  I have 10€ in my phones battery compartment, because sometimes I leave my wallet at home, or forget it.

  And visa has outages sometimes…

    It became a habit for me whenever I am leaving home. Phone and hand kerchief in right pocket, wallet and keys in left pocket. If any item is missing I feel an absolute dread that can’t be ignored. Sometimes dap and iem in right and left pocket when it’s one of those trips.

      I feel like a handkerchief indicates way older than millenial

        Nah, late twenties. Parents taught me from childhood so that stuck around.

      Spectacles, testicles (optional), wallet and watch. I know this is supposed to be how to cross yourself, but ever since my mother taught it to me I’ve used it as a way to make sure I was carrying everything I was likely to need.

      Sometimes I’ll quote it to my wife and she’ll say “oh wait, I forgot my testicles!”

      You put your handkerchief in the same pocket as your phone?

      First of all, how big are your pockets?

      Second of all, doesn’t your phone collect oils from your hand? Do you really want that transferring to your handkerchief in your pocket?

        Kerchiefs barely take any space, not sure what size you are thinking of. You change it everyday, just like clothing that picks up the oil.

    You have a phone battery compartment?

    source

    • autriyo@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Its a fairphone, the battery is user serviceable, pretty much like older phones did it.

        Which version? The 6 has screws.

        Cool I’ve thought about getting one of those when my current one plus gives up.

    I’ve memorized my credit card details for a decade and a half. I don’t often forget my wallet, but it has happened. The few times it has, cashiers have been confused but generally managed to make it work when I’ve given them the numbers. (And to be clear, I’m grateful to them for accommodating the situation.)

    I’ve never considered physically embodying cash within my phone. I’m super paranoid about leaving it behind ever since I broke my ankle and had to call my wife to save me, so I’m less likely to forget it than I am my wallet. Thanks for the idea!

      I used to, but with all the breaches these days my number keeps changing. About every 2-3 at this point.

    I also have money in my phone case, and I always forget about it when needed.

    If visa/mastercard has an outage the edge (nets etc) will cover your payment. This happens automatically after 3 seconds.

      Alternativly I could be out of battery, I don’t have my actual card with me without my wallet.

  Strangely enough thats exactly why I dont carry a wallet. I carry all the things you’d expect in your wallet, but spread out over all my pockets.

  source

  • NoPanko@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I am far too scatterbrained for that, I would spend half my day searching my pockets

    Depending on how much stuff that is, that’s actually insane.

    • yermaw@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Its all mixed in with like snack wrappers that I havent found a bin for, and a biro that might or might not explode at any moment, and a tangle of wires, and a few receipts, and some vape paraphernalia, and on and on.

      Mug me if you like, we’ll be here for hours.

        And you have time to set this up each morning before you leave?

    I will lose a wallet and keys, but I won’t lose my phone. It’s that simple. I have a keypad lock on my house and a car which uses a phone key, so I only carry my phone and it’s the most liberating thing ever. A few years back I rented again for a year when I moved to a new city, and the mental stress of needing to carry a key around was so much higher than I remembered it being.

  Eh, my wallet is a single point of failure. My phone is/can be backed up and recovered if lost, stolen, or broken.

  Not to mention, if you lose your phone, you can remotely deactivate it, and it (can) take a pin or biometric to unlock the phone and access the data. Your lost/stolen wallet means anyone who has it has access to all the info in it, and you have to go through the hassle of deactivating cards and getting new cards.

  In a better world, phone-based payment and IDs would be far superior. The problem is that the current companies and governments involved in setting that up are a bunch of invasive money-grubbing fuckwads.

  I learned my lesson when my banking app had an error with location detection and wouldn’t let me pay. Luckily I was with someone I could borrow the money from. I now always carry a backup, lol.

  Get a card binder. Can even put in a note or two with rarely used cards.
