The new slim wallet
Having to photoedit the wallet bulge out of my right ass cheek recently was the last straw. Enter Slimmy:
I tried putting it in my front left pocket along with my cell phone, but as I don’t have one of those new iTelephones, it felt like the bulge had only migrated. So back it went into my back pocket.
Going slim also meant I had to cut down on all the useless plastic I hauled around everywhere. Out went the Zipcard, the REI card, the National Parks Pass, and sadly, the pictures of my siblings.
So what’s left?
A few bills folded in half in the front; debit card, credit card, and license in the middle; grocery card, health insurance card, and office key card in the back. So far so good. And you know what—I can totally drop that grocery card.
I’ve used the Slimmy for a couple of years now.
I put my grocery cards on my keychain. All other frequent buyer, health insurance, whatever else cards get rubberbanded and thrown in my bag. Right now all I have is debit, credit, DL, CTA card, and keycard for my office building. And the keycard is too thick to go in the Slimmy, so it sits loose in my pocket.
As for the cell phone issue, my phone goes in my left front pocket and the Slimmy, building keycard, and a microcloth for my glasses go in my right.
And now you know how to steal my identity. Carry on!
Nick! As in Nick Disabato? How goes it? (I promise not to steal your identity)
