So, what does everyone every day carry in their pockets?

I'll go out to the car here in a bit and take a picture.

iPhone 4 (two, one work, one personal)
Bifold leather Wallet (debit card, CCs, cash, IDs, various contact sheets, moist towelette, etc.)
Car Key
Surefire L4
Gerber F.A.S.T.
Ray Ban 'Tech' Aviator Polarized sunglasses
Unit Coin

I'll leave it up to the mods, but don't post about any firearms you may or may not carry every day.
 
R front = keys and any number of clip knives
L front = original moto droid
R cargo = pen, chap stick, lighter, big life savers in noisy individual wrappers and inhaler i haven't used in prob a year but better safe than sorry
L cargo = tri-fold wallet, with CC, id, business cards, and generally more receipts than money
rear pockets = random folder papers or receipts
I also carry a back pack almost everywhere i go with lunch bag, bills/documents, extra pair of wool socks and short socks, contact case, glasses case, comb, axe spray, big key ring, plastic bags, check book, gerber, and any other assorted emergency items... anything i don't have i can make or acquire

if i'm wearing work/shop pants the only addition is gloves in R rear pocket, earplugs in R cargo pocket

I'm glad I'm not the only one that carries a damn back pack everywhere. Pockets are worthless. I keep my lighter and my smokes in my pocket if I have anything at all in them. The keys(6 cars, two houses, garage, work)/phone/wallet/hard shell arnette sunglasses case/tablet/various purpose charging cables/various paperwork/etc/etc/etc/etc are all kept in the bag.
 
FL: htc Evo 3D, a pen now and then. FR: Bi-fold, keys, Kershaw Tanto Blur
Bookbag varies.
 
i can go to florida for a week with just a backpack
be sure to carry cash to tip your kindly TSA agent after they get done with you
 
Front Left - wallet
Front Right - phone, at least 3 pens and a permanent marker, house/office keys with a bottle opener, and the key/lanyard to either the Si or HHR.
Little Front Right - a small lighter and my 1" knife (from a customer)
Right leg - cigarettes

I hate carrying anything in my back pockets, I usually stuff the receipts from the day in there then empty them out when i get home.
 
Front left:
Car keys (switchblade VW keyfob, 3 housekeys, 1 mailbox key
My work lanyard with my building keys (currently 12)
Retractable badge clip clipped to left pocket with 6(!) RFID badges for work

Front right:
Bifold wallet:
Drivers License
FOID Card
4 debit cards
1 credit card
2 corporate PCards

College ID card
Car/Health/Prescription insurance cards
Wife's business card
A small card with the 4th amendment on one side and a signed statement on the other stating that I don't consent to a search of my person or property

Back pockets are always empty. I used to keep my wallet in my back left pocket all through middle/high school and it messed up my back.

I ALWAYS empty my RR and FL pockets when I sit down at my desk. I rarely ever empty the FR and RL when I sit. When I'm in the car, it's the same, I never empty FR and RL except when I'm at home for the night.

EDIT: Also, nobody else posting pictures?
