In games or in life? There are so many skylights and other things that I've missed for years in a real life building and then one day I look up. On multiple occasions I'll ask the person I'm with if that skylight, chandelier, etc has always been there.

For games this one surprised me given just how many times I've stood right under it... https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3g6dh9/has...

A friend of mine used to be a rather... prolific graffiti artist and he once explained to me how, once he's up on a scaffold somewhere, he can basically do whatever he wants because nobody bothers to look up. So I'd say it's true in real life too.

Both!

Of course I don't walk around staring at the sky or anything, I'm sure I miss stuff all the time too. Always a 'whoa' moment when you do remember though.

I used to live smack-bang in the middle of the Red Light District in Amsterdam on the 3rd floor, and no one ever looked up. I guess if you put enough action street level it doesn’t cross their mind to consider looking up. Made for some great people watching.

I noticed that tourists and people new to the area are the only ones looking up. I sometimes force myself to look up, which helps me appreciate the beautiful city around me.
