How nerdy are YOU?

[rockr21]

You can tell a lot about someone from what they carry in their pockets. Here's how this works: Empty your pockets and anything on your belt (cellphones, knives, etc.) and put the whole lot together. Take a picture of all the stuff you carry around, and post it here. Let's see who carries the geekiest stuff! Here's mine:

[_h_]

Why do you carry a concealed weapon?

Haha, actually, I use that knife for EVERYTHING! I use it for screws, paint lids, opening packages... I love it.

I'm pretty geeky, although my pocket contents are not too disimmilar from yourown, save that i don;t carry weapons (no need, and illegal in my office), and my lighter pairs with a pack of smokes. I'm always suspicious when someone has a lighter but no smokes. it makes me think that there is something else in their pockets too. lolz.

I don;t carry a camera so no pictures, but it's simple: smokes/lighter, cell, keys, wallet, and a pen; each in exactly the pocket they are supposed to be in.

cheers

You don't need to show off your weapons on an internet forum my friend. And a pistol most definitely does NOT fit into your pocket.

hehe, that's funny. I also have a specific pocket that everything goes in. Keys always go in right front pocket, wallet in rear right pocket, cellphone in front left, etc., etc.

[snakeman21]

No, it does not fit in my pocket... But the OP said anything on your belt... and my state allows me to carry. I'm not trying to show off--in fact, a LOT of people carry around here.

[whiskeylover]

Cell phone and car key. Thats it. Both in different pockets.

[jomiolto]

No pockets. How nerdy is that?

In my typical setup I carry keys and possibly my wallet with me -- I don't even take my phone with me, unless I'm going to be gone for more than a couple of hours. Oh, and a handkerchief, of course. Can't step out of the door without a handkerchief.

If I was truly geeky, I would carry a towel with me.

[cascade9]

I onyl carry my wallet + keys in my pockets, anythign else goes into my bag. Typically its a MP3 player (iriver e100) lighter, spare lighter, ciggies, sometimes a %&#$% mobile phone (I hate the things)...or even 2 (I'm looking for somebody that has a charger for the 'better than the junk mobile I have but I dont know if it works so I'm not spending money till I know it works' phone), pen/pencil, a book, a steel bottle of water, a spare shirt and sometimes a multitool (depends on if I've been riding my bike or going out to fix the odd broken boxxen)


I'm always suspicious when someone has a lighter but no smokes. it makes me think that there is something else in their pockets too. lolz.

Suspicious? Its meant to make you ask if they have a reefer for you too :P

I always carry a lighter, even when I'm not smoking. In part because, even when I've quit a ciggies I still smoke weed sometimes, but also because its a very handy tool to have.


If I was truly geeky, I would carry a towel with me.

Spare shirt = towel, but you can wear it as well :D

[snakeman21]

Cell phone and car key. Thats it. Both in different pockets.

Wow, dude, you travel light! What about a house key? Wallet?? Cash???

[dgw]

I'm female, I don't carry a purse, and this is all I usually carry in my pockets.

[doas777]

If I was truly geeky, I would carry a towel with me.

lol. in Europe, I imagine that joke carries more weight than it does in the states. there you have to be pretty darn geeky to have remembered all the valuable ways a towel can be used by your galactic hitchhiker.

The house keys stay in the car.

Love the duct tape wallet... I use to have one (made it myself), but when my wife bought me a leather one, I had to start using it so I wouldn't hurt her feelings... LOL

[dgw]

Thanks. Yeah, I made my wallet myself.

Btw I didn't post mine because all I've got in my pockets are: keys, phone, chapstick, wallet

[samalex]

This is a unique post, so heck I'll jump in :)

I don't feel like emptying my pockets, but here's what I have:
- Keys, which contains about 10 keys plus two car remotes
- Remington Pocket knife
- Cell Phone
- Wallet
- Receipt from Bahama Bucks which I grabbed earlier
.. they gave me Blue Coconut instead of Blue Bubblegum for which I asked -- I hate coconut so taking it home to my wonderful wife
- 75 cents in quarters for the soda machine since I couldn't drink my Bahama Bucks slushy

Here's my daily carry-

Normally I carry a leatherman multi tool, but the pocket clip broke so I'm back to the tactical folder. I'm also currently in between wallets, so I only carry my ID and bank card.

