A few years ago I was at work and was looking up something and the page I landed on had ads that featured a barely dressed lady in them. The funny thing is that I didn’t even notice the ad until one of my coworkers, who was passing by my desk stopped, chuckled and asked me if I was looking at ladies on the computer during working hours lol.

I guess I had developed a kind of builtin ad filter into my brain, from ignoring so many ads over the years.

Thankfully, my place of work had reasonable people working there. But I think if I worked somewhere more strict even that one ad might have prompted a conversation with HR. Nonetheless, I promptly installed an ad-blocker on the browser in case any ads would be shown in the future that would have been more explicit than the one that had been showing this time.
