universetwisters Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm asking out of pure and legit curiosity, do you keep your wallet in your front or back pocket? I always keep my wallet in my front pocket, seeing as I've got some awful fear that if I put something in my back pocket, some dick will sneak up behind me and pull it out all secretey and sh*t. I also put my phone, ipod, keys, etc. in my front pockets. What about you guys? Prootaintonry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadRunner71 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Front. I feel like it's safer to carry it there. However, sometimes, when I'm rushing to take the subway and I need the metro card it can be kind of difficult to take it out, depending on the jeans I have. Instead, I carry the loose change in the back pockets and often the keys too. The problem with the keys in the back pockets starts when you sit... though there they are handier to take if you are carrying some load or rushing. The perfection can be complicated.

yakuza warlord Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Keep your wallet in your back pocket but take it out when you're driving. Sitting on your wallet while driving over a long period of time can cause some back pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamann123 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Wallet in front left. Both cell phones and keys in my front right. Nothing in my back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I used to carry a wallet. I stopped carrying in my back pocket when it fell out without my knowledge while sitting. Then I moved it to the front (as suggested by Police pickpocket detectives). Now I spread my stuff around and keep the wallet (reduced content) in a 'fanny pack' holster.

TheGodDamnMaster Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Front. Putting your wallet in the back pockets is like bait for pick-pocketers. On rare occasion I'll put a piece of paper in my back pocket, usually because most papers I get are most likely to get thrown out.

DEALUX Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) but the back easier to use. Hardly. Unless your wallet is huge, then I agree. However, it also depends on the size of your pockets. I mostly wear jeans that are spacious. I don't have a wallet. I used to have one but I never used it. I'll probably buy one after I get my driver's license so I won't forget to bring the license and id with me when necessary, but then again, I don't see much use for it. I've been carrying stuff in my pockets all my life and never really lost anything.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) My mom got me my first legitimate wallet on my 13th birthday (and it's lasted nearly 5 years so far!) and she cracked up when I stuffed it into my jacket pocket. "Haha, you're supposed to put it in your back pocket." So I do. I don't carry it around much either. You could always get a biker chain, or maybe a safety pin if you're worried about pick pockets.

I've been carrying stuff in my pockets all my life and never really lost anything. I think the back is far easier than the front, for most clothes not by a huge margin, but front pockets are always angled oddly and make it difficult for my hands to fit in and grasp the wallet to pull it back out at the right angle. Slim fitting jeans (Note I say slim fit, not skin fit) are especially bad for this because pockets are tight. The back pocket is a straight in and out affair, no angles to work with, and with jeans the back pocket is reasonably loose compared to the front, thus it is more practical for ease of use. Also the other reason I use my back pocket is because I am right handed, I hold my phone in my right hand so I use my front right pocket for it, then I pull it out and can easily unlock it because the unlock button is on the right hand side, perfect for thumbs, I also have a pin which is far easier on my more coordinated right hand to input. I then reserve my back pocket for my wallet, my back right pocket, because again, I am right handed and can get into it and out faster than my left hand. Sure I could put both items in my right pocket, but then it becomes too heavy against my leg, and bulgy and bounces up and down if I walk with briskness or jog across the road from a car, and that bothers me. Really utilizing the back pocket is an exercise in efficiency.

Killerdude Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Back, I got a heavy wallet, I'd know almost instantaneously if it was being lifted, in the meantime, Save the extra pocket space for receipts and other sh*t i happen to put in there and forget about.

DEALUX Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 @finn4life I guess you are right, but since my front pockets are spacious enough it makes sense to put it in there since the back pockets are not as safe (for me at least). I am also right-handed and I carry my phone in my front-left pocket. Weird, but that's what I'm used to for some reason. I generally use my phone with my left hand and it just feel more safe having my stuff in my left pocket for some reason. It probably has something to do with using my right hand to open doors, shake people's hands or wave and stuff. I used to think it was a macho thing to walk with your hands in your pockets, but now I do it because it's more comfortable for me to walk that way and I can also secure my items.

.2D Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've never, ever put anything valuable in my back pockets. Apart from things you put in there having an easy time falling out when you sit down, it's surprisingly easy for a half decent pickpocket to grab a wallet out of there.

DeafMetal Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I have my pockets OCD-ed to sh*t. Front left pocket = cellphone, paper currency, notes, anything paper Front right pocket = keys, pens/pencils, knives, coins, anything metal Back left pocket = wallet Back right pocket = NOTHING must never be touched for no particular reason And same as Killerdude8, I got a hefty wallet and I usually wear loose-fitting pants, so no way for my wallet to fall unless my pants are literally down. If someone tries to jack it, I'd feel it since it takes a bit of effort to take it out myself. Edited October 13, 2013 by DeafMetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
