Keys, wallet, phone. Depending on where I'm going, shopping bags, emotional support toy

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

For anything more than a short walk I always grab: Water bottle (or 2), hand sanitiser, wallet, phone, and keys. I don't like being thirsty.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Wallet, phone, keys.

Keys suck ass though. I can get in through my garage or keypad on the front door. I've got a key hidden in case the power is out. However, I have to carry these giant blocks that let me start my truck or SUV. I hate them. I HATE carrying a giant block in my pocket. I wish I could just have an old style key to start my truck.

There is nothing I always take with me, but I usually have my phone and underwear. Everything else is up in the air.

Backpack. partially to hold the essentials: phone, kleenex, keys, wallet, headphones. And well, you never know if you'll pick something up and the backpack will come in handy

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Keys, phone, wallet, smokes, lighter.

That's about it.

Minimally...keys, wallet, phone. Usually I'll wear my wedding ring unless I'm just going out to grab something and back.

So I end up counting "one, two, three, four" while touching each of these things. The problem comes when I need to bring one more thing (headphones, etc). I'll count to four again and leave but be missing something else. My brain is terrible and I hate it.

  • phone
  • wallet
  • keys
  • vape pen
  • wedding ring

The last one is specifically mentioned because I don't generally wear it at home, I become way too aware of it in my hand and it starts irritating.

For same reason if I'm about to leave the house without it, I become very aware of something missing and "feeling naked" without it.

If I'm going cycling, I usually leave wallet home and instead just grab bank card and ID card with me in fannypack with the rest items mentioned.

One for every pocket of my trousers so if something is missing I always notice on time

[–] sparcipx@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago

Clothing, wallet, car keys, phone (for MfA purposes), ennui.

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Wallet, smartphone, headphones, 36 oz water bottle (topped off), keys if I'm driving somewhere.

Oh, and I double-check to ensure I'm fully (properly) clothed and wearing my glasses. I've definitely made it as far as my car, before realizing I'm still wearing pajama pants.

And my vision is not that bad, so I can roam my house without glasses. But once I hit the open road, I suddenly realize I can't see anything.

When I was in the military, I used to carry a multitool (eg. Leatherman) on my belt everywhere I went. But now that I'm a retired civilian, it just causes problems if I need to explain why I have a knife on me.

Even though it's a multitool, everyone just sees it as a blade. And I'd rather not have someone confiscate it. When you're wearing a military uniform, no one questions it. But I've definitely been stopped in some stores because I was carrying it in civilian clothes.

My wife also bought me a lockpicking set, but I don't know how to use it yet, so I removed it from my keychain. No sense carrying it around if I can't use it. Maybe once day...

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing. Every single item is dependent of what I am doing.

If I go for a walk, the only thing I will bring with me is my dog and a leash (maybe some dog treats.)

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

No clothes? Is that why you aren't allowed near schools?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Phone, car keys, bluetooth earbuds, snus. And the jacket I wear almost everytime I leave the house contains: card holder, a multi-tool, misc markers, a USB stick, and a pen.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Wallet, keys, phone, pocket knife, smile.

[–] JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 18 hours ago

Phone, wallet. Keys if I need to drive. YubiKey if it makes sense.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago

Phone, keys, wallet, testicles, spectacles

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago

Phone, wallet, paper tissues
