A step "closer" than just a discreet flyby, this strategy DOES involve actually stopping in to the home/establishment where you wish to unobtrusively check on the conditions/progress of something relating to you, but you still do not actually inquire about said situation; you merely "exchange pleasantries and make small talk" with the people there about the weather or whatever, and then quietly leave again after a minute or two. The theory here is that if there is any problem/delay/question regarding what you are wanting done, the people will likely tell/ask you about it while you're there... they know fully well why you've dropped by --- you are wondering how things are proceeding --- and so there should be no need to make anyone feel pressured or irritated by actually alluding to the subject.
The local garage is often "swamped up to their eyeballs" with the myriad of vehicles brought in for repair, and so it is often a month or more before they are able to get around to addressing a car that I bring in. They do always eventually repair my vehicle, though, so I seldom actually ask them about how soon they can get to it; I simply do a tentative flyby with a "Hello, Tower" every couple weeks, just in case they need to speak with me regarding any problem/holdup with the repairs.

Get the flyby with a "Hello, Tower"mug. A game played by girls where they climb up on each others backs and stack their butts up one on top of the tower. Usually requires 3-6 players.
Want to play booty tower? Yeah, but this time I want to go on top. Being on the bottom always hurts my back.

The saddest day in my life was when I found out my dad died in 9/11. He went down hitting the tower.

The objective of the game is be the first person to bounce your ping pong ball into the center cup which is achieved by bouncing your ping pong ball in the stack of 10 empty cups, removing one cup every time you make the ball in, then after making the final cup in your stack you compete to bounce the ball into the center drink. The loser of the game then has to drink the whole cup.

Get the Twin Towers Drinking Gamemug. The lady of the tower is a villainous fictional character. Her rise near the kingdom of Skylands, as her story tells, is that she lived in a tall tower that beheld all evil in the world. Soon enough, she manages to climb her way into the kingdom and becomes the tyrant that rules over all. Her conquests and destructions bring chaos to the world, and her fate is ultimately sealed and marked by sorrow as she's turned to stone by the god of justice. Her statue is said to be cursed, and anyone who touches it will be driven into madness. The lady of the tower is an interesting character as she begins from nothing and manages to gain everything just for it to be stripped away from her.
