Why? I mean, you sit down and boom your phone is broken and it's so easy to steal.

Sorry for the rant.

 

[Fulminator]

I've seen women mostly do this , not usually men.

It's because they have no front pockets

 

[CitizenVectron]

Sorry for the rant.

No problem, but next time provide a tl;dr:

 

[Alcotholic]

Girls front pockets are small or nonexistent.
I've never seen a guy keep a phone in their back pocket.

 

[HvySky]

Agreed. I used to be a back pocketer until I realized the error of my ways. Front right pocket for life.

Yes, this.

Not much of rant lol. I put my work phone in my back pocket because I don't care what happens to it and it frees up my front pocket.

One and done.

 

[Ricky_R]

Mine is always on the back left pocket. It's quite comfortable for me and I always take it off whenever I sit down.

Also, my phone OCD usually lasts 2 or three months or when I drop it the first time, specially since I hate rocking phone covers.

 

[Media]

Women don't have front pockets worth a damn, so we keep phones on our back pockets (if we have them). We generally take the phone out before sitting.

Yeah, but I know a couple women who let their phone drop in the toilet this way. Purse seems the best option, but if you don't have one on you there's not much you can do.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

I usually see mostly girls do this.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

i dont keep anything in my back pockets i dont like sitting down and feeling lopsided or having my stuff easier to steal

 

[bosseye]

Sorry for the rant.

Calm down.

Front left pocket fo' lyf.

 

[Skittles]

I don't get why people put their wallets in the back pocket. Like tf, why do you want to sit on that?

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i keep my phone in my left pocket. my right pocket has keys.

 

[Crayons]

I like putting my phone in my back pocket because it shifts your focus onto my ass

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Animals.

Sorry for the rant.

the hot women I gawk at are too trim to break a phone with their weight.

Plus, having a phone there gives me an excuse to stare there.

“Babe wtf you’re just staring at her ass!”
“Nah I was just checking her phone out. I think that’s an Edge”

Tragedy averted 😎

I keep my phone in my back pocket, because I have no front pockets and I want to avoid carrying a purse sometimes. I've never broken a phone before and I've definitely never broken one while sitting down. The phone and pocket shifts, so you're weight is not on the phone. Then you just reach down and grab it (because you can feel it sliding out).

 

[Vivalaraza]

I don't get why people put their wallets in the back pocket. Like tf, why do you want to sit on that?

Hello

I do this

Phone front right

Keys front left

Wallet back left

 

[FrontalMonk]

phone goes in the left, keys go in the right. where else you supposed to put your wallet?

[Yukiari]

I put my phone in my back pocket all the time, like it's in their right now because front pockets on girly business pants only fit like two fingers in them. I can break my phone this way?

 

[WaffleTaco]

I have never once broken a phone doing this OP

 

[CitizenVectron]

If any of you have girlfriends, tell them to try out men's skinny-jeans/khakis once. It changed my gf's opinion on what to buy (though she still gets her own normal pants). They are still form-fitting, but have actual pockets.

 

[John Harker]

Gotta keep it as far away from the little guys as possible.

Back pocket when walking (if not wearing a jacket), face down on Table whenever seated.

 

[Skittles]

I keep mine with my keys

 

[ShemhazaiX]

OP is out of touch. No one sits down with their phones in the pockets anymore, because they're too busy being glued to the screen.

Seriously though. I always thought it was dumb that women's clothes don't have decent pockets. Is there any reason for that?

Can we get a hash tag protest over it at all? It's the real problem with society.

I always do this. It's called gorilla glass and I'm not 300 pounds.

 

[Compbros]

I'm a guy and I keep mine in my back pocket while walking but take it out before I sit down. Even if I'm moving too fast and sit down before I remember to take it out my case has protected it from all those mishaps. Honestly I don't even know why I put it in my back pocket.

 

[The Faceless Master]

iirc the last thread about this had people posting articles about how sitting like that gives you back problems.

does cellular radiation kill sperm or something?

i've seen reports saying the same about wallets for years

 

[mr stroke]

Back left pocket is the only way to roll

No one wants an iPhone 7 Plus in their front pocket, gross

 

[Venfayth]

Keys in front left, wallet phone case in front right. Nothing in the back pockets ever, except like receipts or something.

 

[Cappa]

Why? I mean, you sit down and boom your phone is broken and it's so easy to steal.

Sorry for the rant.

or take your phone out from your back pocket before sitting down? lol

 

[tbm24]

My ex and my wife did this, both of them have had their phones fall in the toilet because that one time they forgot. Got my wife to finally stop doing it.

 

[Spoony Bob]

My dad does this and his last phone eventually stopped charging which he blames on the curve it ended up with because of this. I'm not sure if he does the same with his new phone.

 

[Nepenthe]

I only do this on work hours because I've been told it looks more professional by management. I don't like it much because I stop noticing it immediately, meaning it's probably easier to steal than it'd otherwise be. However, I'd never forget about it before sitting down; I use it on break.

 

[Alucrid]

we take our phone out of our back pocket when we sit down?

 

[Waylon Drums]

I keep mine with my keys

Exactly. Why would anyone use their back pockets? For anything?

 

[louiedog]

Pro-tip: When being photographed for anything someone might want to keep around put your phone in your back pocket to avoid immortalizing its bulging outline in your front pocket.

Otherwise who cares?

 

[John Harker]

does cellular radiation kill sperm or something

Of course. There’s been plenty of studies in the past on it. It takes a lot of exposure and close proximity, but this is still a relatively new phenomenon - humans ubiquitously having radiation generating devices with near constant contact with skin. It’ll be years before we really understand the long term effects.

And anyway, there’s too much money in the tech business and consumer need for people to really educate and accept it.

So why take any risk?

I carry it in jacket pockets, back pockets or tables.
Little skin contact as possible, and I use wired headsets when I talk on it to keep it away from my head. It’s all reutine now, don’t even think about it.

Your avatar spooked me. Thought a great person came back whose username I've sadly forgotten. Fiction? She was an awesome poster.

Not that you are not awesome too.

Also phones in back pocket or anything in back pockets suck.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Always back pocket. I'm keeping it as far away from my junk as possible. I always take my phone and wallet out before sitting down anyway.

 

[Jake.]

i keep my wallet in my back right and my phone in my back left. both get taken out when i sit down. i find anything beyond a train ticket or something to be annoying in my front pocket/s.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Why? I mean, you sit down and boom your phone is broken and it's so easy to steal.

Seriously calm tf down

 

[Gin-Shiio]

Really, who gives a shit.

 

[inner-G]

I lost my phone for like an hour the other day and turns out it was in my back pocket

I must have put it in there while I was up on a ladder

 

[Captain Pants]

I always take my phone and wallet out before sitting down anyway.

I don't know why, but this just seems like it would turn sitting into an annoyance, along with drastically increasing the chances that I'd leave my phone and wallet somewhere.
