How much does (wallet) size matter?

Over the past few years, my wallet size has really gotten enormous.  I’m not talking about my bank account.  I’m talking about George Costanza-style ‘stuff everything into your wallet until it won’t close’ type large.  (Yes.  That WAS a Seinfeld reference in 2008.  Long live Jerry!)  It was badly in need of an eating disorder.  So I cleaned it out.  I’ve removed about a dozen cards — loyalty cards that I never use, and expired credit/debit cards.  My ‘wallet on a diet’ is a much nicer thing to carry around.  I can actually get my gorilla-sized hands out of my pocket without scraping skin off my knuckles now.

There is a problem though.  Now, whenever I pull my wallet out, I wonder whose it is.  I feel like I’m picking someone’s pocket.
