OK, men, what's in your wallet?

[Pecker]

The ladies were forthcoming about their purse contents so lets empty the old billfold and see what you keep in your hip pocket...

I've got

a mastercard
3 visa cards
an atm card
driver's license
5 gas cards (better safe than sorry)
a road service card
a Home Depot Gift Card with $6.44 left
5 department store credit cards
a Food Lion MVP card
a Ukrop's Valued Customer card
medicare card
cardiac surgery history card
voter registration
medical implant information
$20.00
a piece of paper with an important phone number (I can't remember its importance but I'm afraid to throw it away)

C'mon, guys, open it up and 'fess up.

[13788]

TragicWhiteKnight: Am I the only one with two wallets? A thin trouser-pocket one for cards & notes, and a bulkier one for coins, with keys attached (so I never lose them). And a third decoy one I occasionally take, full of coppers that looks thicker than the real one, in case of mugging [gasp, my secret scheme has been revealed!]

As such, I've not too much of interest left in my wallet. Besides ID/credit cards, I have:

* Year-old stub from a screening of 'Night of the Hunter'.
* An asshole's business card, with sarcastic comments scribbled on it.
* A scrap of paper with palindromes on it.
* My 'Jim Garrahy Fudge Kitchen' loyalty card (ironically only used once).
* 2-3 'Forfeits' cards I stole from a party.

Other than that, I keep my wallet tidier than anything else (if the question were what's in my bag, on my table or over the floor, it'd be a much longer list).

 

[13788]

gigantikok: I keep a key in my wallet, too!  I didn't think it was that strange.  Let's see... aside from the usual drivers license and credit card stuff, I've got:

-Various assorted phone numbers on scrap sheets of paper

-Half of a little, metal "Spawn" trinket I found on the ground 4 years ago.

-The imprint of a photo (on the clear plastic part) that got washed one to many times in my wallet.

-Vouchers for over 4000 tickets at a place called "Planet Play".

-Hot Topic discount card.  (Even though that store kinda sucks)

-A key card I stole from a hotel.

...and other various assorted cards I don't really feel like talking about.

bblumbee: Wow, now if we women were to list all those types of things, i.e., types of cards, DL, ID's, etc. some of us would still be listing. LOL

 

[13788]

throb919: TWK--Yeah, I have more than one, too: the daily wallet (contents already listed) and a going clubbing wallet (ID + ATM + $). I could say it's about security or not wanting to take this-or-that "out" with me (yeah, that's it!) but it probably comes down to: not wanting to spoil the lines of my fine ass!

 

[13788]

Maximillian: My wallet is extremely boring I have decided. I am Mr Organized so there is usually nothing extra in there at all, but here goes:

Various paper currency
My DL
Old student ID from UVa (taking that out now)
Visa Card (I have never found more than one CC necessary)
Food Lion MVP Card
Harris-Teeter VIC card
Sam's Club card
Social Security card
Laminated card with important names and numbers
Laminated card explaining My speech problem

And the piece de resistance:
1 ticket courtesy of the Va State Police for doing 125 in a 65, reckless driving and illegal equipment (Nitrous Oxide) Totally worth every penny it ended up costing Me for the thrill of going from 65 to 125 in about 2 seconds  

 

[13788]

7x6andchg: That's twice now that the phrase "Harris Teeter" has made me...well...titter..

Jeez, and I thought Cub Foods and Rainbow foods were bad.

[Pecker]

Harris Teeter is the upscale version of Piggly Wiggly which is the Redneck's source for Redman and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

7x6andchg: Oh my.... I haven't been in a Piggly Wiggly since about 1973 - when my mom slept on the conveyor belt when she was pregnant with me in Milwaukee.
