Whenever we go out, my wife has to look for her keys. They could be anywhere - this handbag, that handbag, this coat, that coat, in the dish by the door, on the coffee table, ad nauseam, you name it. My keys are in the right side pocket of my jacket. End of. My set up is: left front trouser/jean pocket for keys and change Right front pocket for phone Back right pocket for wallet (if not wearing a jacket) Back left pocket free for miscellaneous paper items (train tickets, flyers until I reach the nearest bin, receipts etc) If any of those items aren't in my pocket, they're on the chest of drawers in my bedroom.

lapal_fan Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If I have anything in my back left arse pocket, I feel as though I'm being molested. It's that wrong. Right butt cheek only. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 3 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: Yeah I have a smaller wallet, I think it's known as a slip, to just hold a bank card, ID and some notes for when I'm going out. Saves carrying the slightly bulkier wallet around and reduces the risk of losing everything if I lose it in a drunken blunder (although, in my 31 years on this planet, I've yet to lose a phone, wallet or set of keys on a night out. Touch wood and all that) yep, just keep the essentials on you, much easier. Plus with keys, and phone, the pockets are quite full enough without a large wallet. @hogso - definitely with you on copper. There's a strong case for just getting rid of those denominations I think, and hell maybe even the 5p too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 All this will be obsolete soon anyway. Cash will be the first to go, then all cards. A few more years and all keys will be gone too. Then smart phones will be a thing of the past and we'll be walking around with the internet in our brains. But VT will still be here arguing about which part of our brain we should store things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean there are posters on here with more than one part to their brain? Do any of them post, because most of the regulars seem short on cells, let alone parts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2017 If you don't have a wallet, where do you keep your cards? I don't use an old-style banknote wallet, but a small card wallet is essential. I haven't counted lately, but I'd estimate I must have at least twenty cards in there - debit, credit (>1 bank), membership cards, loyalty cards, driving licence, organ donor card, blood donation card, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Stevo clearly taking no prisoners when to comes to wallet use. For me its phone in the right front trouser pocket, keys/lighters in the left Cards back right pocket and cash/change in the left. The last time i went out with a wallet i lost the bloody thing.
