OH! Finally I can use another word that I learned to respond to this stuff.

 

...waste time?! もったいない!

Oh, hope I don't sound rude here.

 

暇つぶし (himatsubushi) would be a synonym to this, and this is just based on my experience having spent many summers in Japan but people use himatsubushi more often than jikantsubushi.

Oh no, not at all!

 

I didn't know that. It's been duly noted! Thanks, Tsukuyomi-さん! ^-^
