Just ONE thing that you should never forget whenever you go out. For me, it's my handkerchief. Lol. It gives me a sense of security, and whenever I forget to bring a hanky, I feel uneasy and uncomfortable. So yea, I can never leave home without my hanky. How about you, what can't you leave home without?

my car keys, after all, I'm not getting very far without them... I also like to have my phone, because I feel I need to be reachable since my mom is elderly and not doing real great. I like to have some reading glasses with me so I can read, labels, books, whatever - I have several pair around the house, a pair in my pouch that I keep my phone in, at my client's and in my car... I guess I would have to say the glasses are the most important, since I have them all over the place!

Well, if you didn't have a car, which one of those other things would you bring with you? In case you were only allowed to bring one of them? I'm guessing you would be bringing your glasses? :D

In my case, it would be my wallet. My wallet contains my money and obviously it would be difficult to survive outside our home without money. It also contains my drivers license and without it, I cannot drive. Although I may be able to do so, but there is always the risk considering that driving without license is a violation.

Something I always bring when leaving the house is my wallet. I don't feel secure if I don't bring it. I will need it to buy something outside the house like drinking water or food, I am good in handling hunger but not thirsty. So I need to bring my wallet every where.

hanky panky - sweaty
i really can't cope with situations without a hanky. i'm a sweaty type of person,i think.so,it's a habbit for me to always and never forget to bring hanky,even sometimes i'll just buy something in the nearby store,i'd still need hanky/towel. i remember when i'm in my college days,it's really embarassing when i got no hanky that time.i just use tissue but that's not comfortable for me. so,to be sure i always bring 2-3 hankies,coz sometimes i misplaced the other one. i also don't leave home without home keys because i'm never sure on what time will i get home.my cellphone,i always use for emergency purposes,and of course,money in case of emergencies.should always have money on pocket.

We're the same! I'm sweaty, and it's also been a habit for me to bring a hanky whenever I leave the house.

That's a nice and unique answer. ;) I also know some people who's allergic to sun light, and they turn really red when they get exposed even just for a short span of time.

For me it would be my phone and wallet, phone is for communicating with others while away and my wallet not just for my cash but if in any case something bad happens to me, hopefully not, my IDs are in there

Sometimes I'm scared to bring my phone and wallet because they are really valuable, and might be stolen from me. Lol :/

Hi, Jeeyah.:-) I can't leave the house without my face powder and lipstick. The face powder eliminates that sticky feel especially when it is too hot outside.It makes me feel and look fresh. As for the lipstick, I feel naked without it. :-)Though, I can do without it but once I am aware that my lips are bare, then, I get really conscious. It helps cover my pale lips, too. Have a great day, my dear.:-)

Oh yes, especially here where it's so hot, a face powder is really helpful when going out. :) And so your lipstick is kind of your sense of security? Just like my hanky, lol. I feel vulnerable without a hanky. :) Thanks for sharing!

My cellphone, definitely! I always bring it everywhere and it helps a lot especially if I am alone. I have this "disorder" of being afraid something terrible happen to me, so if my cellphone is with me, I can make a call for help . Or when I'm bored, I'd just use it to browse the internet.

Yes, a cellphone helps a lot when one is alone. Lol. And especially if you're going to wait for someone or something, it's really handy to always bring a cellphone. I guess it has turned to be one of the most needed things in today's generation.

I also can't leave my house without a handkerchief. I'm a little sweaty type of person so I always make it a point to have at least one hanky in my pocket. (sometimes two)

I know what you mean, haha. I'm sweaty too so I always need to bring my hanky. If I forget it, it's such a huge hassle.

I can step out of my door without my shoulder bag, because inside its all my important things like, wallet,my home/office key and my mobile phone.I always keep my bag with me, with no fear that I will forget or misplace any of my things.Good day!

Well, what if you were only allowed to bring just ONE thing, which among the contents of your bag would you choose to bring? Choose only one? Haha :)

Yes, I guess a wallet is very important. But like what you said, there are cards and your identity is almost literally in there, so sometimes, I don't like bringing my wallet with me in the fear of it getting stolen, so I just bring money.

There was one time that I forgot to bring my cellphone to a review class, and I really really felt helpless without. I only realized that I forgot it when I was already half-way to class. So I had no choice but to borrow my classmates' phones. Haha :)

When I leave home, I always make sure I have with me my press powder, mirror, comb, lip gloss, tissue, cellphone and money of course. I often have a pouch with me, I cant leave house without bringing all these things. Same what you feel when you forget to bring, I feel also uncomfortable and I want to go home also. I just cant take it whenever I forget any of them. Lolz.

When I go out, be sure I will bring my wallet, keys and cellphone. If I have something urgent, at least they are useful for me. I love China

I can never leave without a loose powder and a lipstick. Loose powder leaves me so refresh all day while the lipstick gives my lips some color otherwise I'd look so pale and I don't like that. And another thing I can't leave home without money of course. That would be too miserable of me without money. I can leave all things but money no!Joke!
@jeeyah (1092)

Yes, I guess money is really one of the most essential things to bring. Lol. I don't bring loose powder or lipstick because when I go out, I don't really find the time to use them, so yea. Haha
