The Items We Carry:
Here's a cool flickr photo stream of the stuff people carry in their pockets. The slideshow version is here. Hat tip: First Movers.

Some of those people must have awfully big pockets. I don't think I could fit a SLR camera into any of mine.

I loved this one, with the late-model wireless car key on the keychain, along with 2 genuine skeleton keys.

Bet there won't be many people showing us the gun they carry - and I suspect that some of them do - it's a rough world in some of our cities....

At least one of them did.

Nice Glock 19.

Kind of makes me wonder how many of these people carrying half a Radio Shack along with them every day would say I was stark raving mad for thinking carrying a gun is really no big deal.

I am not afraid to show mine. Luckily I live in a state where open carry is legal as I am too old and fat to hide much. I carry a CZ 82 in its flap over military holster. The holster is trapezoid shaped so almost nobody thinks its a gun, I have a ccw if it ever comes up.

Nice collection, little window into personal lives. I like the wide selection of pocket knives. Personally, I feel undressed without a bladed tool. (Firearms are just another tool). But not allowed at my work environment.

I carry

IPhone (saw a lot of those)

Headphones

Keychain that also has on it
2GB flash Drive
Small Pocket Knife
4 regular keys
Car key

Wallet

Usually a selection of random pens and assorted trash I happen to have in my pocket.


I find a lot of uses for having a small knife on me, although I've lost several by forgetting to take it off my keychain before flying.

The one thing I always carry in my pocket is my cell phone charger.
