Timepeeper: /time-peep-er/ Helen suspected that Tom, the manager, was a timpeeper when she saw him standing by the coffee machine watching every move she made and checking his watch to make sure her break wasn’t too long. He was always at the door in the morning with a creepy look on his face watching her take off her coat and he was there in the evening when she put her coat back on to go home. He was seen peeping over the top of her cubicle to make sure she wasn’t on Ebay instead of working and wasting company time. One day, however, he went too far and followed her to the ladies room to see that she didn’t take too long. He was caught on a surveilance video and her attorney had no problem filing a harassment suit. Etymology: play on timekeeper — peeper: voyeur (Peeping Tom) Created by: mrskellyscl.
