Junk you carry with you...

[Bluesteel]

I've just spent 5 minutes at work alleviating my boredom by looking through my jacket pockets.

Apart from the usual things one would have, and like a cheap version of the Generation Game, I was surprised to find the following lurking in various pockets:

3 elastic bands
a selection of plasters
a biro
insurance details (from 3 years ago!)
4 keys, to 4 padlocks I no longer have
57p in small denominations
2 mobile phone numbers (neither currently connected- damn!)
and, what looks to be the remains of a petrified scotch egg…

No cuddly toy then!

Does anyone else carry about useless stuff intentionally or unintentionally?

[thedonal]

Are you sure you don't need a handbag for all that! :lol:

I try and keep the barest minimum in my pockets- which is probably why I've got a flat full of junk instead! And just don't mention paperwork.... !

Does buying a second hand jacket and finding a snotty hanky count?

[hovis]

:razz: i found 20p in the waterproof textiles i bought off spankyham........ shhhhhhh

[Ping]

Old petrol receipts and spare ear plugs...

Apart from cash card, cash, keys and phone. Oh and a lipsil.


:rave: Party in my pockets! :lol: :p

[Bluesteel]

I can't believe no one has mentioned any prophylactics… Used or otherwise J

I took it for a quick blast through peak hour London traffic strapped to my mirrors...

what about your notebook???

[Bluesteel]

Hehe, thanks Sarah. My notebook goes everywhere with me, but it is usually afforded a place in my backpack. Today I have made notes on:

Tasks to do at home tonight
People to call about my weekend
People to call about social things next week
Things I need to buy (Chain lube, Olive oil, Green tea and stamps)

I am so sad.

hundreds of cable ties
about 12 fuses
business cards
driving licence counterpart (aha! found it :) )

[thedonal]

Theyre slippery things, those counterpart licenses, aren't they?!!

[Reckless Rat]

My jacket has a hole on the pocket lining... most stuff (usually keys) I can't find turns up in the lining somewhere!
