Right, I was just wondering, what do people keep in their wallets? So far, pretty much everybody that I’ve talked to has something unique about em. Currently, I’ve got the regular stuff like receipts, id, mac card, etc. I’ve also got a list of “guy” movies to make my girlfriend watch (she’s got an opposing list of chick flicks for me), a rune pendant, and the joker card from a deck of playing cards. Anybody else got anything worth noting?
This is really more suited to IMHO, but I’ll pad the ol’ post count anyway:
Driver’s license
$80 cash
3 checks
Debit card
2 gas credit cards in my mom’s name
Blockbuster video card
College student ID
Social security and voter registration cards
Fishing license
I don’t hve any of the interesting stuff, 'cause I just got the new wallet and it hasn’t had time to fill up with useless stuf.
Here’s my list, i try to keep it minimal:
driver’s license
1 credit card
1 debit card
1 insurance card
1 library card
5 business cards (mine, for giving out)
picture of kid
$75
I had a lengthy debate with a coworker over these 2 items. so many people carry them around, but why? I use my voter card once every 4 years. And my social security card only when I change jobs. Is there really a need to carry these items around all the time?
If I didn’t, I’d forget where I put 'em.
Just my “move thread” button.
