so basically, you set off explosives in someone's hand next to a pouch of valuable paper attached to your ass.snagli said: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.
Carrying a wallet increases your chances of being wholly robbed. I have seen programmes about how to steal a wallet from any pocket, inside jacket pockets, back pockets, front pockets and everything inbetween.Soviet Heavy said:I just find it weird. Every other guy I know keeps their wallets in their back pockets. I don't understand this logic. It makes them easier to steal, since pickpockets hit your blind spots, and it is uncomfortable to sit on.
I've always kept my wallet in my front pocket so it is more comfortable to sit down on a bus or a chair, and I usually walk with my hands in my pockets, so I can hold it and know it is still there.
So yeah, weird quirk of mine I guess. Anyone else do the same? Any other social norms that you find crazy?
This is the main reason for me. I live in a small town where pickpocketing probably isn't a huge thing, but that would be added incentive. I just hate sitting on the thing, so I always put it in my front let pocket with my keys, then my cell phone in my right pocket so it doesn't get scratched.Soviet Heavy said:I've always kept my wallet in my front pocket so it is more comfortable to sit down on a bus or a chair, and I usually walk with my hands in my pockets, so I can hold it and know it is still there.
But lumpy, bulging thighs are so in this season. It's cottage cheese chic.Woodsey said:a) Wallets look ridiculous in front pockets (a phone in the left, my house key in the right, anything more and you generally look like an idiot)
Pretty sure I'd get arrested.standokan said:I'm an expert thrust me.

About midway through, we see the horrors of having too large a wallet on one side of the ass.
