    I have a dream...

    ...that one day I will not have so much shit in my pockets. I carry:

    • cell phone


    wallet with:
    • cash
    • driver's license
    • student ID
    • insurance card
    • EB Games membership card
    • Best Buy membership card
    • gas station rewards card


    and my keys:
    • to my house
    • girlfriend's house
    • back door
    • mailbox
    • car key
    • car remote unlock
    • tiny flashlight (comes in handy a lot)


    By the end of the day my pants are sagging when they were almost hard to put on when I got them out of the dryer that morning. Are we technologically enough advanced to put all this shit into one thing?

    Re: I have a dream...

    One card that can hold everything would be pretty neat. Imagine having all your memberships, bonus, credit cards all on one card? Would be completely buggered if it was lost though.

    Moblie phones are getting smaller and smaller as time goes on. A thin, flexible one will be out eventually.

    As for keys? You're on your own.

    I think it's very possible. Think of a slender phone model (much like the current ones on the market), with a scannable backside that acted as a credit card. Do away with cash (almost everyone takes credit card/debit cards now in the US). The scanner could also work as a door lock or car lock (although I see that being an issue already).

    Re: I have a dream...

    I feel like reducing all doors to activation by key cards would be a step towards being more secure in all ways, maybe having one key card that you can be given access to other doors by scanning them would eliminate keys all together. I think that credit and debit cards already eliminate the need to carry cash around but there are still things that you want to have cash for. But like Unknown Entity said, if you lose that card you're pretty much screwed

    Re: I have a dream...

    Used to carry around a cell, mp3 player, DS, wallet, and keys in a pair of jeans. That was terrible. The iPhone helped so much... and so did cleaning out my wallet.

    We need fingerprint recognition in place of keys and cards.

    Re: I have a dream...

    I must be from the future, because I literally carry nothing around in my pockets. I put everything I need in my European carry-all.

    People shouldn't have to carry physical money around anymore, because make-believe money activated through credit is becoming all the rage. Plus that way, the government can see what you buy, which is a problem for me, because I buy a lot of crystal meth.

    As for cell phones, soon everybody will systematically realize how gay they actually are, and discontinue all use.

    Re: I have a dream...

    There's an iPhone case on the apple store that doubles as a wallet/card holder if you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS which could bring it down to phone/wallet and keys. If you only carried building keys you could do what what of my old bosses did and install card keys on all doors - one card, access to all.

    So yeah, phone case with card/cash compartments, key being one of the cards in the card compartment. OOOOOOOOOR you could invest in a belt, awesome devices.

    Re: I have a dream...

    You certainly carry a lot of shit with you, and yes, it would be neat to combine all that into one "thingy".

    I myself don't have such problem, when going on college I always have a bag with me so if I have any additional "weight" it goes there, but usually I only care essentials, cash, mobile and my ID Card.

    Re: I have a dream...

    What if any of those proposed super devices get stolen? You're out a shit ton of money and/or ****ed.

    I carry a fair amount of shit with me, but I also have another incredible device to help make sure my pants don't fall down. It's not even an anti gravity device either... it's just a belt.

    But yeah, I ALWAYS have the following with me:

    -Carabiner with my 4 house keys, 2 car keys and maybe 10 of those reward/ savings tags from stores.
    -Wallet with a fair amount of shit in it.
    -Phone

    I'll take my ipod with me if I'm going on a long drive or on the train. That's about it.

    Belts are a ridiculous concept. And jeans are too stretchy after you've worn them a couple hours.

    And at least my iphone counts as my ipod, I love dual purpose shit.

    I stream Bloodborne, FFXIV, and occasionally other games.

    Says the guy who carries a purse?

    I actually carry quite a bit of stuff, too. Let's see.

    Left front pocket:
    Cell phone
    Cigarette pack and lighter (if I'm carrying them at all)

    Right front pocket:
    Chapstick
    Keys:
    Apartment building key
    Apartment inner door key
    Apartment outer door key
    Garage door key
    Mailbox key
    Truck key
    Truck remote
    "Class of 2003" keychain with little carabiner (present from sister)
    "Impact Rewards" keytag (very rarely used anymore)
    County Market "Preferred Perks" keytag

    Right rear pocket (wallet):
    -Left side:
    One dogtag
    Fishing license
    Military drivers' license
    Year-old set of military orders (taking out)
    Post-it note with bank info
    Padlock key
    -Large pocket:
    Cash
    -Large rear pocket:
    $2 bill (present from grandfather)
    -Center section:
    Picture of niece
    College ID
    VA ID
    Drivers' License
    Military ID
    -Right side:
    Sam's Club card
    Coupon for $10 off a meal at a local restaurant from last Father's Day
    QDoba card (never even activated)
    Gamestop card (never used)
    Bank card (like a business card) with bank info for different account
    Papa John's card (one more pick-up and I get a free pizza)
    Burracho's card (never used)
    Membership card to gun range
    Old half-broken debit card (taking out)
    New, functional debit card
    Debit card from old account (taking out)
    Business card for VA psychiatrist
    Business card for retired Marine friend who helps people with PTSD
    Tiny scrap of paper with name and number of somebody with land for sale last year (taking out)
    Certificate of Completion for Army Accident Avoidance Course
    Soldiers' Code / Warrior Ethos card (seven years old)
    Soldiers' Creed / Warrior Ethos card (probably about five years old)

    Yeah ... I'm alright with that. My wallet is a little thick, but less than an inch. It'd be thinner if it wasn't a tri-fold, but I haven't bought a wallet in probably six or eight years. Maybe it's about time for a new one.

    Re: I have a dream...

