I don't quite know what to call it or how to describe it, but my bathroom has a three-way mirror. That is, there is one large mirror over the washbasin and vanity, and one angled mirror on each side (the angled mirrors are actually the covers of the doors of two small medicine cabinets). These mirrors were in every unit and original to the building. A lot of people do away with them when they renovate their bathrooms. I kept mine for just that reason: you can look at yourself in one of the angled mirrors and see your back in the other angled mirror.

I mostly use them to check that my tie is under my collar on the back of my neck. 

Three-way mirrors can give you background singers when you need them!

Not even by standing with your back to a big mirror and holding up a little mirror?

Wordle 1,596 4/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 SHIRT
🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ TALKY
⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 FLUTE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOTEL

Skill 86/99
Luck 47/99

OK, now the bot is getting ridiculous. It said "FLUTE was a good guess, but MOTEL would have been more efficient." Really, guessing the actual answer is more efficient? Good to know, I'll try to follow that strategy from now on.

Yes, it was an accident. 

I stepped out of the shower and dried off.  I turned and hung my towel on the towel rack, my back facing the mirror.  I can't remember why, but something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye, so I turned my neck and ended up looking towards the mirror.  The way my back was angled, I was able to see the bump.

You must be very limber, I'm not able to see my back in a mirror at all.

Not even by standing with your back to a big mirror and holding up a little mirror?

Of course, Chuck's description implies the discovery was more accidental than that.
