Do you ever look at your watch and immediately forget the time, so you look again? And it still doesn't register, so you look again? And then someone asks you what time it is, and you actually have to look at your watch for the fourth time in one minute?

Hmm, not really. My guess is that if that's happening to you, time is the least of your concerns at the moment, you must be thinking of other things.
-
Yes. Yes. And, yes...
-
Thankfully I am not alone in this behavior ..yes that's me:(
-
No... I don't wear a watch...
-
Are you sure somebody hasn't removed the hands from your watch for a laugh? :o)
-
Yeah...only it's not with a watch...I'm always looking at the clock on the wall. :-)
-
Yes, I used to. I haven't worn a watch for years.
-
Yes and I think it's because it's so easy to look at it again that the brain doesn't really put much power into it.
-
Yes, although I don't wear a watch I sometimes pick up my phone to look at the time, put it back in my pocket having made no note of whatg the time was. I have forgotten it before I've even have a chance to register what it was :p
-
Yes, I do that all the time. But replace watch with cell phone, computer, or clock.
-
no, but that *could* have something to do with me not owning a watch...
-
All the time and it seems to always happen when I'm on the bus, and people give me some weird looks let me tell ya
-
Tali, this is a wacked question and could only come from your mind. ;) It's crazy but I do indeed do this. We are not alone! =D
-
I don't think I immediately forget the time, but its out of habit that I always look at my watch to tell someone the time, even though I saw it a second or two ago.
-
Omg that is so true and i only just realised! Thankyou for showing me something else about myself that i didn't even know about! (and it seems other people aswell!) I think it's because your thinking about something else aswell as looking at you watch like " How long have I got till ___" as well as " WOw he's fit, i wonder if he lives here.."
-
yes i do all the time (thought i had lost the plot) but thanksfully lots are in the same boat! i hate it when this happens but also often i look at the time, half an hour later i will be asked the time and i would say half 2 check and ill b right within a few minutes

Ok so here is the scoop on this. I am ALWAYS looking at my watch all the time like every 20 seconds or so. I once had a boss that always thought I was late for stuff cos I can never quit glancing at my watch. Ever. So I have people that say I am like the White Rabbit cos I am always looking at my watch. And a few that say I am like the Mad Hatter. That one had to do with a thermometer. Loooong story!! So ya but on average I look at my watch maybe 6 to 8 times a minute. Especially in Biology class cos.... well OBVIOUSLY that one I swear to God my watch ticks backwards. So then I gotta look again to be sure it isn't broken. During these times it's more like about 10 to 12 times a minute. So...... ya.
