When Denzel Michael heard his mum coming up the stairs while he was watching porn, his reaction was priceless.
When his laptop froze with a compromising image on the screen, he felt he had no choice but to smash that screen.
The London-based man's dramatic reaction presumably did stop his mum from seeing what he was up to on Pornhub, but it also resulted in a broken laptop.
His tweet, showing a picture of the destroyed screen with crying emojis, was retweeted more than 9,000 times (leading us to wonder whether his mum may have seen it and found out all the same).
We're not sure about the wisdom of Denzel's approach - as many people pointed out, he could have just closed the laptop.
But the story turns out to have a happy ending - Pornhub noticed his plight, and tweeted to him that it wanted to help out after the "recent tragedy".
Pornhub's tweeter Aria, "the girl with the best job in the world " tweeted to Denzel that the company has sent him a brand new laptop to replace the broken model.
Pornhub's vice president Corey Price told Unilad:
"We got wind of what happened to Denzel and his laptop over the last few days, and realize that this is a common, yet tragic modern day mis-FAP of the average Pornhub fan.
"It’s also a serious blow to everyone who enjoys the privacy of a good w*** within the security of their rooms.
"We appreciate Denzel’s loyalty, as well as his clear sense of judgment in picking our site as a digital destination for some adult oriented R&R. As a result, we would like to send him a brand new laptop alongside some awesome Pornhub swag to use for his continued pleasure."
