Waiting at a hop out spot, sitting on the sidewalk when it's dead, hitchin...etc.
How do you pass the time?

I for one really enjoy bending my head down and scratching furiously at my scalp to see what kind of dandruff and dirt and random shit falls onto my pants.
Plus it feels good.

Reading books is always good. Making music too:applaud:

And playing bounce with my rubber ball.

Your turn :D

I like reading, going on walks, absorbing nature, people watching, "urban exploration", meditating, or sleeping.

make up new lyrics to nursery rhymes

she's a hoe, she's a hoe
it's of to work she goes
to suck and fuck and make a buck
she's a hoe, she's a hoe, she's a hoe

Above my feet, under the stars.
Reading and writing are always good. I usually carry at least one craft of some sort to keep my hands busy on the curb as well as in the car with a ride; how often do rides actually have interesting things to say? rarely. How often do they talk the whole time? almost always.

Sometimes if it's really dead I'll get mostly out of sight and see how long I can make a joint last without it going out; that's one of those games where no matter what you still win :)

If it's still really slow I'll sometimes meditate, either right there by the curb or off a ways into some nature.

Also, I usually have my ipod with me so I have that option as well, or at least when it's charged; for that reason though I usually use it as a last resort.

If you have a crafting skill, which I don't, its always good to have the supplies on hand.
Activity books are good. Reading.
Its easy as hell to walk into a movie theatre. As long as you are fairly clean any way. You stand out too much if you have a couple weeks of funk on you and smell like a camp fire. It will also get you out of the heat/cold for a few hours.

I've used laundromats to charge mine. Most of them are operated by one old lady that doesn't give a shit and won't bother you. I've also plugged shit in behind vending machines but that is a more risky option.
