Hello everyone,

I came across this forum while searching for a construction community. I hope you can help me with my concern.

Today, a man with a strange device was on our property, but we hadn’t "ordered" him. He had a monitor/computer strapped to his chest and, as he was leaving, he was dragging this "thing" along the ground behind him.

Eine Person in leuchtender Warnweste schiebt eine Person im Rollstuhl auf dem Gehweg.


I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly what was being measured here.

Thank you very much in advance.

Why are you taking a photo instead of just asking him what he is doing?

That’s how I did it and got an answer. Otherwise, the gentleman wasn’t really in the mood for chatting.

What answer? And how do you know he wasn't in the mood for chatting?

He said: "Gas pipe." Then he turned around silently and continued.

Somehow, this is so typically German.

Clear, understandable, and informative.
In some other countries, the person might have said a whole bunch but maybe forgotten the reason they are there in the first place—

Well, my husband would have started a conversation with him, just small talk to break the ice, but he is not German either.
