Why Keep Your Wallet In Your Back Pocket?

[Blemontea]

I have always kept my wallet in the outside breast pocket of my jacket... forget i said that ANYWAY!! I keep it there because its blocked by two iron buttons keeping the flap down and my other breast pocket fools people by keeping my phone in keys in it to make the pockets look the exact same. Even after that, they dont look like they have something in them and my MAN boobies are way to high for anyone to reach HAHA got you now short people!! snark snark

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?

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.

I carry my cash loose, cards in different pockets (I mean debit card in one and ID in another) and notes in a different pocket. They take your wallet and you have nothing left.

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

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.

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)

But lumpy, bulging thighs are so in this season. It's cottage cheese chic.

I'm an expert thrust me.

Pretty sure I'd get arrested.

Wallet in the back. Move it if I'm going to be sitting for a long while, because it will dig into my bony ass.

Because there's a chain on my wallet, and it looks silly if it's not in my back-pocket.

That is all.

Never had my wallet stolen from my back pocket. Through I didn't carry it most of the time when I was in the Philippines, which might have been a good decision.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

cause than you keep at least one buttock fairly in shape. Pretty weird when you pull it out after sitting down for a while...

 

[Alar]

I keep mine in my right pocket, typically, and my phone and keys in the left.

 

[Jnat]

I keep it in my left pocket along with everything else except my keys.

There is really only one relevant for this thread:


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

*Looks at post* ....*Looks at same episode on TV at that moment*

Well done sir


OT: Who doesn't like ass warmed cash?

I keep it in my back pocket when walking but take it out whenever I sit down because I can't stand how it feels. My best friend mocked me for it once, yet moments later he was complaining about his bad back getting worse every time he sits down. Interesting...

Because my front left pocket has my phone, front right has my keys and various writing utensils, and my back has my wallet. I'm actually aware of my body so I could tell if someone was trying to take something from my back pocket and I've gotten so used to having it there that it feels weird when I take it out.

I've become almost obsessed with having my pockets this exact way, as well. Otherwise it feels weird. I would say it's a good thing, because now if I'm missing one of these things I'll notice.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I don't keep anything in my back pockets. Everything I carry goes into either my front pockets or my jumper pockets.

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

My keys and phone are in one, my iPod in the other. If I put my wallet with either it becomes difficult to get things out of my pocket quickly, so I use my back pocket.

If I'm wearing a coat or have a bag though, I don't use my back pockets for anything but receipts and wrappers. Coat internal pockets are great.

nope, being the absolute volcano that i am (i am always fucking hot, i only wear jeans when it gets below zero) i always wear kacki shorts for the most part, so i always stick it in my side pocket down low with it buttoned up, so good luck stealing that for one thing, and its the most comfortable because its on the side so i don't have to worry about it at all.

otherwise, yeah i agree, backpocket fucking sucks, so damn uncomfortable.

Wallet goes in the back pocket because it doesn't slip out.

Anything in my front pockets can slide right out if I lay down. Back pocket is very secure.

 

[DSK-]

I've always put my wallet in my front right pocket, so I can feel it's there. I put my phone in my back pocket.

 

[Jegsimmons]

easy to steal? maby if you had no nerve ending in your ass, i keep in in my back pocket because its easy to whip out and keeps my front pockets free and it doesn't feel awkward.

one guy did try to steal my wallet but like most people i felt it turned around and upper cutted that son of a *****.

I have that exact same mind set as you on this subject. back pocket = stupid.
