That you know that you should keep an eye on it makes you unusual.
I suspect I am not that unusual in keeping track of Oyster
transactions. I see an awful lot of people paying attention to the
displays on bus ticket machines when they've tapped their Oyster Card.
I expect they're doing that for a reason rather than for fun.

To me that looks like people checking to see whether the silly thing
registered their card at all given how hard it is to distinguish the
bleeps from all the other noises coming from peoples' phones and over
the background noise of shouting chavs, screaming children, and honking
white van drivers.
