A snotty tissue, thirty five cents, a key, some blu-tack and lint.

― rainy, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Usually just money and my hands.

― jel, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm wearing a sarong.

he he! ED = David Beckham! :)

This is getting awfully personal, you'll be asking whats in my pants next. Theres nothing in my pockets, I'm wearing VERY TIGHT TROUSERS and I dont want a key or wallet print on my leg.

― Ronan, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

His precioussssssssssss.

― Mr Noodles, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am naked, so just sxome fluff in my belly button

― Geoff, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nothing, but often lunch money and maybe a note.

― maria, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nothing now, no pockets. Usually nothing if I am at home, unless I just got home.

But generally, if I am away: wallet, keys, change, comb, bus pass.

This answer really doesn't compare to my previous 'what's in your' answers. Maybe I should buy pants with more pockets.

― Josh, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today two recipets , 6 reilgious pamphlets , a pair of pliers a perscpiton filled, a small slinky and and a rock/

― anthony, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

One five pence piece (2001), two one pence pieces (both also 2001 oddly enough, I'm sure I normally have older coins about my person). Keys on silver metal keyring- house key (Cooksons), key to open theremin (Franzen, apparently), long metal pole to keep theremin at correct angle.

― emil.y, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nothing at present. Usually keys, spare change, a receipt or two and a handkerchief (and my wallet in a back pocket).

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've just realised I only looked in my trouser pockets. In my jacket pockets I have:

Richmond packet with 1 Embassy in. Small Marlboro lighter. Enre Medium biro pen. Bit of paper with strange numbers on it. Old broken watch. Safety matches. Little kaleidoscope. Two buttons. Strokes badge that I refuse to wear and didn't even realise I had anymore. 13 bottle tops from beers, I really ought to throw them away.

― emil.y, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a very sharp knife, made in China

― dinosaur, Sunday, 30 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A gun.

― duane, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

£19.98 and a piece of paper with a phone number on it.

― gareth, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have no pockets. there is no lining in my coat. there is more hole than coat. i am a student. my kitchen sink smells bad. please send domestic staff and food parcels.

― alix, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wallet, keys, Sony penguin-biscuit sized aluminium digital radio, Sony Japanese-import MD walkman +remote, headphones, phone, a minidisc, and an empty condom packet (NB not mine).

― Graham, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wait a second - you carry round OTHER PEOPLE'S empty condom packets? That is scary.

I have no pockets today. I don't normally carry stuff in them as it ruins the line of clothes plus stuff falls out when you sit down. This is especially true when you put your fags in your back pocket in a club, forget they are there then go to the toilet and they fall out.

― Emma, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Emma, the aforementioned Bryan Adams contingent were taunting me about spending too much time with a girl I hang about with (=trying to get me ask out (=for a shag) (she was present)). Words were said, relationships were frayed, condoms were thrown. I grabbed the empty packet for as yet unplanned revenge. Any ideas?

― Graham, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have no clue how one might wreak revenge with an empty condom packet, however if you watch more soap operas it is bound to come up at some point. Hollyoaks might be particularly useful in this context.

― Emma, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I reckon Drew Valentine would be able to cause untold despair to the other inhabitants of Capeside with just one empty condom packet.

― Jonnie, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Having watched Battle Royale at the weekend, I am all about making use of unlikely weapons. However, I'm not very good at it yet, just interested, so the best I can suggest is impregnating the empty packet with cyanide and then disguising it as chewing gum.

― Nick, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's a roll of quarters, really.

― Sean, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have an orange hair tie, two brown barrettes, and two glittery blue ones today.

― Maria, Monday, 1 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have had pajamas on all day but they have pockets , really whats the point of pjs having pokets ?

― anthony, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So when you have a horror movie style dream you wake up and the pirates map or whatever is in your pyjama pocket. Shock horror, was it a dream at all?

― Ronan, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A tissue and some crap I wrote.

― Ally C, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wallet, keys, mobile phone, scraggy tissue, work door pass

― braveclub, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:07 (eighteen years ago)

Empty pockets.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:29 (eighteen years ago)

Coat pockets: dog leads, couple of stones from the beach

trouser pockets: haven't got any, because why would women want pockets in their trousers?

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:42 (eighteen years ago)

So they can put something in it? heh

Coat pockets: cellphone, earplug for cellphone, wallet

― nathalie, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:46 (eighteen years ago)

i hate trousers without pockets! where do you keep your HANDS?
phone, wallet, zapper thing for the work garage.

― emsk, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:01 (eighteen years ago)

I only have some keys and a hair tie in my pockets. I don't like keeping much in there b/c then it bugs me when I sit down.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

Zippo, keys, wallet, change.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

is your zippo plain or does it have some kitschy design?

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

Wallet, keys, cellphone...OMG A SEVERED HEAD AAAAAAAAAAAGH

― Fluffy Bear, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

Nothing. Nada. Are you kidding me, these jeans are tight enough on their own and I have GOT to start going to yoga.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

i hate trousers without pockets! where do you keep your HANDS?

