I’m right handed, but I keep my phone in my left pocket since I like to be able to pull out my phone to check the map or msgs while using my primary hand for another activity.
When texting, I usually use both hands but certainly can type with just my left hand.
Where do you keep your phone & why?
I put away my phone in the opposite pocket from my keys. When I retrieve it, I always pull it out of the same pocket as my keys. Not sure what that’s all about.
Nice try, pickpocket on the metro
👀
For me it was always clear to have my wallet in my right pocket and my phone in the left one. I never questioned this until now…
Same to me lol
I didn’t mention this in the post ~ but I keep both my phone & wallet in my left pocket (I have a slim wallet though).
The right pocket is for keychain, pocket knife, loose coins, etc. Generally “unsorted” things.
That’s my setup too! Phone and modern carry card case in the front left, keys in the front right.
Phone right front. Wallet right back.
Keys left front. You can’t keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.
Consistency means I always know if I’ve forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There’s never searching or wondering where they’ve gone.
My parents taught me to never keep my wallet in my back pocket due to the risk of causing back problems.
I use a really thin non-folding wallet. Sometimes it’s in the back and sometimes I put it in the front pocket for more security.
I’ve seen some of the 4 inch thick wallets that people sit on. No idea how or why.
Well, lookee here at Mr. Moneybags who actually has enough bills for that to be a concern! \s
I use a very thin bifold wallet like this (stock photo; not my ID):
Mine is currently 13.6 mm thick, folded with all my cards and stuff in it. (I happen to have a set of Vernier calipers sitting on my desk in front of me so I went ahead and measured, LOL.)
I used to keep mine in my back pocket, then I noticed that my leg would go numb during long drives. Kinda put two and two together and started keeping it in the front pocket.
Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ
Spot on. This is EXACTLY my answer. Same logic behind it and everything.
Nice try pickpocketer!
haha, thieves noting where they put their wallets 😂
Left, because my keys are in my right pocket and I don’t want to scratch the phone
Same. Left pocket is phone, and phone alone.
Right pocket is everything else.
Right handed, right pocket 95% of the time. Occasionally I catch myself using the left pocket if for whatever reason storing it in the right requires an awkward movement.
Right handed, left pocket.
When I was deciding what went where, I drove a car with actual locks and cell phones were really only for calls, you didn’t spend all day looking at it. So my keys spent more time in my hands than my phone did.
Now it’s a habit and I can’t change it.
Samesies. My keys always went in my right pocket so when cellphones came along that went to the left front pocket to protect it from my keys.
I use whichever pocket is handy, and I can be seen checking all my pockets every 45 seconds to remind me which pocket my phone is in, lest I need it.
Rinse and repeat.The “white man’s haka” in my country
Wallet and Keys in left pocket, phone and everything else in right.
I never use the back pocket.
Right handed, left pocket.
Car keys in right pocket. Phone in left. I think it’s because cell phones weren’t very common when I started driving, haha. So my keys beat my phone to the right pocket by about 2 years or so.
Yeah I got my first phone around the time I started driving, and then it really only had enough minutes for emergencies or letting my parents know where I’d be. Also I start the car with my right hand so left pocket seems silly.
Pocket? I keep everything in a cross body bag.
This is the way. I’ve used a purse for years and it is so much better.
Hmm, what size bag do you use?
Big enough to hold my personal phone, work phone, 9" tablet, wallet, passport, my medical gear, and my concealed carry handgun. ;) Decent sized!
I have the same bag in a slightly larger size if I want to pack my Steam Deck. LOL.
it’s called a fanny pack no matter how you wear it
No apologies! :)
I keep my phone in my right pocket and keys in the left pocket. I started this habit in high school in 1998 when I got my first phone and just have carried the habit along, it is the most convenient for me.
Left. Because my keys, cigarettes, and lighter are in the right and there’s no more room for the phone.
