My wife was looking at me when I opened this.

“What are you grinning at?”

I just locked my phone and put it face down on the table…

Why would you do that xD - I'd have explained it to her instead, doing what you did I'm not sure I'd be happy about as wifey ...
You see, if he does that when it’s perfectly innocent, then his wife would be conditioned to ignore the behavior in the future. So when he’s truly up to no good at some point, he won’t be doing anything different than “normal”. The man is probably some kind of criminal mastermind.
Ha! Quite true, maybe poor attempt at humour stopping the story there.

I actually did explain after that ellipsis, her response:

“That’s niche!”

She is also well aware of what hashing is.
