Yes, I do go on WP from public locations. Only on my laptop, but that is a matter of my accessibility software not being on public computers. I must say, I've not been onlin ein a really public place (school, work, etc.) in years since I am not involved with that, but I am currently accessing WP in the living room on my psych ward, because I use the Internet wire from the patient computer.

As for people seeing hwa tyou're doing, I do hate it when people look like they're obviously trying to see what I'm doing, even if they claim not to be looking at me (eg. when they are doing things that don't require Internet access on the patient computer). It just feel like they're invading my personal space/privacy. But I don't mind if someone sees what I'm doing by accident.
