What's in your pockets?

I have my PC plus loyalty card, a $10 bill, 1 toonie, 4 loonies, 1 quarter and 2 dimes.

Back pockets: wallet and handerkerchief

Front pockets: nothing

My wallet in one, my cell phone in another. Both in front pockets.

Keys, a used handkerchief, my wallet and one new pence.

tissues for my nose, fresh in the right side, used in the left side.

Wallet, tissues, change, cell phone, T.A.L.K. I Tactical knife by Ontario Knife.

Nat Sherman Hint cigarettes.

Loose driver license, credit cards and some cash: Thanks wallet thieving scum.

Cheap, ugly, non-refillable, non windproof disposable lighter: Thanks TSA scum.

If I’m sitting down at home, which I am now, nothing.

If I am out and about, I will usually have my cell phone in one pocket and my car keys in the other pocker (front pockets). I carry a giant purse that has almost anything else I could possibly use, if I was bugging out, or going on an extended camping trip.

The irony about my purse is the fact that it is actually a diaper bag (super convenient with zippered pouches and places for water bottles and hand sanitizer and gum) but I don’t have any kids.

@Kardamom , I’m always tempted by 9West diaper bags – they seem incredibly practical for hauling stuff around.

About to take the little dog for a walk, so I’m going to put keys in my pocket as well as a small pocket knife. There are tiny versions of several of my loyalty cards on the keychain. Leaving the money behind.

Can’t fit goddamn anything in my girl-pants pockets.

A love note, neatly folded & laced with cheap after shave lotion, passed to me in confidence by our gardener. The…ahem, “lucky”? recipient of this literary token of affection is none other than Carstairs our loyal butler. Apparently they have a thing going on…who da fuck knew?

Oh, my. A lot. Do you really want to know?

I wear 5-pocket jeans most of the time (really). Here’s a partial inventory:

Left front: pocket change; cellphone; tissues; a crumpled $1 bill.
Left rear: ticket stubs from plays and operas and concerts, for quick notes; folding pocket knife with 2½” blade; extra hair clips; a $20 bill.
Right rear: a few of those notes; a silver dollar.
Right front: pens; spare car keys; key to a portable safe, on a chain; LED flashlight.
Watch pocket; a few special coins; a piece of malachite; spare housekeys.

I carry a small purse on a shoulder strap when I go out. Part of the reason for distribution of weight among pockets is that anything heavier on my shoulder leads to pain. If I forget to empty my pockets before I get on the doctor’s scale, it makes two pounds’ worth of difference.

Right now nothing because I have my jammies on.
During the day I usually never put anything in my pockets because I always carry a purse.

I’m wearing lounge pants right now, so, nothing.

My jeans pockets usually have my phone, a handful of change, and probably my debit card (which I constantly forget to put back in my wallet)

@Jeruba Is it an Eisenhower silver dollar?

My quadrants.

Kleenex and a credit card. More in my coat pockets. Like a klepto Kender.

My wallet, loose change, and a small ziplock with Cottonelle wipes, in case I have to use a restroom away from home.
I’ve had to do this since having my gall bladder removed.

Tissues.

My coat pockets are my in box.

Right now? A tissue. I’m home for the night and wearing a pair of sweat shorts.

Butt, as to your link on cargo shorts? They are a revolution for men. The man-purse that carries itself.
Tradtionally I have keys and change in my right front pocket, billfold in right back pocket and (since the advent of) cell phone in left back pocket.
Those lumps on your ass are uncomfortable at best, dangerous at worst. They make your ass sore, your back hurt. They make you testes testy when a clerk suggests yet another card for your wallet.
Enter cargo shorts. Simply side-saddle the wallet and cell phone and your ass is, finally, blissfully, free to rest on it’s own two laurels.
I challenge a woman to carry the contents of her purse, comfortably, in her pants pockets.
What a bunch of trolls!
Bottom line? There are a hell of a lot of Americans that look better in…er…un-skinny clothes than look great in skinny clothes.

Wallet, keys, pocket knife.

@Hawaii_Jake, yes. I truly do have limits: I don’t carry the Morgans around in my pocket.

However, if I had a Mercury dime or a Walking Liberty half dollar, I might, just for the beauty of it.

Usually nothing. I can’t be trusted to remove everything before washing a garment. Plus, stuff in your pockets distorts your clothing. Not everything does, but if the items are heavy or bulky or both it will.

Once in a while I have money in my pocket, or ID and a credit card. That’s for when I leave my purse at home.

Not wearing any pants.

Should we start calling @Hawaii_Jake Bilbo?