BM

[cariboo]

The only thing I have in my pockets is my wallet, I hate having stuff in them. I use an aluminium briefcase/toolkit to carry all the stuff I need on a day to day basis.

[mamamia88]

op yours looks almost exactly like mine with exception of knife. i even have same exact phone

[spupy]

Nerds don't compare pocket contents, they compare /home folders.

Anyway...
a wallet
a mobile phone
an mp3 player (optional)
a package of chewing gum
a tissue
a key (yes, I have only one key!)
a fountain pen (optional)
a small Swiss knife with a flash drive in it (optional)

... my powerlevels remain hidden!

[arashiko28]

I'm a female, but I don't carry a bag either since once I got robbed. On my left back pocket I have a small wallet, right side, IPAQ, front left coins, keys and headphones, front right, cell phone.;)

[mamamia88]

heres a question is it weird to carry a zippo lighter around if you don't smoke? after reading this thread i just ordered one for myself on amazon just kind of wanted one

[aklo]

I'm suprised nobody got a grenade in their pocket:D

I don't have a pic but i only got my wallet and handphone in my pockets daily.

[cartman640]

Not much, keys, usb drives, pen, iphone and wallet. The other pile of gadgets is in my bag.

[earthpigg]

cell, cancer sticks, wallet, keychain (containing car key, house, handcuff key, and 4gb thumb drive).

i keep a knife and cassette recorder in the car. they stay there most of the time.

Same, I no longer let myself though. :( (It was affecting my girlfriends health.)

[mamamia88]

i don't smoke but understand that it's very hard to quit so i won't let myself even try smoking. no i spend my money on beer instead. and honestly saying "smoking will kill ya" is just stupid. the saying should be "being alive will kill ya smoking will just get you there quicker" i don't see the point in living if you can't enjoy yourself once in awhile.

[andras artois]

Memory Stick unless I'm going to the pub or such.
Earphones unless I'm going somewhere with other people.
Keys with torch, I keep on me all the time.
Lighter, usually have one with me.
Wallet, keep it with me nearly all the time.
Phone, I keep it on me all the time as well (used it to take the picture)

http://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/w995front1.jpg

I'll probably get a penknife to tinker with things soon enough as well.
Sometimes carry fags or rolling backy, filters and rizla.

[sanderella]

Doggy poo bag, Fishermans Friends (cough sweets), and a paper hankie.;)

[Berk]

To be slightly on topic, just emptied my pockets to find*:
Blackberry, tissues, £1.28, chewing gum, throat sweets, tissues, wallet and keys attached to chains.

A knife is just a tool a very useful one. I use mine every day- and not for fighting. It's just that tactical folders look so cool, and one handed opening is very useful. As a teen and young adult, I carried a butterfly knife (which was also a fun pass time), but the tactical folder is legal and more practical.

[steveneddy]

I am from Texas, AAMOF.

The small silver knife is super sharp and used for an emergency situation, like cutting off seat belts or performing an emergency tracheotomy.

The small, slim black knife is my regular carry knife that I use daily for cutting all kinds of things.

The larger black knife is for self defense.

They are all very sharp. If one gets used, I sharpen it back up that night. I have carried knives my whole life. They are great tools and if you need something cut or trimmed, nothing beats a knife.

I have over 30 different knives. Some for hunting, some for fishing, some just because they look cool and others for various situations.

Although I own switch blade and balisong style knives, I never carry them in public due to the fact that they are illegal.

I also carry a pistol. It's a 40 S&W Springfield Armory XD40. Just got new 12 round clips and a new leather holster. But since I don't carry a pistol in my pocket I didn't take a picture of it.

Be careful with that 1911. 45's go thru people. So be responsible and carry a lighter powder load with a heavy grained bullet (so it travels slower but carries a large force) and don't use FMJ rounds. I know you do this already but it doesn't hurt to mention it.

This is why is carry a 40 S&W. Plenty of force without the possibility of going thru and hitting an innocent bystander.

Also, I'm a professional over the road truck driver, so I need this type of protection occasionally when stopping in odd places or bad neighborhoods early in the AM or late at night.

I use 180 grain Federal Hydroshock JHP for maximum froce with maximum fragmentation on impact. Very safe load, unless you are standing in front of it when the handgun discharges.

Even Steven Segal doesn't do that! And according to the show "Lawman" he's not just an actor anymore. I don't know if that's real or put on, but still funny.

