He's a fun one.
Before smart-phones, my Dad used to work in a building next to an adult shop. From his desk he would see every customer who walked in.
He realized that there were people who would visit multiple times throughout the week, and leave without buying anything, sometimes with their workmates.
One day he decided to go in and check it out. The place had a "public viewing room". Basically a mini-cinema in a dark room.
People were coming in during their lunch breaks to bust a nut, then go back to work.