“What have I got in my pocket?” he said aloud. He was talking to himself, but Gollum thought it was a riddle, and he was frightfully upset.
“Not fair! not fair!” he hissed. “It isn’t fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it’s got in it’s nassty little pocketsess?”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Balls, currently shooting pool in the games room

Ack! My apologies, it was in my mind that @Hawaii_Jake asked this question. It is @BellaB that is really Bilbo!

@zenvelo , you can call me BilboB :)

Have my bathing suit and leggings on now – so no pockets. Will be putting a coverup thing on soon to go to the pool – housekey with mini loyalty cards attached will go in a pocket.

Cellphone in right, car keys in left, ass in the back pockets.

The best thing about smart-keys is that I can put that key in my pocket, and let the rest hang out. So I only have one large key in the top of my front pocket.

What’s the point of skinny pants/jeans if you’re going to shove your smart phone in your front pockets? WTH? I’m not advocating camel toe or moose knuckle or anything, but isn’t the point of skinny jeans to have clean lines?

I looked for an image of someone wearing pants that look like they are painted on but for the fact that they have something approximately the size of a paperback dime novel in their front pocket. Guess what? The internet is so commercialized that I couldn’t find a single image. Yet I could drive to Walmart and snap a dozen.

And we wonder that Donald Trump is a presidential candidate.

Since I finally just read the article:

I have to laugh. My husband wears nothing but cargo shorts. He got started in the late 80s, buying cargo pants at the Army/Navy surplus store and cutting the bottom 8 inches or so off, and now he gets his (when he can find them in his size – damn kids and their saggy britches) at the local big box uber-store.

They’re comfortable to wear for work, don’t cut off his circulation (he has rather thick thighs for a dude. No chicken leg/frog-ass problems here.) and he can sneak a bottle of booze into a concert quite easily.

So, yeah, between the cargo shorts and the band t-shirts, he kinda dresses like a 15 year old boy. But who am I to complain? I’m in paint-splattered jeans and a Minecraft tee, so I’m dressed basically like a 12 year old boy.

And I have a box of matches in my back pocket. Because, y’know, reasons.

I don’t have any pockets, I am wearing a sun dress. haha
What’s in my purse is another matter entirely.

@BellaB In my let front pocket I carry lip balm.(gotta have it) In my right front pocket (all connected) are my keys which include keys for: car, post office box, front door, storage door and my emergency whistle. I have no back pockets.

@si3tech Your emergency whistle? lol

Three bladed buck knife; two flash drives; handfull of change including (for some reason) a 5 Koren coin from the Czeck Republic; green bandana; wallet keys are hung on the belt loop with a ‘biner and include a bottle opener from the Resignation Brewery BTW they are also cargo shorts.

Earlier it also included five checks and a deposit slip, a camera and a garage remote control.

@rojo You must have been a fun little boy. Are you sure there isn’t a frog or two and a fishing line in there as well?

With respect to cargo shorts, this summer my husband needed a new pair or two of shorts for hot weather but lagged on buying them, so I went shopping online for him. Most of what I could find in his size, and long enough for decency’s sake, was cargo shorts. I avoided them, but it really seemed like my choices were limited. So I settled for a pair of loose athletic shorts as an interim measure.

He then went online and bought himself…cargo shorts.

iPhone, car keys, a wallet that contains 20 dollars, a credit card, 2 library cards, an Uber gift card, an iTunes gift card, a Walmart receipt, and a Ghostbusters movie ticket.

I’m wearing yoga pants that have one of those little zipper pockets in the waistpand. Key with attached mini loyalty cards fits in there nicely.

Still laughing at @Jeruba‘s husband.

My dad is in his mid-80’s. He likes cargo-everything. Shorts/pants/vests/jackets. The more pockets, the better. In the past I’ve counted the pockets on his outfits. One pair of cargo pants and a fishing vest can easily add up to more than 20 pockets – makes him super happy.

@BellaB, so…what does he have in his pockets?

Usually a small tin of licorice tabs, some mints, handkerchief, dog snacks, keys, comb, tiny folded plastic bag or baggie, loose change, wallet (separate from change), medication, spare glasses, folding hat… When my dad leaves home, he seems to always be ready to go camping.

I’m definitely his daughter. When I’ve got my knapsack, I am THE go-to person at the dance studio.

My favourite device is a travel cutlery set from the National Trust a friend brought back from a trip. The knife/fork/spoon snug up together, with a small cover – that has salt and pepper shakers in the end. I love multi-purpose tools like that. It doesn’t fit in my yoga pant pocket but it’s fabulous.

A crumpled tissue.
I have on sweat shorts for lounging.

Thought of this question because I’ve been wearing my most entertaining yoga pants. They’re lululemons from Boutique V V – lovely red grape colour – and the zippered pocket is on the back of the left calf. Bright patch square. I carried my keys and a kleenex in there when I took Miss Bella for a walk this morning.
