Why Keep Your Wallet In Your Back Pocket?

[CardinalPiggles]

Mine is always in my front pocket, I don't like the idea of losing my wallet, which is why I do the 'pat down' to check all my stuff is there.

I keep my wallet in my front. The back is for wallet-shaped trash, because it makes it all the more hilarious when it gets lifted.

Do you get Pickpocketed often then? Or are you just waiting for that day.

Phone in front left pocket, wallet in front right. If im driving, keys go in front left with my phone or if I am wearing jeans it goes in the back pocket cos my jeans are tight.

Ok, see you soon!

I keep all my coins in my wallet and because of train ticket machines i keep getting more when i get change, so putting my wallet on the back pocket is just a pain in the backside when i sit, so i keep it in front.

I also realise that putting it in my front pockets make me look weird, but i dont really care. Easy access is my preference =]

It's way easier to get your wallet out of your back pocket than out of your front pocket while sitting. And in some pants even while standing, I'm an expert thrust me.

I usually use front pockets for phone & wallet and backet pockets for everything else. Back pockets are more comfortable but I'm way too paranoid to put anything of value in there.

I keep my wallet in my front trousers pocket. It feels safer there and more comfortable. I didn't even know people would be stupid enough to keep it in their arse pocket.

Mine is always in the front. I go to too many festivals and shit to be comfortable having anything of value in a back pocket...

Having it in the back does seem kinda dim to me if I'm being honest.

I can give an example of why a person would do that quite simply.

Touch my bum, don't be shy~

Pocket size difference mostly.

See, I used to put my wallet in my back pocket; then I went to Germany for a year and decided to put it in my front pocket to "go with the flow." Ended up liking it a lot more than the back-pocket thing.

I keep my wallet in my front pocket attached to 2 chains which are both clipped onto my belt-loops.

That's why it's called a keister. It comes from the German kiste and the Yiddish kestl meaning strong box. It became pickpocket slang for the back pocket where many carried their valuables. Which means the word keister was a minced oath since it did not refer to the ass but an article of clothing that is over the ass. So saying, "I'm going to kick you in the keister," originally was the same as saying, "I'm going to kick you in the pants," a way to refer to the ass without being vulgar and directly naming it. Over time, the original meaning of the back pocket was lost and now keister just means ass.

I don't know, it's just seems it where it wants to go. My dad carries it there, so it just passed on to me i guess. My left front has my keys and a light and my right front carries my folding knife and SAK. Then I throw my phone in my lower leg pocket (carpenter pants). Unless I'm going to be somewhere in a large crowd, than in will ride in a jacket/front pants pocket.

I always keep my wallet in my front right pocket. My cellphone and keys go in my front left pocket. Back pockets are kept empty because it is uncomfortable to sit on stuff.

 

[Communist partisan]

I keep it in my back pocket because I can, I also keep my phone and keys in my front pockets and those are even worse to sit on.

I've also never met a man who tried to steal from a skinhead or that ever walked in less than a 1-2m radius of me, haha!

I once rigged an empty wallet with a pull-cord firecracker and then left it very openly in sight in my back pocket. An hour later I got... notified in the subway that a pickpocket was around.

My wallet, I don't feel as uncomfortable when I sit on it, but I feel it as I walk,so I'll know if it's gone. My bus passes are in my back left pocket, wallet in the right back, keys and change in front left and cell phone in right.

Just a balance

so basically, you set off explosives in someone's hand next to a pouch of valuable paper attached to your ass.
you m'good sir, are a genius.

Left-Front Pocket with Cell Phone, Right-Front Pocket with Keys and Wallet = Top Tier

Those clip things (pocket clip? not sure what actual name is) that hold money and cards work a lot better than a wallet for me.
