I tend to tune out at work with my ipod. I'm lucky enough to be able to be left alone to do with my work and do it with music. It makes the day go a lot quicker and allows me to listen to music while I'm at it.
Waiting in line
It depends how big the line is. I usually just check facebook, read messages or text or if it's a super busy line, ipod. My ipod really is my best friend.Riding in a car/public transportation/etc.
I carry my kindle everywhere. If I am on a train, that and the ipod comes out. It gives me something to do. Either that or I will write notes on my phone about chapters or things I need to add to my novel or write down novel ideas. I've lost track the amounts of time I've got inspired on public transport. Don't ask me why!
Waiting for your date (this can be anyone you are meeting) to arrive
Ipod and kindle. Really not much more to say on this. They are my lifelines sometimes.
At the airport waiting for your delayed flight to arrive
I hate to sound like a broken record but ipod or kindle and lots and lots of coffee. I get jittery before flying and delayed flights are the worst, especially if you have a connecting flight.
I also tend to cruise the shops, work on my laptop -because yes, I am one of those people who does take their laptop on holiday and do anything to waste time.
I tend to kill time much the same way you do- although I don't use a Kindle- I do always have a book with me to read. Waiting in line I check email, look at fb and text. I do the same in the car- and read, too. ipods, iphones and other gadgets sure do help me kill time when I am waiting. Unfortunately, I probably waste too much time on them when I am NOT waiting in line or waiting for someone!

I definitely waste too much time when I am not waiting on line with them but I am pushing myself to move away from those sort of things and concentrate on writing more.
