I don't know why he does this and it is annoying me because I can not find the answer to it.When he is in the pub he takes turns with the wallets to pay for his rounds.If he is backing horses it wallet number one for the first bet and wallet number two for the second bet.if first bet wins the winnings are always returned to the first wallet.One wallet is black and the other is brown.the black wallet looks fatter than the brown wallet.but both are the same size.
Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation why this guy does this.He is not a nutter .Confused

I am thinking about it and I can not think of a reason why he does this.What advantage is it for him.He works in a factory that makes shoes so its nothing to do with business.i think its very strange.But he always uses them in rotation if he buys a newspaper he pays from wallet number one and if he buys petrol its wallet number two that pays.

if there was a guy in del boy that was named joey two wallets you have a good laugh.
If you ask him why he carries two wallets he will say"i don't know I just do".
So I asked him did he ever go out for a drink with just one wallet,and he said"i did once but I did not feel right so I went home for the other one"
And I swear the guy is not crazy,he is very level headed apart from the must to carry two wallets.
it takes all sorts to make a world so I thought I would share this little story with you all.
but my head is fecked trying to think why a guy would want to carry two wallets with himLaugh

We all know that from time to time we have to fill our wallets when they get lean so I started to think about joey and I wonder does he put the same amount of injection into both when he gives them a boost.
And what beats me is why the black one had more notes in it than the brown one.
I swear lads my mind is doing 90 to the dozen thinking why a guy would want two wallets.
And the fact that this guy is a real sensible guy.Confused

Maybe one is leather and the other is plastic.
Does he always carry them in the same pockets ?
One on the left ,one on the right?
One in his jacket ,one in his trousers ?
One is buttoned , one is zipped ?
But which ? But why ?

Perfectly normal behaviour. Doesn't everybody?
Report Dr Crippen • March 10, 2017 11:31 PM GMT
He had a perfectly good wallet, then someone bought him another for a present.

Not being able to decide which one to use, he used both until he'd made up his mind.

He never decided, so now he uses both.
Report brassneck • March 10, 2017 11:39 PM GMT
I only met him once,but im thinking many gamblers have two wallets,a gambling wallet and a normal every day wallet ,the only problem with Joey is that when I seen him having a bet in the bookie office his first bet came out of the black wallet and his second bet came out of the brown wallet,he collected on the first bet and his winnings went back into the black wallet.(so I have now worked out why the black wallet is fatter than the brown one).
So I guess its not that strange.
But then again he bought a drink out of  both wallets?i am confused again.Laugh
Report brassneck • March 10, 2017 11:43 PM GMT
Some people who gamble have a gambler wallet and will not share gambling money for any reason in case it breaks their luck.So they always keep their gambling money separate .

Yes Casemoney I think you hit the nail on the head its a case of OCD .And it has finally given me an answer that helps my brain rest.

A boy at college used to have two wallets.  One was his normal wallet and the other had just a fiver and a few coins in it.  This was so if he got mugged he could hand over something whilst (hopefully) keeping his actual money and cards safe.

I used to the same thing when I went racing all the time. Was never the best idea when you went for a pint afterwards
to celebrate a good day taking a full wallet out in some pub in an area you didnt know.

For AUNTY POST.when I went into the pub to meet friends I was told that Joey two wallets was in the pub.Everyone was talking about him.i went to the bar for a drink and said to myself"i am going to ask him why he has to wallets"
this guy is called joey two wallets ,and loves the attention of the name,but after talking to him for a few minutes I could not believe how friendly and pleasant this guy is.And everyone knows him as joey two wallets.
Report Gallivanter • March 11, 2017 7:54 PM GMT
He's passing dodgy notes. One wallet is the clean one and that holds clean cash. The other wallet is the dodgy one and that shifts the doubtful stuff. He doesn't want to drop too much bad money in one place at the same time, so he sometimes alternates them. The fat wallet will be the clean one because the notes will tend to be of lower value.

Sound like a shrewd move....If he had all his cards and money stuffed all in one wallet, and goes on to loose that wallet...he's SCREWED!!! 

At least with his system he has a 'backup' wallet to fall back on.
Report brassneck • March 12, 2017 6:56 PM GMT
What a great idea ,and it sounds better by calling it a back up wallet.
You could have a real bad day on the horses and football and all the bills arrive and you say to yourself"i just reach into my back left hand pocket and take the second wallet out."LaughLaughLaugh

If your wallet is too loose, then you are more than likely to lose it!

Keeping two wallets, one in your back left hand pocket and one in your back right hand pocket, is pretty much guaranteed to cause frottage in your tube. Particularly if you're near Earls Court.
