  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.

        I have always found the idea of a hanky really gross. Do you actually blow your nose in it and then put it back in your pocket?

    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.

        I guess I was imagining something the size of a cloth dinner napkin, or one of those things bandits cover their faces with. Didn’t realize kerchiefs were smaller.

        But my phone seems to attract oil and cling to it. I wipe it down with alcohol every few days but it doesn’t take long to rebuild. Even while keeping my hands clean. I wouldn’t want it in the same pocket as anything I wipe my face with

        What’s flagging? Is that some hip lingo I’m too old to understand?

  You have a phone battery compartment?

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

  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.

  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.
