A2347986 - How To Look At Your Watch Without Anyone Noticing
Methos (one half of the HHH Management) Posted Feb 28, 2004
Great entry!
I spend the last semester at university trying to find a method to look at a watch behind me on the wall. Didn't really work. The bit with the turning around is a bit too obvious. You can only try to time it perfectly so the the professor looks down at his notes the moment you turn.
Oh, and what about mobile phones? You could have them tell you the time by setting an alarm and the phone on vibrate so that it won't ring.

Laying your watch down on the table also works with an ordinary wristwatch as a matter of fact 
I personally favour the method of looking at your neighbour's watch. If he or she is taking notes, you can always pretend to be looking at them because something the speaker said has eluded you.

And of course, if there's a chiming church/town hall clock outside the building, that helps a lot. Except when you're counting up to 11 or 12 'gongs' and somebody asks you a crucial question

Wearing a T shirt or short sleved shirt is useful for that..

There is another way! Simply reach into your pocket, produce a handerchief or tissue, and blow your nose. Both wrists will be easily in view while you do this.
Great topic, BTW. However, the link to "insubordinate reading" might be taken out (unless there's an edited version), as edited entries aren't supposed to link to unedited entries.
Other than that, I for one think this is ready to go!
