Kind of like Senator McCain getting caught by a photographer playing a game on his smartphone during what was no doubt a boring Senate hearing or meeting! We all do things like that. It might be rude to look at your watch but it is less rude than saying what is really on your mind like, "What a boring effing meeting, can we just go back to work?!?"
