Anybody that would call you a douchebag for that, would be considered an even BIGGER douchebag in my opinion. Eff em in the A, if they do.

I'm with Matt. i use my sketchbooks for scribbling down notes, ideas, etc. 90% of which might make no sense to an outsider that would look at them.

But I'm still not gonna show em, just in case...

I go through at least 2 - 3.5x5.5" Moleskins a year. I take one everywhere with me. I used to use Post-it notes while I got ideas when I was sitting at my desk. But I'd lose those after a while. I switched to Moleskins, so the stuff would be nicely collected in one spot. The better ideas, get scanned in, blown up and tweaked in Pchop, and then printed out and re-drawn. Or depending on the situation, I just go and re-draw the stuff in my larger 8x12" spiral bound Canson sketchbook. Bulkier to carry, but better for finished pieces.

Funny, cuz just last week, i went through all my sketchbooks since 2004, just to see what sort of stuff was hiding in there. There were some stinkers on those pages, but a few forgotten gems too.
