I guess everyone who leaves their house daily will have some kind of list. Mine~ Car keys, Wallet, Phone, Headphones, Leatherman multitool, Generally positive attitude
Yes, I always carry my notarized egg currency with me…
Shoes and shirt, or no service otherwise.
Donald Duck would be proud
Meh, that’s not even required around my area. Just cover your junk and you’re good. 👍
“Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch”
Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.
It’s funny, for years my list was keys, wallet, and phone, and of those it’s the keys that go back the furthest. I had a key to my parents house when I was a young teen, and I’ve always carried keys with me since (I’m in my 60s now). I sold my house a couple months ago, and I’ve been living in a hotel until I close on a condo, and it feels so strange not to own any keys now, just the key card for the hotel.
No car keys or keys to relatives places?
No keys to anyone else’s place. Car key is a little odd: the hotel has mandatory valet parking, so I don’t have the key when I leave the room, or if I go for a walk. If I drive someplace, the valet hands me the key when they bring the car, so I do have one, but it’s not something I make sure I have when I leave.
Interesting.
I have ADHD so I get rid of most problems by literally tying things to myself. I have a second belt which goers over my pants and have a hip bag attached to it. In that I have the following;
Disposable nitrile gloves (3-4 pairs)
Hand sanitiser
Power bank (10000mAh)
USB C cable
Thumb drives (one with kids shows, one with software, one blank)
USB A to C adapter
Wallet
ID lanyard
Emergency cash (not in wallet because if I lose my wallet I still have my cash)
Tissues
Aspirin, paracetamol, and ibuprofen
Ritalin
Plastic bags for rubbish
Nasal inhaler (for blocked nose, long term issue)
Car and house keys (attached on a clip, not inside)
Then I have my pockets for phones (I have 2), wireless headphones, and anything else for the day.
By keeping my keys attached I cannot get in the car without my belt bag.
Sane reply
Do you mean that ironically or literally?
Tbh, if I didn’t actually attach things to myself I would lose them. If I had a kid I would have a strap to connect them. When I take my cat for walkies we have a harness and lead which never leaves my hand. I have my keys set up to lock the front door from the outside so I cannot lock myself out without my keys.
ADHD can suck, but with good tools and processes it is much more manageable.

This is so relatable! Everything I need has a place in my backpack. My fannie pack also goes in my backpack because I don’t want to move items then forget them.

This guy EDCs. And masturbates a lot apparently.
The amount of knives seems excessive lol.
I was homeless for about 2 years, so they keep me calm. That’s really all I use them them for; totems I suppose.
Distinct lack of panic.
Clothes, unfortunately. If I go out nude, the nation will bankrupt itself trying to get a front-row viewing of this show~
Well sometimes nothing if I am with my husband, that is so awesome. But if it’s just me - keys and phone are my usual gear, phone can pay for stuff. Bike lock if I am on the bike; purse with all my purse stuff if I’m driving the car.
Stuff in my purse is wallet with ID and cards, vitamins and medicines, hair stuff and lip balm, sunscreen, a Rubik’s Cube, a crow whistle and dice, glasses cleaner and sometimes sunglasses.
a Rubik’s Cube
How fast is your fastest? I done the 3x3 in like within 60 seconds, nothing even close to the 5-second that pros get.
I suck at it, lucky to solve it at any speed - my penultimate kid is fast though, like you under a minute. Just like to have some analog toys in my bag.
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…
I keep most of my “EDC” stuff in my bag — chapstick, keys, hand sani, etc.
If I’m going out for a while and I expect it to get dark, I like to pack a flashlight.
I used to carry a knife but sometimes it makes going into bars and clubs awkward so I usually leave it at home now
Keys, wallet, phone. Depending on where I’m going, shopping bags, emotional support toy
- Phone
- Wallet
- Glasses case
- Keys
One for every pocket of my trousers so if something is missing I always notice on time
- phone
- wallet
- keys
- lꝏp earplugs
- neck strap attached to case for above
… yes that’s literally it !
The ideal list of stuff (sometime I forget or not have time):
- Phone
- Keys
- Pepper Spray (am a non-white dude, live in US, but don’t feel ready to carry a gun yet, don’t wanna get too depressed and shoot myself lol)
- wireless earbuds
- some hand sanitizers to clean my hands in case I need to touch a bathroom doorknob and there’s no paper towel to let me open it without getting nasty shit on my hand (anyone else germophobic?),
- hopefully I remember my power bank and the cable
Based on that answer, dont ever get a gun, friend.
I completely feel ya with the gun-thingy.
Keys, wallet, phone, vape. Pants are optional, but they do help with carrying the other stuff.
