Why Keep Your Wallet In Your Back Pocket?

[Ashannon Blackthorn]

I use the front pocket for ease of my own use and to keep a better eye of things. Otherwise I keep it in the inside of my jacket, zipped up. If a pickpocket can get inside my jacket, undo the button and get the wallet, damn, he deserves it.

I have a system: phone and Ipod left, keys right, wallet righ back. if it's too full I just keep the change with the keys.

I follow the "utility latitude" rule, where everything at hand has to be between the middle of my hips and my belly button. Phone, keys, wallet, iPod, game, etc.
If I'm in an area I feel will cause loss of property, things shift and I get handsy with my property, checking and rechecking its positions.

It makes me guilty of doing that thing where you check for an object while you're physically using said object.

When I'm walking I sometimes put it in my back pocket because I like to keep my hands in my front pockets. Though when I sit down I do switch it to my front pocket because as you said it is uncomfortable to sit on.

Wallet goes front right, ipod and phone front left, and keys in my front right if I don't have my bag with me.

It's physically impossible for me to jam my wallet into my back pocket. Mostly because I'm not wearing pants, but if I was, my wallet is about 15-20 cms big and about an inch thick. AND YES, IT'S COMPLETELY OKAY BECAUSE IT HOLDS ALL MY CARDS.

Because having a wad of bills crumpled against my ass reminds me of my strippin' days.

Thong dollaz.

I keep my wallet in the back pocket, mainly so I can keep my phone and keys in the front two.

That and I don't live in an Oliver Twist type world, living in constant fear of pick pockets.

It's pretty common knowledge that pickpockets actually specifically target people with their wallets in their back pockets, simply because it's so much easier to lift.

Over here almost no-one seems to care about the economy so no-one really protests.

I keep my wallet and key in my front right pocket, with my iPod and phone in the front left. Never really felt comfortable with my wallet in a back pocket.

I have to much stuff in my front pockets to use it. Also, its what i saw most others do. Humans are weird like that

Pretty much this. I used to keep it in my front pocket, but my pockets got filled up with other stuff as I got it, and so I moved it to my back pocket. At this point, it's just habit.

When my grandfather got me my first wallet, the first thing he said was "Don't put it in your back pocket, it'll make your ass lopsided." Well, i took those words to heart and stuck the wallet in my front right pocket. been there ever since.

Phone and keys go into my front left, Wallet goes into my right.

I've always wondered that too! It seems like it would be the most uncomfortable thing ever! Granted I'm a chick and keep my wallet in my purse so I wouldn't know.

Left Pocket: Wallet and flash drives
Right pocket: Cell phone and keys
Back pocket: Nothing so I can sit comfortably!

My wallet is reasonably large, and the corners tend to fuck up my jeans when it's in one of the side pockets. That said, I keep mine in the lining pocket of my coat, because the idea of my pockets being picked terrifies me.