    The best present day solution that doesn't require buying anything else is wearing a jacket that has pockets (though I think most do anyway). Jacket pockets are a good place to put a phone or spare things that do work so well in pants. Plus if you put anything heavy like keys or a wallet the jacket won't drag down like pants do. It all works out.

    Re: I have a dream...

    Let's see, there's my....


    Wallet
    -Driver's License
    -School ID
    -4 credit cards
    -Debit Card
    -Various other cards
    -Little cash

    Key Chain Carabiner
    -Car key
    -Car valet key on detachable chain (used to start engine in winter to preheat car while keeping main key free to lock/unlock door manually)
    -House key
    -Shed key
    -Side gate key
    -16gb flash drive

    Cell phone
    -It's... a cell phone

    and... that's all I typically carry with me everywhere. Every time I walk out the door I tap my right buttcheek (checking for wallet) tap my right front belt loop (checking for keys) and my right leg (checking for phone) before heading out the door.

    I carry my little 10" Asus EeePC 1000he netbook around with me whenever I take my backpack somewhere, which is typically just class.

    Re: I have a dream...

    Alright, I'm doing the autopsy on my wallet. TONS of shit I don't need... and the very reason my back kills me on long drives.

    It's a 3 fold wallet.

    Main pocket:
    Nothing. Cash is for suckas.

    Left fold:
    Debit card
    Credit card
    Metrocard (subway/ bus card)
    2 college ID's (fun conversation starter for before/ after beer pics)

    Center fold:
    Best buy rewards card
    Costco card
    PBA card and car registration (folded the registration over the card, so I can pull the card out and usually get out of trouble if I'm pulled over)

    Random center flap:
    Drivers Licence
    Emergency credit card
    Dave & Busters game card

    Right fold:
    Lids card (discounts on hats yo)
    Library card
    Blockbuster card
    Lucky shot card from mini golf 5 years ago. Random, but I'm superstitious about little dumb things.

    My wallet's about an inch thick, and used to be about as bad as the George Costanza wallet.

    Lighter
    Change
    Cell Phone (if I am not in a work shirt with a breast pocket)
    safety glasses (hanging off of)

    Front Right:

    Secondary set of keys (car ignition, trunk and doors and a few mics (3))
    Work keys (2 for the tool box, one for the locked cabinent, one for special access areas)
    Sharpies (extrafine point blue and red)
    Bleedy ball point pen (One blue and one black)
    What ever kids toys my son sneeks into it

    Back left:
    Money for the week

    more receipts

    Breast pocket of shirt (if applicable):
    Cell phone
    Ibeprophen

    Also I am bad about shoving tools into my pockets while at work. Sometimes I empty them and find random crap that I forgot was there at the end of the day hahaha.

    Re: I have a dream...

    I had a customer who carried their store keytags around in their phone via some sort of barcode app. Handy.

    I don't generally carry anything in my pockets. I do always have my keys with me though, on a carabiner I clip to my pants. It's got my house keys, my car keys and my employee keytag.

    I carry everything else in my purse unless I'm going somewhere where it makes more sense to keep everything necessary in my pockets. Then I just have my wallet. Inside said wallet is my license, my debit card, my two credit cards, occasionally random amounts of cash and coins, and receipts.

    If I'm just around the house I tend to keep my phone in my pocket. Sometimes I'll have my camera in my other pocket when outside or out and about somewhere.

    I can't do the metro purse shite. I have one black leather jacket that I carry, slung over one shoulder if it's too hot, that holds my Cell, wallet, cigarette/pipe/tobacco, keys, pens, altoids/chewing gum, and medicine.

    Re: I have a dream...

    How in the **** does all that shit stay in y'alls pockets without your pants falling down? I hook my keys to my belt loop and I start having issues.


    My wallet? Oh lord. I have sort of a coin purse thing that turned into my wallet. It's unorganized, but that's how I roll.

    • License
      2 debit cards (2 different accounts)
      MetroCard
      Exxon card
      Shell card
      CVS card
      Sam's Club card
      Insurance cards and pharmacy card
      Petsmart card
      AAA membership card
      LaQuinta card
      SCAD ID
      EHS ID
      A punchcard to a coffee shop in Savannah
      Some cash
      Pictures of my family
      Dr. appointment reminders
      Business cards for:
      • My vet in Savannah
        A stylist friend of mine
        A florist
        A photographer friend of mine
        A musician friend of mine
        The Tea Room
        A place for fretted instrument repair

      Chapstick
      A flashdrive
      And change


    My purse has
    • That wallet
      My phone
      My camera
      My keys
      Maybe a brush
      More chapstick
      Tampons
      Cases for my glasses and sunglasses
      Gum
      Pepper spray
      Aromatherapy roll-on
      A small notepad
      Pens (usually)


    No way I'd put all that in my pockets. But sometimes I do go out with just my wallet, keys, and phone.
    Curious?

    Re: I have a dream...

    Man, you guys carry too much stuff, especially IDs. It's like you all work in the CIA...

    I carry:
    • My phone.
    • My iPod in a leather case, with my headphones either in, or around my neck (if it's my big, quality ones) or wrapped around my iPod (if it's the standard-issue ones).
    • My wallet, which has my debit card, bus card, cable car card, train pass, driver's licence, University ID, library card and supermarket loyalty card. I don't use cash, ever.


    And, uh, that's it. If I have work I'll use a satchel for some extra stuff (like a book), and I'll also use that for my work keys. I have home keys, but I don't take them anywhere, preferring instead to just use the key under the mat yo (**** yeah New Zealand). When I go to the gym I'll just carry my gym pass in my hand, so I just leave that at home.

    Oh, and Saskatchewan, how big are your pants? Seriously. That stuff couldn't even fit in a pair of Levi's.
