Guys: where do you carry your stuff?

[DaveC426913]

This is a list of things I carry with me at all times. I don't know how the rest of you guys manage, but I have to wear a pouch (man-purse, murse, second scrotum, fanny pack) or my pockets would be bulging (which I think looks ridiculous) and I would surely forget some things.

But pouches look pretty dorky too, even if they're black leather. How do the rest of you guys manage?


Drat! Forgot keys!

Dont really. Have pretty much everything I need in my wallet. Jeans pockets take care of everything else.

After consulting in some pretty rough areas, I learned to keep my wallet slim as can be, and keep it in a front pocket. Bills/change - front left with keys and a Fisher pen. Wallet, micro-leatherman and tractor key - front right. Only thing in a hip pocket is a comb. I don't care if somebody wants to boost that. If I need paper to jot something down, I can find a piece in my truck or use a bill. Good enough for a quick phone number/address. Cell phone is quite small and go in either front pocket and pocket-camera goes in a shirt pocket, if I've got it with me.

 

[nobahar]

why are people carrying pocket cameras? I'm guessing it's work related?
I have a backpack - mainly because I'm a student, but I also found myself taking it with me when I was doing non-student things. They are so useful and are not really an inconvenience.

 

[SpringCreek]

I carry a wallet in my right hip pocket but the cash goes in my left front pocket along with my house keys. Right front pocket has work keys, pen and folding knife. Left hip pocket has a small notebook.

Dump it in your girlfriend/wife's bag? At least I always need to carry my guy's stuff Including sandwiches, bottles of water and/or orange juice, perfume/deodorant, computer cables, ipad.

 

[arildno]

Actually, the title of this thread is "WHERE do you carry your stuff?", and the correct answer is "to the right" and NOT any of the alternatives you presented.

 

[jtbell]

Pants pockets: almost always my wallet, change-purse, and keys; sometimes a couple of tissues and/or my flash drive.

Shirt pocket: almost always one or two pens, sometimes a folded sheet of paper for notes. Never a notebook or shirt protector. Yes, I've ruined a few shirts because of leaky pens.

 

[Borek]

Add keys and a swiss knife. Although my wallet is quite small, just a place for a few credit cards and ID. It all fits pockets in my trousers. The only thing I have a problem with is my cell phone - when I am in a shirt with a pocket I put it there, but when I am in a t-shirt I have no good place. I can put it the left back pocket of trousers, but then it is pinching my *** when I sit in my car.

Or is "pinching" not the right word here?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I have two backpacks, one light duty, one heavy duty. The heavy duty one has an art and photography studio packed into it. It's the hugest backpack I and any of my friends have ever seen. The light duty one has a sketchpad, box of pencils, a textbook or two, and misc.

 

[Adyssa]

Wallet back pocket, keys front pocket. Anything else is just weighin' me down. I carry a bag for uni for my books, phone and maybe a jacket.

I refuse to carry a phone in my pocket, I hate the things.

 

[Evo]

Get one of those phone protectors that clips onto your waist/belt. I remember when I had to carry a pager for work I would clip it on my belt or purse, then when we switched to phones, I started buying purses with an outside phone pocket.

You guys just need to give up and get purses. Too many things to carry nowdays.

Theng kew. :!) You've made my day.

 

[cepheid]

Cell phone in front left jeans pocket
Wallet + keys in front right jeans pocket
Change in the little dedicated change pocket that jeans have.

It gets bulky, but for now, I'm living with this system. Can't think of better alternative.

 

[turbo]

I'm not carrying a purse. I have seen the blind panic when my wife has misplaced hers. Pockets only.

 

[fluidistic]

Only carry keys and money only when I plan on buying something.

 

[Astronuc]

What's a jump drive? Is that a USB flash drive? If so, then add that to the list, as well as a secure (token) number generator.

I carry a wallet in my back pocket (or front as necessary), keys in my right front, change (and sometimes banknotes) and electronics in my left front pocket, and pens/pencil/highlighter/various pieces of paper in my shirt pocket. When I carry my passport and other government issued ID, I carry those in my front pocket. In some places, I carry security ID badges on a lanyard.

Then I have lots stuff in the computer carrying bag that holds my two laptops/portables.

 

[S_Happens]

Not sure if it counts, but my cell phone is an 8 megapixel camera and with card and all has ~20 GB of storage space.

Always
Left front: Cell Phone and lip balm
Right front: My permanent keys, separate keys to whatever vehicle I happen to be driving
Right rear: Wallet

Sometimes
Right front: change if I somehow accumulate it, pocket knife
Left front: Receipts/lists

One thing I always liked about my former job was that it was commonplace to carry tools. I had a belt that always had a leatherman, wire cutters, 8" pipe wrench and radio. In my pockets were another knife, notepad, pen, sharpie, and teflon tape. It was absolutely necessary to have the radio and pipe wrench, but it just felt good carrying the other stuff and being prepared.

 

[Ben Niehoff]

Wallet and chapstick in left front pocket, phone and keys in right front pocket.

 

[DaveC426913]

...lip balm...

...chapstick...

Sorry, I thought I was clear, this thread was aimed at guys.

 

[Ben Niehoff]

Sorry, this thread was aimed at guys.

Says the "guy" who carries a purse...

 

[DaveC426913]

Well played. Well played.

 

[Ben Niehoff]

Or, what I meant to say is, in my left front pocket I carry a buzz-saw and two sticks of dynamite, and in my right front pocket I carry a live shark.

 

[S_Happens]

Damn. I thought it would be forgotten after the pipe wrench comment.

 

[OmCheeto]

Ha! I got 100% on the quiz.

 

[BobG]

Wallet, phone, swiss army knife, keys, and glasses.

 

[gravenewworld]

Keys, Cell phone, Wallet are all that's ever needed.

Keys- 1 car key, 1 house key, and maybe 1 other key needed for something else, that's it

Wallet--2 credit cards, small amount of cash, DL, 1 debit card.I really don't know why people have so much stuff in their wallet and pockets. Keys can even be taken out by getting one of those hooks that go around the belt loop that you see a lot of hipster bicyclists wearing.

 

[lisab]

Wallet, phone, swiss army knife, keys, and glasses.

When are they going to make a Swiss army knife that can make a phone call? It would mean one less thing.

 

[BobG]

Never happen. Can you imagine trying to saw the head off an eel with your Swiss army knife while calling your friend for advice on how to kill an eel mercifully?

Your face would be way to close to the sawing action.

Plus, just about every phone is also a camera. The friend you were calling for advice might not appreciate you accidentally snapping a close up photo of the scene and sending it to him in the middle of your phone call.

 

[rootX]

I carry my backpack to all places I go even bars So my course notes, pen pencil, keys, hot sauce, change etc are always with me. Mostly, I try to keep my phone in my pocket.
