Tweezers? Lypsyl? Small maglite? Wot, no kitchen sink?
[/QUOTE]
As someone who struggles against a compulsion to carry more stuff than I really need, all I can say is, you wait until you need a splinter removing, or a light in a dark space. It's like insurance, the day you leave it at home, is the day you'll need it. People laugh at me, but know who to come to for a plaster.
I sometimes use a rucksack (on two shoulders, I'm afraid, comfort comes above style) and sometimes a small courier bag - I've actually started to us that on the bike instead of a pannier, as it's easier to carry off the bike. But if I need to carry much shopping, I'll revert to the rucksack on foot, or panniers on the bike.

Funny, but I seem to have survived thus far! ;0) In fact, I don't even wear a watch. No need because the world is full of people like you who all have one :0)

It is simple
If you want to look like this
then walk around like a girl with a load of stuff in a little bag.
You may find lots of people will say "NO, well meet you there" when arranging to go anywhere.

I don't wear a watch either, nor carry one in my man bag.
The current contents are; wallet, mobile, house keys, glasses, diary, pen, camera... I defy you to get that lot in your pockets and not look very pleased to see someone! Yesterday, I had my passport and social security bumpf too, for a visit to the local health authority office. Darned useful things these man bags.

Left hand trouser pocket = Wallet and some lose change
Right hand trouser pocket = cigarettes and lighter
Left hand coat pocket = mobile phone
Right hand coat pocket = car + office + house keys
I don't need to carry anything else on a typical day so see no use for a hand bag.

Supermarket plastic bag usually does the trick for extra loads. Chuckable after load has been delivered.
Otherwise
Keys = right pocket
Mobile, coins = left pocket
Wallet = back left pocket
Back right pocket is an emergency reserve rarely used.
