and Mail reports.

A total of about a dozen people had been in touch to sympathise and say their privacy had also been infringed by Rogers.

Nagy's husband left her in August 2007 after discovering her infidelity. She was fired from her job three months later and is now seeking CAN$600,000 in damages from Rogers.

Rogers said it was not responsible for Nagy's affair and that she and her husband had asked for their charges to be consolidated into a single bill. ®

SaaS data loss: The problem you didn’t know you had

Rogers

Rogers is an evil, bunch of scumbags, but I don't see how it's Rogers fault that she could not keep her pants on.

"Hello World, I'm an Idiot"

I'll skip past the FAIL of cheating on her husband, and move on to the more interesting ones.

* Not using a prepaid mobile to conduct her tawdry affair(s).

* Not considering the consequences of data consolidation

* Trying to blame someone else

* Putting herself before the public as a victim

* Wearing a wig when her full name is known.

In short, we have somebody who is self-centered, greedy, and deeply stupid.

Fed up with people blaming everyone but themselves

"she had affidavits blaming Rogers for ruining marriages" WTF?! Nice way to get out of accepting responsibility for her own fuck up. If anyone is dumb enough to use a phone on a consolidated bill (which they asked for!) to arrange illicit affairs, then they deserve getting screwed by their partner in divorce court.

I don't care if you are male or female - if you can't keep it in your trousers or your panties on, then you deserve everything you get/lose. Hope her (soon-to-be ex) husband gets everything and she gets nothing.
