Situation: I am facing a window and behind me is a coffee table.
Alternative situations: I have my left hand pressed on the window class, next to me is a chair on my left as I look outside for my taxi to arrive. I am standing in front of the coffee table as I stare out the window looking for my guest to arrive at the front door.
Question: Can I look out the window in front of me to see if it is raining from where I am standing?
