There will always be some incident when someone messes up your work and you have to do it all over again. How do you react in such situations? Do you lose your temper or do you act patiently and handle the whole situation with a mature attitude?
The interviewer is looking for a person who like doing his work with obviously the softer handle and gets the solutions of the problems with ease. Someone who doesn't create trouble if things get out of his hands is required here.
For answering this question you can take some situation from the past where someone did move a pin and you handled the situation with patience. What did you do in the end? How do you avoid this kind of situations?
Be positive in your response and don't show that you are an aggressive person. Also, avoid talking negative about people who do such things.

"As a surveyor we always come across situations where someone moves a pin or two. But we need to understand here that those people may not really be aware of how much work was done in putting those pins at their right place. So, instead of blaming them and shouting at them, I prefer to inform them that it was of high importance and was not to be moved and without wasting time I work on putting it at its right spot again. This saves a lot of time and energy and keeps the work place positive."
