More than that. There is a chance that the wallet will pop out without you knowing, or someone could steal it VERY easily. You don't have eyes in the back of your head.

Carry it in your front pocket, or do what many guys do nowadays, wear a sling bag, and put your wallet in there (along with your handheld gadgets and books)

PROTIP: Carrying a sling bag will free up your pockets, and you won't have nasty looking bulges in your jeans. You also don't have to fumble with finding pockets for all your things. Get a stylin' sling bag to match your clothes. Women are smart to carry purses.

ive actually had someone try to steal my wallet from my back pocket, and i felt it.. if anything. having it in a sling bag would make it easier for someone to steal. womens wallets get stollen all the time from their purses.

but the pinched nerve/misalignment thing is a bit worrisome.

I've taken a wallet from a friend's back pocket without him knowing. He stopped putting his wallet there after that.

Sling bags go over one shoulder, and rest on the opposite hip, which means if a thief tries to steal your bag, he'll have to drag it over your neck first. Sling bags are also typically made out of thick nylon, making it harder to cut open. Most sling bags use a front flap that goes over the opening, making it impossible for a thief to reach in to steal your wallet.

Women's purses are easier to steal as they hang on the same shoulder as the bag. They are also made out of various easy to cut materials such as leather. My wife's aunt lost her belongings when someone cut open her purse without her knowing.

Typically, you are safe if you are on the move when carrying a sling bag, but are vulnerable when stopped in crowded areas, like a subway. Keep the bag in front of you so it's in your view at all times. Women's purses are always on the side, making the back of the bag a blind spot.

edit: now I sound like a thief... :lol

um. im not talking about stealing the whole bag.. it can easily be opened and shit can be taken without you noticing. your back pocket is actually touching your ass (unless you wear pretty baggy jeans/pants, which i assume you friend did).. the sling bag/purse has more of a buffer.. makes it much easier to stealth-pocket things.

and do you really walk around with the bag in front of you?

 

[sykoex]

I don't get. Could you explain?

In case the repair shop tries to run shenanigans on you (i.e. trying to give back a different PC than the one you brought in).

 

[Particle Physicist]

I don't get. Could you explain?

they may take parts out and replace them with shitter parts.

 

[jonnybryce]

That is actually VERY cool.

It's also not always true. Many cars, especially older ones, do not abide by this.

 

[radiantdreamer]

and do you really walk around with the bag in front of you?

No, you walk with it to your side. Walking with it in front of you would look stupid.

You shift the bag in front of you when you are in a crowded subway train.

Bags take much more effort to get into in order to steal stuff... except for backpacks, those are super easy. People wearing backpacks are so used to people bumping into their bag that they won't notice if someone had quickly grabbed something from one of the pockets.

I'm learning so much from this thread. Best subscription ever!

To get the most of of life, you have to fail at many things. It's the only way to know what you're truly good at. You also get a lot of experience along the way.

Someone who tells you the secrets of everyone around you is the same someone telling your secrets to everyone.

The person you know from day one will most likely be the same person on their last day.


Adopt a pet, if possible.

meh. too much work! front pocket for me

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Keeping your wallet in your back pocket is fine. Just get a big wallet! My wallet is like twice the size of normal wallets as it's actually a passport wallet. It's so big that I have trouble getting it out of my pocket for personal use. A pick pocket isn't going anywhere with it unless he's going to cut the damn thing out of my pants. Also, sitting on your wallet is great. It gives your wallet a nice, defined ass groove. My wallet is ergonomically adapted to my ass.

 

[jonnybryce]

The arrow never lies, I'm saying that there are cars that will not have an arrow to begin with, so this is not always a way to figure this out. Some people then say that the side the gas nozzle is on is a replacement for the arrow, but this is completely false. Some cars just lack an indicator.

Never have a bath after murdering someone. Any DNA of the other person on you will wash up as evidence on the side of the bath.. Best to clean yourself off in a lake somewhere, a good place to go is the Lake District.


When getting into a fight with an unknown, always stand side-on with your strongest side facing your victim attacker there's an 85% chance that you won't get stabbed in a vital organ, since it's easier to see the stab coming, and to move out of the way or block.

"It's s deadly disease called edema, bastard! Go to hell!"

