    I had to do a double-take at first. I thought it said "Pocket Pool." :D

    My keys. They're clunky and tend to flip other things out of my pocket whenever I take them out.

    And lint. Lint sucks.

    Keys

    (1) they are bulky - in particular I detest the honking big computer chips they put into car keys these days

    (2) they tend to stick into your leg unless you put something like a wallet between your legs and the keys in which case they just make the pant pocket look deformed

    (3) they make a lot of noise

    I have to agree with keys, for all the reasons stated above. The most annoying thing about a phone in my pocket is getting it out while driving before the call goes into v-mail.

    Fortunately, most of this crap is in my purse on a routine basis. My everyday work outfits usually don't even have pockets!

    Wallet and phone both, each in its own pocket. Add also keys and perhaps some coins. Dreadful. Sometimes, I prefer to carry a briefcase. Especially because a wrench doesn't fit in every pocket.

    Although the keys are a nuisance, what I am usually irritated by is my cell phone - mostly because I tend to forget it is there (I keep it in a back pocket) and then sit on it all the time. Wallets, change, and the pack of cigarettes don't cause problems, but the keys and phone can be rather bothersome. I guess that is why I rarely have my phone on me - because it is literally a pain in the ass!

    Code name for this project is 'PAKO' by the way, and it would be great if it will work. More info on this project will be here later but for now the more votes the happier I am.

    Keep voting :thumb:

    My cellphone, minidisc and my wallet. They're so heavy. And clumpy :D

    Keys, no problem. I have some sort of "Key necklace" to keep my keys alive...

    change. I always end up having a ****load of 1/2 tiny eurocent coins in my pockets and they are annoying as hell.

    [​IMG] My wallet and my keys, but because I only had one vote I voted for my keys.
    I have too many keys, but I all need them so I have to carry them around. They are too bluky and they stick in your leg.
    My wallet is too big just because of all those 1 and 2 eurocent coins. I never use them so they tend to stack up :(

    In my pockets, I carry my wallet, phone, glasses, train season pass and loads of notices and letters, this makes them bulge out enough, but it would be even worse if I didn't have my bag...

    On my back, I carry...

    A pack of AA batteries, a pack of AAA batteries, an English dictionary, a French dictionary, a German dictionary, an English thesaurus, a pack of safety pins, a Robert Jordan book, several textbooks, up to five folders, a bottle of water, my minidisc player and up to five minidiscs, three notepads, a sketchbook, and a4 lined paper pad, and my lunch.

    I voted for the wallet.

    It is usually filled with change, because I'm to cheap to tell the people in the store that I don't need my 1 euro cent change.

    Women got it a lot easier. They have a purse in which they can put all of their stuff. Men have to put it all into their wallet, and even worse, they have to sit on it.

    And I am also afraid my wallet gets stolen every time I ride the metro. :(

    I said my mobile. I carry my wallet in my side pocket, and when ever it does have money in it, its usually notes. No problem with sitting on it. My mobile is the most annoying thing. I'm not as fortunate as some, my mobile is pretty large. It bulges out of my pocket, and I always forget about it.

    Spare change easily...
    Too clunky and noisy.
    And of course lint. Though I must admit, it's kinda fun sometimes digging it out!
