We got all caught up on Queen Elizabeth and her crew. And who had gained a bunch of weight and/or had botched plastic surgery. And who was zoomin' who. -- I think that should be whom -- objective case pronoun, direct object of the verb. -- Oh well, anyway, my line had a good time. In fact, a nice woman behind me said she hoped the next time she got stuck in a line, it would be with me. I treasure that remark.

I do that too. They're a riot.
When it's slow on the golf course, I carry a camera and shoot pictures of birds and nature. I was corrected once and told I should either shoot pictures or play golf, not both.
If I know I'm going to be stuck for hours on the road or in a waiting room I have something downloaded, a book or podcast, to the phone that I will enjoy.
It just takes a little planning or creativity.
