Recent studies have found that the vast majority of us have snooped on our buddies, boyfriends, and even our bosses online. But we wondered if our readers had the chutzpah to snoop on our friends and significant others analog-style: through good-old fashioned goin' through their stuff.We asked you if you've ever spied on your friends without the aid of a handy dandy computer, and the results were surprising. While everybody seems to have Googled a crush or two, it seems most of you would never peek in his medicine chest to check for anti-psychotic drugs or wart meds. Color us impressed! Check out more results of our survey below.
Lemondrop Ladies Are Model Guests
We asked if you'd ever snooped in the host's stuff at a party, and while 43% admitted to poking around once or twice, 47% of respondents said that they'd never invade anybody's privacy. Only 10% of you admitted to chronic snoopage. Alas, you are bigger women than we, guys.

This is a very interesting study I have to admit I have been nosy in the past and probly in the future but usually its all for a good cause. I cant ever say ive ever checked some one elses medicine cabinet for anything other than bandaids or cold medicine but i have looked up crushes on myspace and searched for relatives and all that stuff. But one day I was searching through my crushes dresser and found some pretty kinky undies and I ran around with them on a stick laughing and shes like omg!!! and started chasing me and when she tackled me to the ground I rolled us over and pinned her on the ground and just stared into her eyes and she stared into mine and thats how we had our first kiss. So snoopin had a good ending lol :)

Jay, while it seemys like you believe what you did is fairly harmless in your eyes, fact is you in the privacy of someone you admittedly care(d) about and in an agressive (NOT ASSERTIIVE) fashion. Hence: 1) With out even looking at your name I guessed you were a/ a male, b/a heterosuxual, c/ insecure, d/subconsciously feeling superior ultimately over your crush. 2) As is too often the case the relationship that ensued (which may/maynot still be) is based on a predicated assumtion that a/ NO MATTER what you did your behavior would not be dealt with in any way which was threatening, b/you counted on your ability to "pin" your crush probably based on a "WASP"ish notion of romance leading the way to rape/date rape and sexism.

Put marbles in medicine cabinent, hold the marbles in place with a piece of carboard, slide the carboard down, when the snoop opens the cabinet, eveyone will know.

I love your comment. I have never snooped. If I need an tylenal, I would ask. I don't want anyone snooping on me. I don't have a medicine cabinet in my common bathroom. I wish I had a cabinet to put marbles in.

I think you have every right to know whats in a persons medicin cabnet. If there crazy you have a right to know! I mean what if hes a sycko or something? I bet most people didnt even admit to it. There to imbarassed to say what they really do! Well! Ill say it and you can all pretend you dont do it when you know you have! Jesus doesnt like liars you know.

Ok. Heres whats up youknowyoudidit. NOBODY but the patient and doctor have a right to know if you are on anti psychotic medications unless it is part of a police investigation or if that person is doing a job that could be harmful or otherwise affect a person on anti psychotic drugs. As far as anything else goes it is nobody's damn business. Be it anti wart cream or whatever. Its none of your business. Get over it. You dont have to know every detail of a person's life. Its not THAT important and to think it is points out your own insecurities.

I am actually appalled at the number of people who would violate the trust of their host/hostess in that way. Clearly the NOW generation. "I want it ALL/I want it NOW. What is yours is mine if I feel like it. I have no boundaries, no self-control, and no manners."
If I need a bandaid or an aspirin or whatever, I ASK nicely. What is WRONG with you people?

As the daughter whose parents are/were in their late sixties and/or seventy
and until they became ill/hosp. or died, it was my DUTY to see that they had
the correct dosages of Meds and or proved to me that they were properly
taking them as directed: i.e. daily, which hour of day and/or knew how to
properly use Nitro or other important once in awhile does and how many
times was this allower: Dr's orders if they were not relieved - to call 911.
Many simple things we eat, drink, or meds for colds, sinus, stomach or
bowel upset, requires exact amounts & addresses how safe it is to take
more than once a day. Even if all looks good & parents profess they do
follow instructions & have methods to know they've done it right on given
day, check their weekly boxes/ question the 2nd partner and get the
"whole story" out - refer to Dr. to be informed about Parents' issues & meds-
SNOOPING? Not at all - Life Saver in loving parents & keeping "on track".
I've learned the hard way when mother had deadly blod clot -found out
she'd not even opened one bottle of new pills - ignored fact of HIGH MTS.
causing increasing BLood Pressure... ask lots of questions. be persistent.
VISIT IN PERSON - don't takeanything for granted.

I have never violated that trust. The only time I was ever in anyone elses medicine cabinet was if I was asked to do that by the owner.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you...
good advice. don't you think?

I've only snooped on one person in my life. It was a room mate in college. He was a great guy, athletic, ultra popular, super social, very coo, political and we always had more parties and girls around than we could handle. He had this amazing memory for names and people, he literally knew thousands on campus (big campus) and could remember all sorts of details but when it came to who he was, he was always evasive. He'd travelled alot, never had a job, always had money and over time it started to bug me. He was vague about where he grew up (Northern Calif) never talked about his parents, mother or father or his background, He only occasionally mentioned he had a sister who was much older. Somehow it started to bug me. I had to work or I was dead broke, didn't have the freedom he seemed to have and I was a local boy in the town where we went to school. He knew everything about me, my parents, my friends from grade school on, my siblings, where I went to school, who I'd dated and yet he was always sort of a mystery. It made me mad that he knew everything about me but in truth, I knew nothing about him. Like, where in the hell did he get his money, where the hell was he from, he knew everybody but did anyone know him? And I was his roomie, his best buddie, his wingman and I realized I barely knew him. So one day when he wasn't around I snooped his room. I didn't really find anything out except that his given first name on his passport was different from the name he used. Some people suggested he was a spy, I guess other people wondered about him too, he was sort of our international man of mystery. I still know him, and now have filled in some of the blanks, he was a trust funder off of a grandfather's inherited money (he lives simply so I guess he really didn't blow it all real quick) he finally got a job but he sort of burned out on being party central and so gave up the political bent. He's not so mysterious anymore, in fact he's become kind of mundane in comparison to me. He stayed in my old hometown and I went out into the world and really had an exciting life, still do. I'm kind of embarrassed that I went through his stuff, I'd never done anything like that before, never have since either. I don't know what it was, was it because he seemed to have it so free and easy, was it because he knew everything about me but was always vague about himself (still is) or maybe I was just freaking out because although we were great buddies, I had this feeling I didn't know him at all. It's not like he was in witness protection or anything, he was just not very forthcoming about where he was from, what his background was, why (good or bad) he was the way he was. I guess I just accept him as he is now

JT, I understand what you did. I love knowing the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say.

I think that most people are a little nosy and when they go through my medicine cabnet there's no medicine just makeup.I am on prozac and I need it in order to date and maintain a jail free lifestyle. I think that the world would be better if a few more people were medicated or heavily sedated. I think sometimes they should be passed it out with breakfast or lunch.

I agree with you here, if people were medicated every day and didnt know it, the world would be so much better! they should just add meds to the worlds water supply

Just like as if there is a child around, I never keep anything in there that would interest anybody. That eliminates any embarrasing moments because of their curiosity. I don't leave my billfold laying around either.
