On the streetcar, at the bar, at the library, in the park, on my balcony, in bed (terrible habit, i lose needles and scissors amongst the sheets. so far i've found all of them, and none the hard way thank goodness). I stitch before class. I stitch when it gets slow at work. I've stitched on airplanes, during movies, at restaurants waiting for my meal to arrive.
