peeping tom 1960
I have spent my entire life being told the term “Peeping Tom” carried both serious and negative connotations. Because of that, I instantly think of some dirt bag guy in the bushes taking a gander into an unsuspecting victim’s window. It is the reason I will never occupy an apartment/condo on the first floor or in direct line of sight with office buildings. Every so often, I even hear news coverage of police catching these curious fellows, which confirms their existence. Because of these thoughts, we as society have agreed that “peeping” is not a socially acceptable habit. Unfortunately, I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I may be a Peeping Tom or at least a virtual version.
