Are you liable for the $400?

How did it happen?

vaga1220 * · 01-23-2012, 03:15 PM

I'm guessing at a bar. Keeping track of your shit becomes exponentially more difficult in the presence of alcohol and women.

Ironic Mustache · 01-23-2012, 04:54 PM

After they determine the charges are fraud, they'll be reversed. Im pretty sure it happened at a local liquor store. I was returning a lottery scratcher or something and not really paying attention. I recalled way after the fact that someone had made a weird comment about and got closer to me to take a look at what I was doing. I probably ha my wallet on the counter or something. Two charges were made at that store so I'm guessing that's where it happened. Getting the new cards and ID is almost as bad as the $400 would have been.

That really blows. Sorry to hear it. I got my wallet nicked in Barcelona once. Lost around 400 euros, all cards, driver's license, etc. Basically everything but my passport. My solution to this? Stop carrying a wallet. Haven't used one in 5 years. Don't miss it.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 01-23-2012, 10:40 PM

where do you put your ID, cash, cards, etc?

Seems harder to keep track of.

Phone, wallet, keys.

Ugly Bastard · 01-23-2012, 10:42 PM

I stuff my cash (if I decide to leave the house with any), cards (only the ones I decide to leave the house with), and ID in my pocket next to my keys. If I happen to be in possession of a pack of gum at that moment, I'll often stick the cards in the pack of gum. 1,500+ incident free days and counting.

Been rocking a slim clip for years now:

It's a money clip with a card holder (holds about 8 cards) and is still as tight today as it was when I got it.

I've been without the wallet for only a couple of days and it's been a NIGHTMARE. I feel super unorganized. I have cash in 3/4 of my jeans pockets, change in others, receipts in still others... I don't think I was made for this particular lifestyle. I've tried the money clip thing before but it's just as bad as a wallet (or worse) as far as keeping track of it. I suck at that shit. I may have come to the conclusion that I need to have a wallet chain or something and just hide the chain in my wallet. I'm not nearly hipster enough to try to rock it, but I am absentminded enough that I may need it.

Edit: Oh yea one more insult to injury, it was my dad's wallet that got stolen... Asshole: 1 Sentiment: 0

I go without my wallet when I travel in Asia. But I hate it.

Mr. Blonde · 01-25-2012, 02:02 PM

Front pocket when traveling.

thekremlin · 01-26-2012, 03:46 AM

Never even tried back pocket. But I got a big ol' ass.

Ironic Mustache · 01-26-2012, 05:21 PM

Front wallet is good for not getting pickpocketed, but doesn't really help absentmindedness. I tend to be pretty spacey and set shit down and then forget about it.

f3lix · 01-26-2012, 09:00 PM

Never backpocketted

Ironic Mustache · 01-26-2012, 10:12 PM

It just doesn't feel right in the front pocket. It makes sense, but it throws me off for some reason.

Orgazmo · 01-26-2012, 11:02 PM

If you do it for long enough, it will become natch.

Beebs · 01-26-2012, 11:17 PM

Back pocket, never been pickpocketed; did got robbed with my wallet in my hand once.

Saint DH · 01-27-2012, 05:47 PM

Wallet in back pocket.

Never been robbed.

Ironic Mustache · 01-27-2012, 06:03 PM

I forgot that I almost got pickpocketed on new year's eve. I was at a casino trying to push my way through a WAY overcrowded section and felt someone tug at my pocket and reached back in time to feel a hand, but there were thirty people standing there so no way to tell who.

Ironic Mustache · 01-27-2012, 09:22 PM

RotD: Flowers. They're ridiculous. They last like 4-5 days and are retarded as shit. Girls "love" them, but what they really love, is the idea behind them. The idea still costs me like $50, and that's only because I made a point of boycotting actual florists and now buy exclusively from grocery stores. Otherwise they'd be nearer to $100 for similar arrangements. I hate buying them, but it has become a necessity in my life during certain times of the year.

That being said, I spent about $400 less on my significant other than she spent on me this year, so I guess this is just a rant on principle.

Ugly Bastard · 01-27-2012, 09:47 PM

Flowers are never a necessity. Buy a $5 box of Valentine's Day greeting cards and write a reason you love her inside each one. Give her the cards sporadically throughout the day. Ten times more memorable, romantic, and cheaper than flowers.

f3lix · 01-27-2012, 09:50 PM

Nice, UB.

DDTempest · 01-28-2012, 09:09 AM

Or you could just meet a girl that is cool enough to disregard valentines day all together ...
