the best thing to have in your pockets is nothing. it's really uncomfortable to have things stabbing into your thighs at all times. must make dinnertime difficult...
I used to occasionally carry a flag in my pocket when we would go out drinking. And if someone spilled a drink or said something ridiculous stupid i would throw it at them and say " your flagged"
keys to get back into the house, in one of those cellphone cases to they won't stab me or eat holes in my pocket. on the key ring are also a can opener (p-38) and bottle opener. cloth pocket hadkerchiefs. i sneeze a lot, sorry. little tin box of spare meds. one holy stone (a smoothe stone with a naturally occuring hole in it). according to legend, or some story i read somewhere, these are also called elfstones, and if you look through the hole you will always see truth. doesn't say you won't see anything else, but anyway, yah. intergalactic furry identification card, for when i need to present my diplomatic credentials. a pad of phychic paper, i carry in my shirt pocket. bus passes and debit card, so i don't have to carry real currency. a fine tipped felt pen to write with. a sonic screwdriver, disguised as a second felt pen. the inventory is a bit longer and varies somewhat from time to time, but these are pretty much the basics.
I generally wear tight pants so I don't like things in my pockets because they bulk out but I always try and keep a few gold coins in my pockets just in case I feel thirsty.
I carry a knife, Like my father and his father did! I carry a spare contact for my eyes, I wear the thinnest most water made disposable ones and they still dry out. Plus they always blow out on the way home and my DD is 100+/- a day. It sucks ass to drive using one eye in traffic and the ones I threw in the console and glove box got too hot. Other than that maybe medicine, But never carry a wallet in a pocket. My 9mm holster is there also so if I choose to carry in that place or time, I can without causing a scene tucking a gun in you're waste band.
i used to carry one of those knives that was like a little tool kit. i've still got several, but i keep them in my bug-out bag instead. unless i'm walking around out in the woods somewhere, it just hasn't proved all that useful to do so. i carry nothing in hip pockets, because anything in them would be uncomfortable to sit down on. but i do like to have things that are useful in both of my pants side pockets. anything with corners or edges, these things tend to wear holes in pockets much too quickly, i carry in small smoothe cases with rounded edges, or in leather pouches or the equivelant. things like notebooks and pencils and the little flipcase for things like i.d. and buss cards, get carried in shirt pockets, which is why i insist on shirts that have them. i would never carry lethal force, open or concealed, unless i knew for sure i was going someplace where it would be appropriate to do so. effective substitutes for it, concealed, or disguised, are another matter of course.
Oooh tight pants. Lol I originally read it as "I generally wear tights so I don't like things in my pockets..." And I was thinking since when did tights have pockets?
I"m the same. The less I have to walk around with the better it feels. So I only carry the logical things like wallet, keys and a lighter and leave most random stuff at home if I can, which often includes my phone
I like to put some gum or mints in my pocket. I also carry those smaller bottles of hand sanitizer or a bit of lotion for keeping fresh on the go.
From the first letter of your names, the avatars, and fact you were replying to the same post I thought you were the same person restating your case like "woah this person really doesn't like pockets!"
I generally keep a hair tie in my pocket. Other than that, my pockets are usually empty, except right now I have a plastic dog poo bag in my pocket, sans any poo.
