[NSFW] Do you have someone designated to clean up what's left when you go?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) January 3rd, 2014

Papers, personal effects, all that’s left behind. Have you made arrangements to have someone clean up what’s left when you breathe your last? Who did you choose to handle it?

If the clean up doesn’t involve any items, media, toys etc. that are X rated, jump to the SFW version of this question.

@ragingloli – that should clear out more than just your personal effects!

Nope, no one.

There is a question on OKCupid about “would your heirs find anything embarrassing going through your personal effects?” I’ve answered it as “sort of”; all I have to think about in that way are some condoms, lube, some nice oils, and some erotic literature. But nothing too outre, no pictures sent or received.

Not really, it doesn’t really matter. I am not secretive alive. I find there is nothing to be ashamed of in what I have done.

hearkat's avatar

No. I’m like @Simone_De_Beauvoir, I don’t do anything that I consider shameful or keep hidden or secret.

@ragingloli That bad, heh? Or is it that you don’t want the tentacle monster to frolic with others when you’re gone?

@SomeoneElse Yes, it might leave a worse impression than a collection of toys and porn would do.

@zenvelo Nothing our politicians haven’t gotten reelected after getting caught at, I take it.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir & @hearkat That’s how I look at it. Those close enough to me to take on the task already know what a roué I am.

Just a failsafe for when I go to Washington to assassinate your president.

@ragingloli Having posted that in an Internet forum, I wouldn’t suggest getting a visa for travel to Washington DC any time soon. You are officially on the NSA’s radar.

Nah, what the fuck am I going to be embarrassed about? I’m dead.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir While I agree there are still things one generally doesn’t discuss with everyone, fetishes and such. Everyone has them, nothing to be ashamed of but you still don’t generally discuss your kink with parents.

ETpro's avatar

@uberbatman True. For those embarrassing fetishes, keep your cards close to your vest. Don’t leave telltale tracks to be understood and erased after you are departed. I realize that I won’t care what people think when I am gone, but I do care what I leave them thinking. Cleaning up a departed friend or loved-one’s affairs is thankless enough work without social stigma being part of it.

I sort of figure whoever does it will be more amused than judgemental. Sort of, “Didn’t know she still had it in ‘er (pun intended)”.
I don’t get embarrassed when people learn of any of my private thoughts, deeds, only offended they’d gone snooping. Once I’m gone, they are welcome to amuse themselves however. When I go, I hope my daughter doesn’t sort anything, just have an open house rummage sale. Everyone can pay $5 to come in and look around, and make an offer if they see somthing they want.

@Jonesn4burgers Great answer.

What would you bet that those who express the most moral outrage publicly immediately go home wank over how hot seeing your collection got them?

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

You know…... I think I need more stuf! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ETpro's avatar

@Jonesn4burgers That’s the spirit!

Self edit. Wrong thread.

Haleth's avatar

No, but maybe I should have a friend delete my internet history. Or I’ll just tape a note to the top of my computer: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”

ETpro's avatar

@Haleth I hear you there. Love Chrome’s Incognito Browsing Window.

El_Cadejo's avatar

Eh I ditched sites long ago when I realized I could just dl much better torrents :P

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@uberbatman My parents have zero internet or tech literacy. And everything else, I hope they find it, let them think whatever they want.

Haleth's avatar

@ETpro Ha. I bet there’s a whole department at google just for tracking people’s incognito browsing, and another at the NSA for the same thing.

ETpro's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Lord, lady, don’t live a life that lets your parents survive you. I’ve been a dad who did.

@Haleth I KNOW Google tracks it. The NSA will soon get bored with what I look for, unless they are secretly diddling themselves in their cubicles.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@ETpro Dad’s dead. Mom might live past me out of spite.

@ETpro
If you ever decide to become a public figure trying to oppose the system in a substantial way, they will use every bit of dirt they have collected about you, porn habits and all, to discredit you.

ETpro's avatar

@ragingloli I already know what skeletons are buried in my closet. There is a vanishingly small probability I will ever decide to run for political office.
