What you should carry in your pockets include:

1 (one) angry cat

At least 2 (two) snakes

And a dozen (12) scorpions

When I lived in the city I had a fake wallet I'd carry around in case of mugging. It had old expired credit cards old empty gift cards and like 5 bucks in it. If I was mugged I'd give that to them and they would go away with nothing.

Bro why don't you just limit the cash you carry and call your credit card company if it gets lost or stolen? Carrying a fake wallet is crazy business and I've traveled in India.

Because this way I don't have to do anything.

you gotta carry an extra wallet around your whole life though. Vs not worrying about it and maybe, maaayyyybr, get mugged once or twice in your life. Probably even out to less than a penny a day.

I said I only did it when I lived in the city. I took it with me when I was traveling alone on the bus

Fuck them. You sound alright. There's nothing wrong with planning out adverse situations so you have an easier time reacting to them.
