In one of the magazines I read a list of signs that you are a man. And the first point is bingo!
“You put money in your pockets. You don't have a wallet. In theory, there is, as it were... but pockets are better! "
My friend has a red Chanel wallet. And when she slowly opens it, takes out money, some cards, it looks so stylish, feminine, and she does it... with dignity or something. Well, what can you open a red Chanel wallet with?
My money is scattered all over my body. If I am in jeans, then they are sure to be in the pockets, if in a leather jacket - they are in the inner pocket, if in jeans - then they will be found in both the back and front pockets. At the same time, they are still in the bag in several internal pockets and in external ones, large ones are necessarily in the passport.
Once I was buying cutlets in the market, and the seller is a gloomy man who usually talks to buyers only about beef and pork, - could not resist when I reached for money in the passport, which lay in the outer pocket of the bag:
"Girl! What are you?! Why do you carry money in your passport? And if someone sees? What if you lose it? "
I have everything under control here, because I keep my passport like the apple of my eye. Unlike a wallet.
Twice in my life they pulled out my wallet, which contained the last money. ALL. Once it happened on the train, when I was driving from work - there it is impossible to control, unfortunately. As a result, I went to the platform, reached the bus stop, reached into my bag to find money for a minibus, and it was empty.
It's so sad to stand late at night at a bus stop in a strange city when you don't have a penny to get out of there. When you live in city A, now you are in city B, and your money, which is needed to get from B to A, remained somewhere between Moscow and Vladimir.
Fortunately, the phone turned out to be intact and with money in the account. I called my mother, through tears, told about everything, took the car to her house, where they met me, warmed me up, paid for me and wiped my snot. Bursting into tears in a taxi, I thought of only one thing - that I will never, never, never carry money in my wallet.
The most important thing is that I have a wallet. And he always lies in the bag, but only small change is stored there. And if someone squeezes it from me again, they will first be glad that it is so heavy, and then they will be upset, and my turn will come to rejoice.
After all, everyone thinks that if there is a wallet, then there is money. But the wrong one was attacked. And if someone attacks, then he will have to thoroughly search me, collecting in little things everything that is scattered around the entire perimeter of me. And all the hope is that in the process he will get tired and change his mind.
By the way, a few years ago on TV I heard a recommendation in the news on how to protect yourself from pickpockets. You just need to carry money in a mayonnaise jar! Strong statement. Of course, I will not check it.
In general, of course, keep your money in a bank account. If, of course, you have them.
