I am at the point where the first thing I do when I get home each day is take my wallet and keys out of my pockets and put them in the same place every time, so when I leave I can't lock the door without my keys and my wallet is with my keys, so I always remember to take them when I go., If I leave them in a pocket instead, I might never find them again, however, since I know to look in my set place for my wallet and keys, if they are not there, I know to look for them before I leave. I have to rely on routine like that because my memory for practical things is crap (and I can never find things I am looking for in the house if I am not certain where they are-and god forbid I have to look for something in a drawer or in the refrigerator, it could be in plain sight and I would never find it unless I already know where it is). -M I do the same thing. First thing when I get home is empty all the stuff in my pockets (wallet, keys, phone, comb, knife) and put them in my hard-fought-for counter space in the kitchen. I recently had to search all over for my pocket knife, thinking it fell out of my pocket on the ground or in the car. Finally found it in the pants pocket of the suit I wore last week for a job interview. Getting old sucks. I hear ya. Well, I would if I could find my ear trumpet.

First thing when I get home is empty all the stuff in my pockets ( knife) You carry a knife with you everyday in case you need it for an emergency banana or because you live in The Danger Zone?

Out of all the things you listed, the comb caught my attention the most. I cannot recall the last time I knew of a man carrying a comb on him. I *think* my brothers may have when they were little. And my father, when he was a younger man. But I did not know men still carried combs on them. Is this a common thing? Or just a DE Sinclair thing?

If his hair is thinning on top and he's got a makeshift comb-over going on, then on windy days it's nice to have a comb. Or you'll look like Prince Hal's picture. Not that I'm speaking from experience. And not to disparage him in any way because he's got that knife on him

Not that I'm speaking from experience. And not to disparage him in any way because he's got that knife on him LOL! This is why I like you so much, Ish. You're hilarious. And I guess men are as bad about their pockets as women are with their purses? I carry everything BUT a comb. This entire video is my purse. I couldn't tell you how many lip glosses I carry around in my purse (or, just lip products, I should say), nor could I tell you how many perfume body oils I carry. Just know that it's too many. Oh, and CDs. And, I, too, carry dog poop bags in my purse (new, not used). I don't even use my purse when I walk my dogs. (NSFW because bad words)

i just carry everything in the pockets of my jacket Usually it's just all my cards (ATM, PT, ID, health insurance, library), my house keys, and a miniature notebook w/ pencil.
I tried carrying a wallet around for a while to keep my cards and loose change in, but it was just inconvenient for me.
No longer have any use for a comb, but even back when I did, I didn't carry it on me when going outside.

Do you use a money clip to keep them all together?

Coins usually go in the left pocket. On the rare occasions that I still need paper money, I fold them into my pockets as well. I mostly pay with my ATM card. If anyone's foolish enough to reach for my pockets, I just karate chop them!!

And this is a money clip: I've seen some people clip their licenses, credit cards, and business cards in them.

My hair may be getting greyer, but it hasn't deserted me yet.
As to the comb, I assumed everyone had one. In my case I keep one on me in self defense. My hair is pretty wavy so it has to be tamed every so often or I look like I just woke up from under a bush.

Because I live in the Danger Zone? Where I live is nice enough, where I work not so much. But if anyone is intimidated from a life of crime by the 2 1/2 long blade on my pocket knife, then they really weren't cut out for that life anyways.
It's a habit I got into in the Navy because you never know when you'll need a knife aboard ship. Mostly I just use it for opening boxes and that sort of thing.
Besides it's one of Gibbs' rules from NCIS: "Never go anywhere without a knife". It's one of the more useful ones along with "Never involve lawyers" (no offense, Slam).