I hate them too. Why oh why do so many pairs of women's trousers not have pockets? Are the designers afraid we're all concealing pearl-handled pistols for doing away with our philandering spouses?

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

It's plain brass, Sam. The first zippo I ever had I found in a nightclub in Roppongi. It had the Seal of the POTUS on it. Some drunk marine must have left it. Otherwise, I've only ever had ones like this one.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

i do not have pockets. do purses count for this thread, or is it strictly pockets?

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

Don't count purses, we'll be here all day.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

nah, mine only contains cameras, cigarette packs, and lip balms.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

Plural?

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

yes. honestly!

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:37 (eighteen years ago)

How many cameras do you need?

Hands have to have a home. I have the fidgetiest hands in the world. If they're not in my pockets they're fooling with things on the table, lining up my glass with the pattern on the tablecloth, straightening fringe on placemats, making balls of candle wax, you name it.

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

Hands in hoodies' pockets always remind me of the shared sexual frustration of teenage boys and monks (think of the joined and hidden hands of a monk in his habit) . I find it gawky and unattractive.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

robyn starting smoking and carry a pimp cane and or cup.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

Robyn, throw out all those no-pocket pants!

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

What's a pimp cup?

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

And I was just feeling so pleased with my multi-hued hoodie collection the other day. Hand jamming, now with extra relish.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

if i'm talking to people, my hands are in the air, so no issue there

but if i'm standing there listening to music or waiting for someone but feeling like i want to be sitting but there's nowhere to sit or lean, then pockets/etc are needed. or boyfriend! there is an idea; they are good to lean on

yeah, i get what you're saying m white - which is part of why i usually unzip hoodie when hands in pockets anyway

hands.

― rrrobyn, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

I wear jackets or blazers quite often and I like to keep my hands in the pockets thereof.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:19 (eighteen years ago)

i'm pretty surprised at how safe googling "fur muff" turned out to be

― rrrobyn, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:19 (eighteen years ago)

I have, since I was young, practiced feeling less uncomfortable standing straight with hands at sides, since I read in I think it was Murder on the Orient Express that one of the characters betrayed her past as an actress since only on-stage do people learn to be comfortable standing in the simplest, least-engaged way possible in order not to distract from other players. I still don't like it, though.

I do something like this too often, too.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

god dammit, I thought I had the code stuff figured out here.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

And thumb-twiddling! My father used to do this at the table. He had big meaty hands and his thumbs made a dry raspy sound as they rubbed past each other. I WANTED TO KILL HIM.

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

of course you do

I don't think [pimp cup] is one of the new bb tags.

Actually Robyn that xpost worked out perfectly.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

Didn't it though?

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

I was mistaking the image and link tag. I think I couldn't decide if I was linking or inserting an image.

I meant ARMS folded over chest, up above, but you all knew that.

Also, you better not be in front of me at airport security, sd.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:32 (eighteen years ago)

Sometimes, when I'm marginally nervous, I find myself with fingers interlaced, one thumb scratching the opposite palm.
As a child, I would scratch the side of my nose with my index finger as I sucked my thumb. I wore a sore into my nose, and my mother had to tape my fingers together.

Beth, I sucked on two fingers and peeled the nap off a fuzzy blanket with the other hand. No open sores were involved but my parents did worry about my teeth and threaten to tie my hand to the headboard. I still have the blanket(s).

― Laurel, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

And I rubbed all the hair off my teddy bear, as most of you know.

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

Lauren, scan your blanky!
Here's my bear, lest anyone has forgotten him:

I DO have very crooked teeth. Oddly, now I am not an overly "oral" person. Maybe the thumbsucking had more to do with the hand than the mouth.

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)

I still wuv him. He's on the shelf over my computer.

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

bat, or "dugout" is a small metal pipe often disguised as a cigarette.
http://www.continental-smoking-pipes.com/pcat-gifs/products-small/bat-a-3.jpg
useful for smoking dope on the street, as is my want.
too many pockets is the reason the headphones got left behind
...or was it the dope smoking?

(probably the contents of the DVD-Rs scrambled me braine)

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

beth, that bear reminds of this very scary bear my brother and I found in an abandoned train station in Gary, Indiana. I'll have to ask him if he has a still of the video we took. it was awful.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

Abandoned in a train station? You found PADDINGTON!!!!!

bat, or "dugout" is a small metal pipe often disguised as a cigarette.

Oh. I know those. SF's pretty laid back about smoking, though. In my 'hood, the police have other stuff to do than bust people smoking weed and the county has decided that marijuana 'crimes' are to be given the lowest priority.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

Change, key, lighter, oyster card, old cinema ticket, some kind of ring I found while wandering the tunnels of the Misty Mountains.

I think it's a testament to the youthfulness of ILXors that no one has a TO-DO LIST in their pocket, like the one I just put in mine...
Or does everyone but me have a Blackberry?
