A piece of chalk for a quick game of hopscotch. A hipflask for a quick sip of adult scotch. A harmonica fits in a pocket! BBAD!
Since I work at McD's, I get LOTS of use from my pants pockets...left side - small nail clippers, 10 to 15 Soft Peppermint Puffs and my phone; right side - little thing (plastic) of kleenex and car keys. Sometimes change in that right side. :2thumbsup: for good, deep pants pockets. (I have safety pins pinned all along the bottom of my pants...to keep the hem up, since nothing short of safety pins or steel thread would keep a hem in these pants in place. lol)
Cell phone and credit card if I am not taking a bag with me. And keys. I keep a lot of strange things in my cars like Kleenex, wet wipes.
I always have an extra key to my apartment so I am never locked out by accident. Also always have plastic bags to pick up dog poop.
When I worked on machines I wore coveralls so I had a ton of pocket space. I had a pocket pouch for tools that hung off my left pocket and it carried various screw drivers and small ratchet and a small hammer, then I had to carry a radio in my leg pocket and in other pockets, lots of other bits including some spare nuts, wing nuts and bolts in case I would drop something and it would roll away under other machines. Also pass keys to enter places that were locked to the rest of the workers, some places we had a number pad to enter, those shoulda been everywhere cos it was a hassle if you forgot your key at home or in your locker in the shop. I also carried nail clippers to cut zip ties, because we used them like some people use duct tape, and a nail file to smooth off edges and scrape stuff off in tracks and other bits of the machines. A tiny plastic nail brush and a small tube of hand cleaner and some medical gloves. Some places it was best to have a pair before you poke your hands somewhere dark. After all that my left ass pocket carried a water bottle quite nicely.
I don't ever carry anything in my pockets, btw. It's really annoying to do so. I do carry things in my purse though.
A couple aspirin in case someone has a heart attack. Those are in my purse tho. They could save a life.
I don't like carrying very many things in my pockets besides money but I do try to carry a guitar pick.
