This just popped into my head after a similar question came up with a coworker…

Back a few decades ago I worked in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. My office window looked out towards another building about 15 feet away, and for some reason our floors were about 8 feet higher than the other building. So we could look down into the offices across the way.

The person in the office I could see into had his desk set up so that his back was to the window and he faced his office door. This gave me and my coworkers a clear view of his computer screen over his shoulder. He played Microsoft solitaire constantly, except when somebody walked in. He would very quickly close it so he wouldn’t get caught.

My coworkers and I actually tried to figure out his phone number, but never did. We wanted to call him up and tell him he should have played the red 9 on the black 10…

    I saw a homeless woman grab a garden hose from the building next door, turn it on, strip down naked, and proceed to take a shower right there on the sidewalk. She then got dressed, went down the street, and got into an argument with an empty car that was parked.

    And it wasn’t through my window, but we also had a lady come inside our building looking to pay her electric bill. She was wearing a winter coat in the dead of summer. It was unzipped, and it was the only bit of clothing she was wearing.

    We are not the electric company, not that she would have been able to pay any bills with the gas station rewards card she had anyway.