[lisati]

In pockets: wallet in one, hanky and keys in the other, sometimes smokes and a lighter.
On belt: Phone.
Sometimes carried (in a camcorder bag): a stills camera with rechargable batteries, USB cable for camera, battery charger, a number of non-rechargable AA & AAA batteries, a cheap $2 imitation of a Swiss army knife, a "pocket" KJV New Testament, possibly a couple of pens and small pad.
Sometimes around neck: Ubuntu lanyard sporting an MP3 player and a small light. Budget headphones to replace ear-plugs that came with MP3 player and that fall out at inopportune moments.

Never underestimate the knife. Look up the 21 foot rule.

Have to disagree with you on some points. An underpowered load increases the risk of the weapon not cycling. The 1911 was designed FMJ, and many hollow point designs will not feed properly in some models. Something like the Powerball or EFMJ might be better suited.

Always remember rule # 4 (backstop) regardless of caliber.

- gorilla pod (awesome tripod for camera)
- Wacom tablet
- USB cable
- ethernet cable
- paper & notebooks
wow i wish my wife had all that. or even knew what half of it is for that matter! +1!

[snakeman21]

never underestimate the knife. Look up the 21 foot rule.


Have to disagree with you on some points. An underpowered load increases the risk of the weapon not cycling. The 1911 was designed fmj, and many hollow point designs will not feed properly in some models. Something like the powerball or efmj might be better suited.

Always remember rule # 4 (backstop) regardless of caliber.

Gun nerds ftw?

ftw!!!

Out of the 12 items I listed, I suspect your wife would know the following 7 at least: keys, wallet, book, gloves, camera, laptop, paper/notebooks ... Or perhaps she only know the 5 techie ones? ;-)

Not trying to hijack the thread, but....

The loads offered by major ammo manufacturers shouldn't cause cycling issues. If that IS an issue with your handgun, possible frequent cleanings and refitting by a professional gunsmith may be in order. I have fired close to 500 rounds of this ammo through the same pistol and have not had any cycling issues.

The Federal loads I currently use were recommended by the local P.D. and have been told that many of the Peace Officers all over the county I reside in prefer this exact spec-ed load for professional use.

I use the slightly lighter load and a lower caliber to decrease collateral damage and if you look at the specs, is still very powerful in close quarters.

It's hard to talk about guns on these forums without some of the others getting squeamish about the entire subject.

I chose not to post about guns on UF anymore, but feel free to send me an IM about some other gun forums.

[magmon]

Hmmm... As far as pocket items, I carry two pens, three pencils, a trigger action pocket knife when possible, a nail clipper, a house key, my school ID, my LG dare (good condition, bad phone), and my wallet. However, I feel the need to mention that I'm starting college next year, which should have been my junior year in high school. That beats the hell out of my pocket contents.

[sxmaxchine]

I carry a pocket knife , far from the pinnacle of Geekdom or Nerdisum .

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

What is so surprising about nerds and pocket knives?

Pocket knives are useful for opening the packages that computer equipment ships in. Where I work, we receive shipments of computer equipment every day. If you have a good pocket knife, like a Schrade, it will open those boxes quite efficiently. It is in your pocket; therefore, no need to search for the box cutter.

I've carried a pocket knife for 50 years. I gave all my children pocket knives, including my daughters.

The only time anyone ever questioned me for carrying a pocket knife was when I went through costumes at Heathrow airport about 10 years ago. I wouldn't attempt to carry one on a plane these days though.

[aldld]

Not much, just some cheap cellphone, my keys and a bus pass.

I don't even have a wallet, I just bring a few bills/coins in my pocket if needed.

[tica vun]

[standingwave]

What is so surprising about nerds and pocket knives?It separates us from the animals. It's the most basic tool I can think of and without tools, we're not much more than monkeys with car keys.

[babybean]

Now that I think about it, the contents of my normal school pocket probably place more nerdy than most folk there :oops:.
There is the ipod, phone, wallet and locker key as usual
Then I have 2 memory sticks, one tiny one with ICT coursework etc on it and a bigger one with 10.04 on it. I also have a 4gb spy pen usb thingy that is never charged, and an ubuntu pen. Then there is the 2 masterkeys for all the schools lockers (bought from the internet.)

I think I should maybe clear my pockets out a bit :(
