Okay, I'm in rare form tonight. I wouldn't usually answar this way. So here it goes: fart. It would certainly break the silence.

I do hidden breathing techniques, that relax me, and give me the patience to wait until its over.

i crack a really bad joke so that i can laugh at myself....either that or i just openly admit that damnit, it's awkward....sometimes when you admit that its akward, people will feel more comfortable after youve just fessed up.

Just sit/stand still and look at people or things around you.

I just mind my own business and if it is feasible, then I would start up the conversation.
