If I am trapped in a situation where I am going to be bored for a while, such as having to sit in a waiting room, I have a mental exercise where I create a doomsday plan. Sometimes it will be a zombie apocalypse, but it could be nuclear war, a large natural disaster or even something more immediate like making an exit strategy if someone runs into the room with a shotgun.

I'm not a prepper or anything like @pembo, it's just a thing I've done for as long as I can remember. So yeah, what is your doomsday plan, whatever your chosen doomsday scenario may be?

Hard mode: it can't include the words "Winchester" or "pint".

Depends on the scenario.

Zombie apocalypse and massive war where enemy ground troops enter the continental US (that I don't feel compelled to fight for, for some reason; I likely would if things got that dire), prompts an exit to the most remote parts of Montana to live out the rest of my days with family and complete self-reliance for sustenance and the like. As long as we remain low-key, discovery is likely not an issue.

Nuclear war has a decent chance of me dying on the spot, since I live next to a great deal of oil production and refining in this country. If the enemy is thinking long-term, economic warfare, several spots relatively near me present viable targets. If I don't die in the blast, I expect to perish from radiation soon after.

Man with a shotgun in the house is simple enough - pull out my shotgun and don't suck. God bless the USA.

Solar panels, water collection from roof gutters into big water tank, an acre of land that can become gardening/food space, 2 ponds within a mile for fishing and bird hunting, and 1477 hours of porn.

I don't have it working just yet, but I think I can get it going by crossing HIV with cat and whale DNA.

Get to my parents sailing boat, live in peace and quiet on the sea while the plebs of this world battle with zombies and such.

grab my bike or else just run and get as far away from the city as i can as fast as i can. carry as light of a bag as possible while still having water and/or water filter, a couple basic tools (saw, hatchet, swiss army knife), one set of my warmest clothes, and my little chess board. people are pretty friendly around here so if they are still friendly, after a hundred miles or so i start looking for a farm i can work on for shelter and food. otherwise i make for the woods and hope for the best.

also, i always make note of exits when i enter rooms, particularly crowded places in case of fire or gunman. i don't mind being first to die but i'm not getting trampled to death or trapped.
