I wear a fanny pack a lot, mostly outside of school, but now I find that I need one at school to hold my wallet, bus pass, keys, and other stuff..
I checked out to see if they were allowed at my school, and they are. I want to use one, i’m just worried people will laugh at me, what should I do?

I wear a fanny pack to school.. I thought people would laugh at me but they didn’t.. It’s leather.. I remember back in grade 4.. when my fanny pack stayed on me all the time.. even other kids asked me to hold stuff for them..

Whats wrong with wearing a fanny pack? I use mine at school, it became very handy, espescially when changing classes in university. I use mine to hold my bus pass, keys, wallet, cell, lighter.. My friend was pickpocketed, and ever since that happened, he bought a fanny pack and wasnt pickpocketed again. Not all of us fanny packers use them to carry all of the items listed above, we use them because we usually dont have pocket space. I have heard that probably within the next few years, they will probably make a comeback..

Bravo! The kangaroo connection never entered my mind! It makes total sense that Paul Hogan is partially to blame for fanny packs. What gets me are women who wear fanny packs and still carry a purse. I mean if you have that much stuff to carry around on a day to day basis, that’s definitely a sign of some sort of obessive compulsive gotta have everything possible at my fingertips mental thing going on. And unfortunately I’m seeing this in California where we’re supposed to be a little more hip than the rest of fashion American, NY and Miami excluded.

Also, the word fanny means an entirely different thing in Europe (er ..think front instead of rear and another word for cat) which makes the whole thing even more heinous.

I carry all my stuff in a fanny pack. I got starred when I worked in a hospital and had to wear scubbs. Scubbs are short of pockets and the ones they have are priddy thin.Now I hate the fealing of having things in my pockets,so now I am a man whith a bag.

I wear a fanny pack everyday. Its holds my pda, cell phone, and wallet. I find I need the extra room. I have a black leather fanny pack, it has 2 pockets, one at the front and one hidden. I remember in the 90’s when they first came out, everyone in junior high had them including myself. I’m still going to keep using mine..

I don’t carry much, usually the typical Mobile phone, wallet, house keys and car keys, and sometimes a pda. I usually carry these things in my pant pockets and they are forever pulling my pants down. Almost had a flashing incident in the city. I started wearing a “fanny pack” so my pants don’t have to suffer, it’s a serious fashion crime though. And all of us in Australia blame Paul Hogan for a lot of things.. for starters we don’t have shrimp, we have prawns.

I wear a black fanny pack because I like to bmx bike a lot. I found stuff kept falling out of my pants or my jacket, and when my girlfriend called me to tell me to come meet her some place, I would have to load everything up in my pockets, but now I just put on my fanny pack, she has one too. I wear mine under my shirt so nobody will tell, but they usually think i’m fat, so I just tell them i’m wearing a fanny pack. It is also able to hold my iPod which is great. Mine is a small one pocket pack but I manage to get my iPod, wallet, cell phone, pedometer, keys, and my bike tools. I say that they are still in style, because everytime I go somewhere, someone younger than me is wearing one.
