My wallet feels as essential as my keys when leaving my home. Are you just making the point for people who forget their wallet, or do you think there is good reason to intentionally not carry your wallet?
- hypeatei 2y agoNo, I just think we should resist the notion we need to carry things on us at all times to exist as a human being.
- ghaff 2y agoI can exist without carrying things. Practically, if I'm walking around a city, I probably want to have ID and some way of paying for things (and to get back into my home which is presumably locked). If I just take a stroll on the river path from my house I often don't carry anything but mostly I do.
- ghaff 2y agoSome people these days just carry a couple cards with their phone but that's still functionally a wallet. And a lot of things are headed towards contactless payment with phones or smart watches though I'd have trouble wanting to depend on that.
- astura 2y agoI don't ever carry my wallet or keys when I go for a walk, which is usually once a week when it's nice out. I do carry my phone, for podcasts. My door has a keypad to get in.
- assimpleaspossi 2y agoHow would you pay if you only have a twenty? Do they take credit cards?
- Zambyte 2y agoI think you meant to reply to a different comment.
- wyatt_dolores 2y agoMany do take credit cards. In The Netherlands and Belgium, the pay toilets in train stations allow tap to pay with a NFC card or your phone. Toilets in the airports are always free, though.
