    It became a habit for me whenever I am leaving home. Phone and hand kerchief in right pocket, wallet and keys in left pocket. If any item is missing I feel an absolute dread that can’t be ignored. Sometimes dap and iem in right and left pocket when it’s one of those trips.

      Spectacles, testicles (optional), wallet and watch. I know this is supposed to be how to cross yourself, but ever since my mother taught it to me I’ve used it as a way to make sure I was carrying everything I was likely to need.

      Sometimes I’ll quote it to my wife and she’ll say “oh wait, I forgot my testicles!”

      You put your handkerchief in the same pocket as your phone?

      First of all, how big are your pockets?

      Second of all, doesn’t your phone collect oils from your hand? Do you really want that transferring to your handkerchief in your pocket?

        Kerchiefs barely take any space, not sure what size you are thinking of. You change it everyday, just like clothing that picks up the oil.

          I guess I was imagining something the size of a cloth dinner napkin, or one of those things bandits cover their faces with. Didn’t realize kerchiefs were smaller.

          But my phone seems to attract oil and cling to it. I wipe it down with alcohol every few days but it doesn’t take long to rebuild. Even while keeping my hands clean. I wouldn’t want it in the same pocket as anything I wipe my face with

            You usually open up the folded kerchief to wipe your face. Shouldn’t matter if the outside is oily.
