How long could you entertain yourself with the things in your pocket?

[Yeager942]

If, at right this second, you were snatched away by some shadowy science enrichment center *cough* and placed in an empty room, how long could you entertain yourself with the things in your pockets before going batshit bonkers?

Note: You can't call or text anyone, and there is no internet access for you smartphone snobs out there.


After obsessively examining the 5 dollar bill in my pocket, I think I'd go mad in 5 minutes flat.

Does this count coat pockets? My coat has like five hidden pockets in it and I regularly carry two pocket knives and a multitool so I'm guessing it would take me like ten minutes to escape. If I chose to stay there though I also carry a pack of cards so I could go for a few days.

 

[Generator]

As my pockets are empty, not very long at all.

In before man's pocket pal.

I have a set of little magnets I flip around like a balisong, but magnets.

 

[delet]

I can't go bonkers? Dammit, I've lost before I started...

Aside from that, I have a pencil with plenty of led in it, and I've got an iPod with a refined (Read as: I cut out a lot of songs) set of all the Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtracks (Yes, I believe I'm officially a fanboy now...)

I could last for about 8 hours, assuming food isn't an issue. After those 8 hours, I'll still be able to draw some more.

After that, I can talk to myself.

So... assuming food isn't an issue, I can go for days...

Not very long, considering my pockets are empty.

Now if I still had that card., then I could at least occupy myself by eating it.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

All I have in my pockets (usually) is my iPod Touch. I'd play a few games or mess with a few apps until extreme lost of interest then eventual power drainage. So I'd last like six hours.

Then I'd go mad.

 

[JRCB]

Several hours, due to an iPod Touch, 50 pence, house keys, a wallet, and a comb.

 

[Bat Vader]

If somehow I find a ring in my pocket that allows me to control the forces of Mordor I could be entertained for the entire day.

 

[AfroTree]

*goes to check pockets*..oh wait..im in bed..it's half 1 in the morning...im supposed to be asleep...yay for boxers!

 

[Fox242]

I could stare at my driver's license for about 10 minutes, memorize my credit card number and examine some money. But that would only last for about half an hour before I would resort to bashing my head against the wall.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

well mine are empty

so....a very long time

(I have an incredably overactive immagination)

 

[CoverYourHead]

I have nothing in my pocket. I'd amuse myself by watching how I begin to go crazy.

 

[Daveman]

... well my pockets are empty.

To be honest I usually keep myself awake for about half an hour before I sleep just by thinking, which is really irritating when I'm tired. So I guess that long. Though I really like sleeping, can I do that?

Even if I can't I have pretty good coping skills, I'd just try and think up strats for all sorts of games. I often try to think of good words for hangman when I'm bored, I'm actually pretty good at it.

[HEADING=1]PLEASE AVOID MAKING ANY REFERENCES TO MALE GENITALIA, THANK YOU.[/HEADING]

As for me, I have nothing in my pockets. So I would probably wait for the whole "Portal Gun" thing.

Er.... I mean, I would attempt to escape.

 

[olendvcook]

My pockets are empty right now.

FFUUUUUUU-

^this

though I could probably play a bunch of songs in my head from memory to tide me over for a bit. And then I would have to write stories in my mind.

 

[Jaranja]

Right now? I am not wearing any pants
So...yea... come get me.

Now, now, Commi. Settle down.

I have a paperclip in my pocket so... hours.
