Lens Cap - do you walk around with it on or off?

I have a habit of putting it back on soon as I've taken a few pics, then walk along a bit then take it off again when I need to take a shot.

Just wondering what everyon else does tho?

I tend to leave mine off whilst the camera is out and put it on when the camera goes back in the bag If I am shooting then it is a pain removing it with the lens hood on.

I put leave mine on until I'm ready to take photo's, especially when I've got the dogs running round the property. It's so dusty at the moment I'd be forever cleaning the lens

On when not in use but if I'm out taking pics then it's off all the time so I don't miss that pic (although I usually do)
