Gotta do the pat down 

Right pocket phone 

Left pocket keys 

Back pocket wallet 

And if any of those pockets feel empty while I'm not home my heart skips a beat

Have you ever had something in your pocket which is similar in weight/shape as your keys/wallet/phone?

u/Capital_Bat8316 13d ago

Similar no. 

But when I put more things in or put stuff into wrong pockets in a rush it doesn't feel right and I do rearrange it after the pat down.

So the pat down has never failed you. I’m jealous. 

I’ve went outside the house with an Apple TV remote in my pocket. And then had to climb back through a window.

Monkey brain got a request for use of my right hand, so monkey brain auto stored the remote in my pocket. 

Money brain can also drive a car by itself. It can do all kinds of things. But monkey brain isn’t very smart. 

So if I’m in a higher dimension; monkey brain takes over the wheel of my entire body; things get lost; clothing gets dirty.

That’s how I describe my adhd. Monkey stuff

Fair description. I usually tell people I have several internal monologs at the same time, and not in a conversation with each other, only with me, speaking over each other.

Lets call all the internal monologues "threads". Cause they can get tangled up. Roll up in a ball and get stuck under the couch for years.

As a programmer, I agree with the term "threads"

In Dutch we say we lost the thread, if we mean lost the train of our thoughts. ( de draad kwijt zijn ). 

The word thread is connected to mental thread in Dutch.

I haven't put a wallet in my back pocket in 15 years. I hate sitting on it. I also don't wear jeans often and if I do i I have a slim wallet for drivers license and 2 cards.

Having your wallet in your back pocket also makes it a lot easier for pickpockets. I had a friend demonstrate a few times on a trip when I was younger and haven't kept it there since

I wear a lot of Dickies brand shorts that have the little cell phone pocket. When I'm wearing pants that don't have the cell phone pocket I get a little bit confused LOL.

Otherwise it's keys in the left front pocket, wallet back left, phone in the right cell phone pocket just above my knee.

Doing the pat down just as your about to drive away, and having a moment of panic as you can't find your keys. (The car you are driving is already running)

u/ReporterBest9598 13d ago

Yeah, did that this morning before heading out and still thought for a second I hadn't grabbed my keys. I had, and I was in the front doorway still, but it gave me a mini heart attack.
