Silly old fool. All he had to do was make an "honest" mistake and walk into the women's side by "mistake".

An 88-year old man climbed a 2-meter high partition and perched himself on the top. Was he an ex circus performer? I could not do that and I am only 24 yrs old, but then I am only 154 cm high. But having said this, it was a disgusting act and one would have thought that, at that age, he might have lost his sexual motivations.

88 years old, 88! Can you believe it?
Well, I wonder if he has been a peeping Tom for a long time and never caught or has he got dementia or something.

Had a good belly laugh over his ridiculous excuse.

The woman who complained should be flattered that someone that old would go to the trouble of ensuring her building structure was safe.

Somebody should tell this 88 year old that there is this thing called the internet, and you can find things on it that can satisfy you.

safety first, this structural engineering inspector was visually checking the structures to make sure they are earthquake/typhoon proof and do not pose any danger to the naked people using the facility at any given time lol...

I am impressed by the fact a 88 year old man could even climb 2 meter partition but the fact he thought he could get away with saying he didn't do it to peep at naked ladies but to check the structure of the bath house of only the ladies just makes me laugh.
