When I worked in insurance we kept a running list of the crazy things we saw people doing in heavy traffic - like, putting on mascara, a driver keyboarding and talking on his headset, playing with the baby in the back seat, etc. This got me thinking about what we all do while stitching at the machine to fill out the time. I know some had said they run two machines, or knit or do hand sewing. If your computer is there, you could download, unpack files, read emails or chat here. I nearly always do my manicure and pedicure and lotion my hands and feet at the machine. And I play with matching up my fat quarters for future appliques. What else - with the caution that you should censor yourself in accord with the rules of this site. hehehe
