... bringing key is good, yes. Never leave place of residence without a way back in.* Key is generally least painful way of doing that. Also least likely to get neighbors to call cops on you, or cause damage to your locks.

*I honestly cannot comprehend how many people do that, so very regularly. It's just... why? It takes seconds to slip key into pocket. So very little effort, potentially saving so very much effort ;_;

People forget things. A lot.

And people (including myself) are super lazy. Sure, I could go upstairs and grab that key...but that takes so much effort. Especially for a weekend.

... easiest trick. Leave them in pocket. If done with pocket bearing object for that day, transfer to tomorrow's pocket bearing object. Then, if you forget your keys, you have also forgotten your pants/dress/shirt/wallet/purse/etc. Which is less likely to happen.

Similarly, it would mean that you were too lazy to be wearing something with pockets and if that's true... I'm sorry. There's no helping you, and you deserve to lounge on the front porch equivalent until help comes. No mercy for the pocketless.

[Sirus]

I'm not sure how people can live without pockets. I'm not happy unless I have at least four easily-accessible pockets on my person at all times. More's the better.

Carabiners are wonderful things, ya know. Put your keyring on it, hook it on a belt loop, and you won't forget. I mean, seriously, I'm more likely to forget my wallet or watch than my keys. o.0

[Graknorke]

How can a person forget their watch?
Being without a watch feels as obvious as not wearing pants. I can't fathom how you could go about naked like that.

[Frumple]

Some of us get by just fine looking up, thank you very much.

... I haven't worn a watch longer than a day, like. Ever.

S'almost a bit of a shame, really. I've got a couple rather nice pocket watches squirreled away somewhere... not where I'm living right now, but accessible enough. Wrist based ones just feel funky

[majikero]

Don't you know being pantsless is their default state?

[Flying Dice]

I can't go pantless, where would I put my stuff!?

...

Don't answer that.

Looking up only works if you know a bunch of stuff like sunrise/sunset time, time of year, which direction is south, and basically all the other things that would affect where you see the sun as being at.

[Frumple]

... I know basically none of that stuff. Still pretty good at knowing the time based on sun position. Sometimes just level of illumination. You get a feel for it when you're in the same area for a while, without having to actually explicitly know... any of that, really.

Definitely don't need to know which direction is south, though. Just which way the sun's moving (this is easy to tell without knowing which cardinal direction is which, so long as your short term memory isn't incredibly horrendous.), and maybe a rough idea of when dawn/nightfall is. That's... about all. Noon is up. The rest isn't much trouble. S'not much more complicated than knowing AM/PM, really.

Guess those 24 hour heathens have it easy, I'unno.

[Graknorke]

Noon isn't up though. It's south. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere in which case noon is north.

[Frumple]

... it's close enough to up it doesn't really matter beyond that, in my experience.

[Thecard]

I never go anywhere without my wallet, deck of cards, phone, notebook, handkerchief, watch, pen, and a pencil. I'll bring my pocketknife too, unless I'm going somewhere I shouldn't have one (school, courthouse, etc.).

I just hate not being prepared. Also, it's nice to help others. I've let a bunch of people borrow a sheet of paper and my pen to write down something important.

What latitude do you live at? Because according to Google I'm at 53.6807° N
