As a child, I loved my Nintendo DS. I was a child of a single mom and she had to take me with her on all her errands. All those activities–applying for Food Stamps, going grocery shopping, waiting at the doctors–seemed to drag on for multiple infinities. It felt like loitering.

So, thank God and Jesus that I had my Nintendo DS to entertain me during those trying times. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE LOITER JOINT THO:

Church. Granny took me to church every Sunday. I was a smarter-than-average-try-hard so the preacher let me sit in the back and work the AV equipment. This was especially awesome because I didn’t have to sit with my grandmother and sing (although I loved her with all my heart, RIP granny)–I could play Super Mario 64 DS in between queues of “How Great Thou Art” and “Our God Is An Awesome God”).

So, lemmy, what are YOUR favorite Loiter Joints TM?

    i would have to think about this more, as i was a fairly stay-at-home-kid-who-threw-temper-tantrums-when-asked-to-do-things-he-didn’t-like type. BUT, i do remember doing the classic “i have to go to the bathroom” with the Game Boy trick and sitting in the stall just playing games; so right now? bathroom stall, men’s restroom; my favorite loiter joint.
