Pockets!

I seem to always relate my questions to what happens to me! :giggle

Yesterday, I found a pair of socks in my pocket! No clue how they got there, and why... but they are mine. I just checked and they are still there... since I forgot to take them out when I got home from work last night and this morning I'm at work now, so, socks still there. Haha!

What have you found in your pocket that didn't belong?

I also have found a keychain/keys, etc. It wasn't mine, and I have no clue where that came from. Was at a friends house, and went home and found them. We never found out who they were from - no one claimed them that was at her house. Mystery keys!

Do you like pockets?

I do! A friend and I met at a party, and she witnessed the OMG face I made when my dress had pockets... and I wasn't aware of them yet. So, now when we greet each other we squeal "Pockets!!!" LOL!
 
I can't remember if I've found something in my pocket that didn't belong.

There have been many many times I've left things in my pocket forgetfully and found them in the dryer.

The newest thing that goes in my pockets now are tiny little drawings made for me by my students.

I do like pockets and wish all my pants had roomy pockets for holding my phone. Even before smartphones were invented, I loved tucking my Sony Cybershot camera into my pocket to keep it handy.

Womens pockets are notoriously too small!!!

I've definitely found money, earrings or some trash in my pocket. We are usually good checkers before things go in the laundry/dryer - only since hubby works for Verizon, and sometimes there are little metal or thick plastic installation/equipment parts jangling from his workday. lol!

I LOVE pockets!! But haven’t really found anything in them that don’t belong. Best thing is when you haven’t worn a coat for a few seasons and you find money!! Bonus!
 
Can't remember finding anything weird in my pockets but I do love a pair of sweatpants that have pockets. I put a dog treat in there to persuade the dog to come in out of the cold. Dog treat doesn't stay long since she sniffs it out rather quickly!

I also agree with @michelepixels that pockets need to be bigger, mainly deeper. When I take my phone with my on a walk, my hand is on it in the pocket the whole time because it can fall out of the pocket so easily since it sticks out.

As a dog owner, I find unused poop bags all the time.

Hahahaha! We have one of those containers on the leash! I do find random ones all around the house... like why would it be ripped off and laying on the couch!? I blame the boys, but have NO proof!

I put mine in my back pocket. It stays put, and it's a bigger phone. I wish the front ones were bigger. So I could fit my credit cards/cash. When you go out and don't have to have anything, bigger pockets would be so much more helpful!
 
Love a good pocket! I don’t usually find things in my pockets, but I do love finding cash in old purses!
 
I put on a pair of jeans the other day and there was a $20 bill folded up in the pocket!! I LOVE when I find money in my pockets!

I stick weird things in my pockets, too. Especially my sweatshirts, which I wear every day and when I find something laying around, I put it in my pocket - thinking that I'll put it where it belongs, then I forget about it. Before I wash any of my sweatshirts, I have to check my pockets. LOL

I do love pants, capris, or shorts with pockets. I have one dress that I use as a house dress. It doesn't have pockets. My robe has pockets in it and I love it.

I rarely put anything IN the pockets, other than my hands. Which is weird because I'm hot natured, so it's not because I'm warming up my hands. Nervous habit?

My sweats don't have back pockets and neither do my shorts which is what I wear when I walk! I did buy a holder for it that has a strap to wear around my wrist but haven't gotten to use it because of weather getting colder and me having never ending sinus issues starting last October. I've been eyeing the new Samsung flip phone but want to wait to see reviews on how it actually holds up before I get it.
 
I LOVE pockets, put my hands in my pockets and keep phone, tissues etc.
Weirdest thing? Probably money. R100 a few years later was so very welcome.
 
Pockets are vital ... where else can I stick my Kleenex???

I can't remember the last time I found something unexpected in my pockets ... maybe when my kids were small? However, I'm always finding Kleenex or tissue shreds in my washer/dryer b/c I've missed a Kleenex stuffed deep into a pocket.

And I *think* women's pockets are made smaller so they don't ruin the "line" of our pants/dresses.

My daughter put on a pair of jeans the other day and knew they weren’t hers because she put her hands in the pockets and found actual pockets, not the 4 inch useless pockets they now put in Women's jeans. She is going to start buying men’s jeans.
 
Pockets are a necessity, especially when you are a person who hates and refuses to carry a purse.

Nothing weird but I always find unused poo bags in every single jacket I own. Rather than use that one, I will add to the 'collection'. They have gone through the wash and dryer many times, thankfully they don't melt. I think my dog has the best smelling poo bags in town :giggle
