I usually check on mine either in the car (obviously not while driving at the same time, haha) or in the restroom. I only take it out on the spot if I hear a beep.
Two years ago, on a road trip, we stopped at a fast-food place. I plopped my tamagotchi right onto the table just before hanging my jacket on the back of my chair and the waitress noticed it immediately. We had a great conversation and she told me that if she hadn't left hers home that day our tamas would have been friends.
I've had other past experiences as a child that weren't so great. I used to be obsessed with them when they first came out. I must have had at least 30 virtual pets (some tamas, some other ones) all hanging from a chain. People gave me weird looks all the time, especially in restaurants. And "Show-and-Tell" at school was a disaster.
I figure the people who make rude comments or weird faces and what-not are just jealous because unlike yourself, they don't have the guts to be who they really are in public, and would rather put on an act for the world.
But if one should require care when you're busy trying to impress someone important, like a boss, teacher, or even when meeting someone new who doesn't know you vey well yet, the following line works like a charm every time:
"Oh, this old thing? Ha, I've had it forever, my little cousin got me hooked on these things again! Remember them?"
Then next time you see them they'll say "Still hooked on those things?" and you can say "Yup, sure am!"Eventually, they'll get used to seeing you with one and it won't be an issue. But if this person chooses to make it an issue, well, it's their issue and not yours.
