Nothing at the moment, but later today I should be carrying around in various pockets I’ll be wearing: hankerchief, keys, chapstick, cellphone, pen &/or pencil.
I never can understand the attraction so many people have to stuffing their pockets. All you get is unsightly lumps and bulges, worn spots, and spinal problems.
Right now, I’ve got three coins in one front pocket and a thin wallet in the other front pocket. In the wallet is a drivers license, ATM card, train ticket, my health insurance ID card and an associated credit card for “health” purchases, a Costco card and three pieces of paper money. Just the bare essentials.
The part I really can’t understand is carrying around all of those grocery store cards. Almost all of them work off your phone number - if you can remember your phone number, you can punch that into the terminal and take one more thing out of your pocket.
Lint.
I love threads like this.
In my coat pockets (because I never carry anything in the pockets of my slacks):
Keys with huge freakin’ pewter keychains
A straw wrapper
American Spirit cigarettes
tampons
Green Bic lighter
ball point pen
Pink Razr cellphone
“Bad Motherfucker” leather wallet
Pretty boring, huh.
Handkerchief
Cell phone
Wallet containing:
$15
two store receipts
two guitar picks (Fender medium)

A friend’s business card, onto which I copied this quote from who knows where:
Since we’re counting coat pockets, I currently have a pair of mittens and a bus schedule also in my pockets.
And since I did some rearranging since my last post, I also have lipstick in my left front jeans pocket.
Wallet w/$21, credit cards, business cards, and all that sort of junk in it
keys
cell phone
Leatherman Micro
Gerber Truss folding knife
pen
Travelling light. Must be on vacation.
Whereas I have a 0.6 mm Dunlop plectrum in case someone hands me a guitar (which came into its own on New Year’s Eve during the band’s intermission - I got to do an impromptu half-hour set). I keep it in my “johnny pocket”.
Also, £9.21 in change.
That’s it for the trews, because, George Costanza-style, my wallet contains so much crap that I can’t fit it in my jeans anymore, and have to keep it in my coat. In it there is:
A bunch of receipts
My business cards
Business card of a useful contact I met at the NYE do
1 x Connect card
1 x Natwest retardo-account card
2 x Barclaycard (one work, one personal)
1 x Virgin Atlantic Amex
Tesco Clubcard
Nectar Card
Boots Advantage card
1 dry cleaner’s “priority club” loyalty card - which entitles me to have the same priority as any other customer
Another four 0.6 mm Dunlop plectra
Driving licence
Work security pass
Expired train tickets
EU-zone health card
A book of first-class stamps
Picture of the missus looking like Rei Hino from Sailor Moon
My coat also contains a lighter, a pack of Marlboro Gold, my new Blackberry, my old Sony Ericsson phone, and my keys.
I do too, for the most part. All I have in my pocket would be my housekeys. And maybe a lighter.

Nothing else. Maybe I’ll start a thread about what’s in your purse…
