Anyone ever tighten something with a wrench and then have their hand slip and accidentally punch something?

So, I'm thinking everyone in this RP understands that there are some scenes other players don't want spied on/uncovered without their permission, yes? I'm sure we can all agree to that.

Long answer:
I think it depends on primarily three things- where you decide to hold those scenes, who was all present in those scenes, how much effort is put into keeping the scene secret.
Example of poor secret keeping due to location- Having a secret meeting in house LaChance. Lucien has the ability to talk to his house (the building and objects, not the people) about what has happened there. If one has a secret thing there, and Lucien talks to his stool that was in the room, it's unlikely that it's going to be kept secret from him for long.
Example of poor secret keeping due to people present- Vonun initiate talking about Alucard's Army while Orlov's ghoul was nearby. If there's another character or npc present, they might learn about the secret. Then they can tell the secret to whoever they wish.
Example of poor secret keeping due to lack of effort- Talking about important secrets via a phone call in a public place when you know that someone has been spying on you recently, and are unwilling to communicate with someone else via phone call because you believe it would be intercepted. You're basically asking for the secret to be found out by someone at that point.
It's very rare that all three requirements will be met for any secret. Normally, that's fine and the secret doesn't get spread too far, but if one completely ignores one of those three things above it might be discovered real quick. We have quite a few characters who exist almost solely to be nosy, and keeping a secret for forever is going to be very difficult. That being said, there's almost always a delay between when the event occurs and when the nosy one learns about the secret. There is also a very real possibility that the secret can be misinterpreted. Also, it can be really difficult to prove the secret. And lastly, no one is omnipresent. Unless one completely ignores one of those things above, the spying would have to be a deliberate thing that a character does to the exact place or person spied on often.
(Potential bias: I am a supporter of in-character espionage. Disclaimer: I think that if one is going to do espionage, they need to be able to adequately describe precisely when and where they set up all the necessary parts for the espionage, have a reasonable way that other's can avoid the espionage if they think about it, have a reasonable acceptance for whatever consequences occur after being discovered, have a reasonable delay for when the nosy one is informed, and be open to misinterpreting the secret. Typically these things should be discussed with the person who will be/was spied on to better help the flow of the story.)
Short version:
So long as it's not blatant you'll be fine.

I was more driving at the whole, 'coming to an agreement before just discovering something' bit. Kind of like how you didn't want Vonun's secret basement to just be 'discovered' during Elysium. But hell, the whole place was open for the exploring and we're all monsters who care nothing about locked doors. We just didn't trod on it because you asked.
I'm just saying that if someone asks and they haven't just blurted whatever in the streets, that as players, we can agree on a secret being kept.
