What's in your wallet?
 

So the other day I realised that I had an enormous wallet and decided to clean the fucker out and dispose of needless things that have since lost thier usefulness and subsequently have become a burden upon my person.

It wasn't until an hour later that I realised I still needed everything in it and I could only get rid of two reciepts and a scrap of paper with an unlabeled phone number scratched on it in some half-legible print (probably mine while I was on a bender somewhere, sometime.)

So the most constructive thing I was able to do was organise all the phone numbers in my wallet on random pieces of paper and put them on one sheet, fold it up and tuck it inside the flap.



So the question is, what have you got in your wallet? Is it as stuffed with as much shit as mine or is it just a little wad of plastic and cash stowed away in a fold that you could hide in your rectum if you were perhaps sent to prison or on the run from angry knife weilding lawyers?

/me pulls out wallet.....
It has :
1. social security card

6. 1 AAA card
7. 1 snapped washington county library card
8. 1 OREGON ID card (not drivers license)

Thats about it, never any cash in there, don't carry it as a rule.

you don't ever carry cash?
wow i usually never keep it in the bank cause i don't trust them to not give it to themselves (fees), yes all my bank accounts are simply for cashing checks, usually about $10 or min balance in em (if applicable)

@the guilty parties: Take out your SS cards. If your wallet ever gets stolen, the Social Security office gets really pissy to find out that the card was in there and make it real hard to get another one. If your wallet gets lost/stolen with all ID's in it, the only way you can start getting new ones is with your birth certificate. And if you don't have your copy of that, it's a long, painful process to prove who you are cause you can't get a b.c. without ID. :igor:

A friend of mine went through all of that a couple years ago. So now, he's got photo copies of everything and an updated passport kept in a safe as back-up ID.

1. ATM Card
2. Library Card
3. Connexions Card
4. "The Incredibles" cinema ticket
5. Orange swipe card
6. Strawberry flavoured durex condom
7. £46.50

yes mother :D :p [/Playfull sarcasm]


ahhh condoms in the wallet are a no-no, your body heat will ruin it.
plus it'll be ruined being in your wallet even without body heat.

yeah good point, doh, oh well, hmm, sometimes I really worry about not taking enough precautions =/

i know, condoms on a rope, THAT'S THE ANSWER.
plus teh other guys know whos getting some at the bar :D

hah :D sounds like a plan ¬_¬

Nope, I usually visit the bank first thing on a Monday, make a small withdrawal which I then keep in my desk at work, that pays for my lunch and stuff during the week while I'm at work, other than that, nope, pretty much cashless, why carry cash?, if I loose my wallet then that's a wad of cash gone with it, if I loose it now my credit cards and ATM cards are pretty much useless to anyone who finds them, especially now that everywhere is pretty much chip and pin for purchases so there is little chance of anyone using them to go on a spending spree.

If I desperately need hard cash then there is always plenty of machines around.

You don't trust banks to keep your cash because they might give it to themselves? it's been my experience that banks only tend to charge you for services they provide above and beyond the role of regular banking, if you have a massive fucking overdraft for example of course they are gonna charge you fees for using money you don't have etc etc

Let's see......

1. Debit/ATM Card

there are plenty other fees at some banks besides that meester :p

uhhhh lessee :
1. not meeting the minimum balance requirement
2. having a savings account with no checking account
3. not having direct deposit (yes i'm serious on this one they pulled it on me)
4. using other banks atms (plz note in a LOT of cases the other bank will charge you also, like $1.50 but still)
5. a few years back some banks actually charged you JUST to talk to a telller in person
6. a few banks will charge you service fees for use of "online checking/banking"

but anyway i think we've derailed the thread long enough

Man you must be getting ripped off, number 1 I can understand, particulary if you are going into an overdraft situation.

Number 4 used to be and still is quite common over here in the UK, although they are trying to bring in legislation to stop banks doing this, I read somewhere that so many billions a year in banks profit is from charing people to use other banks ATMS, they have to warn you now on screen if they are going to charge you.

But paying for online banking and talking to a teller is just a rip off, mega tight.

Ooooh, I just remembered something else in my wallet, my Starfleet identification badge/card that someone bought me as a joke a few years back, fully paid up member of the Voyager crew, I'm just displaced in time at the minute....

Oh, and my wallet has my initials stamped on the front.

There, back on track now :)

Stopped reading as soon as I saw the SS.

TAKE OUT YOUR GOD DAMN SOCIAL SECURITY CARD!

I went through hell when my wallet was stolen and if you dislike rocks of burning sulfer I suggest you take out your SS TDM. The SS card should not come wallet sized in the first place. Stupid government