:lol You see? Just don't compliment women, It can always go wrong.

edema is a symptom not a disease...

and its generally not deadly.

Cardiac tamponade, aortic dissections etc now now those are deadly!


BTW: dysentery is a symptom as well but even after being expressly told this fact our following lecture (by the same guy) was about how dysentery is a possibly fatal disease... oh well lol

 

[lsslave]

No matter how bad you have it someone will have it worse than you, and as bad as that person has it they will still feel sympathy for you.

Smile, get off your ass, and enjoy life to the best of your abilities or else your just wasting oxygen!


Thats my tip for life

 

[Hitokage]

Eating a full meal after fasting for 16-20 hours(awake or asleep) will override your normal circadian rhythm and have your internal clock set to wake up at that time.

Protip, put small amounts of oil and salt into water when boiling water for pasta/noodles/dumplings.

"That oil doesn't actually do anything."

 

[G-Pink]

Another tip. Finish post secondary school. Unless you plan on creating a job for yourself.

Giving your mushrooms a quick rinse won't do much to them either.

 

[morningbus]

"That oil doesn't actually do anything."

He did later amend it, slightly. The conventional wisdom that it prevents noodles from sticking together is wrong, but the oil will break the surface tension of the water and prevent that starchy foam up. However, he suggests just using a large pot instead of wasting oil

Oh, and the more I think about it the more I realize Good Eats is one of my favorite shows. So, protip: Watch Good Eats and learn to cook.

Yeah. I meant to find a picture solely with just the arrow indicator, but Google images and my own laziness failed me.

Sorry for the ambiguity.

Orange Juice actually contains way more sugar and is less healthy than you think. You're better off eating an orange.

Wonderbread and all their "nutrients" are in such small doses, you need to eat like, 20 loaves before there is remotely any positive effect. By then, you'll also have a lot of negative effects.

Dammit, I was going to add that to my post and forgot. On a forum such as this where there are many quick posts(more than the average forum I'd say), then yeah you should probably refresh before posting especially if it's something like a back and forth discussion. A lot of the forums I post on aren't nearly as active so it's usually pretty safe to post. If you are just reading the thread, then no harm, no foul.

I usually do that with google searches, or when opening images in galleries. It's very useful.

If you want to optimize your time even further and not have to constantly go through levels of directories to get to frequently used files, you can create bookmarks to them in a desktop folder, or use a program called Filebox Extender.

More protips, now for dealing with women:

- Women do not like qualities, merits or personal behaviour, women likes or dislikes persons. Changing your behaviour, doing favours or changing habits it is not going to make a women like you more or less than she already did. It is not about sending flowers, it is that you are not the type of person that sends flowers.

- If a women accuse you of something that you have not done, get offended instead of trying to appease or calm her, if you do the previous actions will be interpretatedas guilty.

- There are men that women tends to like or dislike more for no apparent or rational reason. This has been mistified and romantized to hell and back, but do not be decieved: it is, simply put, hormonal. Humans rather to do not understand it and keep treating it as a "mystery" because women do not want to admit it, while men do not want to face it. It is not a mystery, it is just one of the many unfair things of life, just deal with it.

- The art of seduction is the art of convincing your desired one that you are the type of person that she likes instead of the one that you are. The true masters not only are they able to pull it off, but also to convince them that what they were searching on the first place was your true type of person instead.

- Women are as sex driven as men are, they just do not exteriorize nor admit it as much because of the preassure of society.

Proof:

The question itself is "stupid" simply because the statement was misunderstood. All he was doing was asking for clarification. This is not a stupid question. Evidence denied.

Why would a car manufacturer put the arrow pointing to the side the gas tank is not on?

 

[tekumseh]

It affects the way you sit which can pinch nerves and mess up your alignment back there.

Quoted for truth. I've had constant back troubles for over 10 years. I can target the EXACT day they began. I was driving for about 10 hours total coming home to Indiana from Boulder, CO. I NEVER left my billfold in my pocket when I drove, except for that day. It only happened because I was so distracted because my Mom was in the hospital suffering with cancer. Once we were stopped for driving for the day, I noticed a twinge in my back. It's never gone away and only gotten worse over time.
