If You Promise To Quit Smoking, Make Sure The Google Street View Car Isn’t Driving Past [Image]

Sometimes one is caught so red-handed that it's not even worth protesting your innocence. This gent in the UK has Google to thank for catching him with his pants down.

We all have that one friend who is petrified of his missus. There he is, having himself a lekker time with the boys, when all of a sudden the phone rings and he goes a whiter shade of pale.

Sometimes, however, you really do owe your other half a big ‘ol apology. Take for example this man, 58-year-old Donald Ryding, who promised his wife that he was obeying his doctor’s orders and turning over a newer, healthier leaf. Below from the Telegraph:

Julie Ryding, from Leasowe, Merseyside, became suspicious over her husband’s doctor-enforced health drive when she found Hobnob wrappers in his car. After hearing the Street View car had been round, she checked their street – only to find her husband Donald, 58, smoking on the drive…

She added: “I couldn’t believe it – there was no denying it now we’d seen him smoking. When Street View first launched, they didn’t blur out faces, but there was no need to with him – he was covered by a cloud of smoke anyway.”

Whereas Google is usually the best way to catch someone out on those ‘facts’ they keep spouting, this time poor Donald never stood a chance. This is one embarrassment that even clearing your browser history can’t solve.
