![This is a QotW answer](/images/board_posticon.gif)
In my surveying days I used to work with a short arsed, prudish, yet perverted Italian bloke. Whilst staying away with him on a job in London we were staying in our regular hotel called the Euro, now this hotel has certain rooms (to the back of the hotel) that look out onto another block of high rises.
Now previous to my trip away with the short arsed Italian, he had stayed away in one of the back facing rooms before and had been treated to a couple getting down to business in one of the windows of the building opposite, being the little pervert that he is he quite happily sat there at the window watching as much of the free show as possible before the woman finally closed the curtains on him.
When the Italian and I arrived at our room for the week, said Italian produced one of the levellers (telescopic equipment used for levelling) and proceeded to set it up in the room facing the window where he had caught the action during his previous stay. He even levelled and focused the damn thing perfectly! We then went out to dinner and had a few drinks, but the whole time he was twitching and suggesting we should head back to the room to see if the couple he had caught last time might be at it, and so I eventually gave up trying to get drunk around London with him and headed back to the hotel where we were treated to a show of....fuck all. However this didn’t discourage the little pervert as he positioned himself behind the leveller checking all other windows in the vicinity for a good hour or so before he finally got bored and went to sleep.
That’s pretty much where that story ends, but I did learn something else about my Italian colleague during that week which is that before taking the first RO in the travis after setting up our equipment I always noticed that he would use the theodolite to check nearby buildings, I figured he was creating a landmark reference should the equipment be knocked and the travis could not be relied upon, but no, true to his nature that I observed in the hotel room he does in fact check every window in nearby buildings in the hope that he might catch somebody undressing or in the act.
