I despise carrying bags, so never really take anything with me
although this does remind me of a funny story;
A friend and I had taken the bus into the city and were sat next to each other chatting. We were sat in one of those seats where people can sit opposite you and travel backwards. Eventually one woman comes and sits opposite us and after a little while begins to look at my friends foot in a confused manner. Thinking nothing of it we continue talking and my friend crosses her left leg over her right, only then do we notice what the woman opposite had looking at. Dangling round my friends ankle is a pair of her pants. She proceeds to quickly pull them of her ankle and shove them in her pocket.

How did they get there? Well it turns out that the night before, as she was getting ready to sleep, she'd pulled off her trousers and underwear in one, so her knickers were sittting there in her trousers when she came to put them on next day. As she put her trousers on she had put her foot back through her pants and had worn them round her ankle for the majority of the morning, and neither of us had noticed.

Not something that she always carries, but a funny story none the less.
