What if you’re wearing cargo pants?
What if you’re wearing a shoulder bag?
What if you’re wearing something with only two pockets?
What if you have a jacket on?
Where, oh where do your things go???
Phone front left Keys and wallet front right
I have a slimline wallet and a clamshell phone.
Hmmm… Left handed? I have the same setup, but on the opposite sides (thick wallet, but it fits, and I don’t care how it looks).
+ right back pocket for important stuff (tissues, paper tickets, notes), left back for rubbish.
Nope, right pocket for keys because I usually hold the dog on the left when carrying him out to pee. It lets me lock the door easily while holding the dog.
Front left: Keys, wallet
Front right: Phone
Back left: Use prohibited. Only use in case of emergency
Back right: Use prohibited. Only use in case of emergencyIn case I need to carry by foot: A sling bag (volume about 5L) which is enough for city trips and holds a power bank, a charging kit (powerbank + chord), a cotton bag and sunglasses
In case I need to carry more by foot: A backpackIn case by bike: A bike pack that goes on the bicycle rack
I wear jeans with two pockets. The left pocket contains my wallet and keys, the right pocket contains my phone. I also carry a small backpack with miscellaneous things (umbrella, extra battery and phone charger, medicine, etc).
- Left front: keys, beeswax lip balm, contact lens eyedrops
- Right front: phone
- Left rear: alcohol cleaning swabs, needlenose pliers
- Right rear: wallet
- Left cargo: device failure “toe tags”, work phone
- Right cargo: work keys, microfiber cloth
- Right “cell phone pocket”: bit driver with ~6 bits in the handle
- Shirt collar: mini phillips/flathead screwdriver, pen
- Shoulder bag: laptop, flash/external drives, power bank, chargers, cables, and adapters
- Jacket: gloves & lighter right pocket, foldable earmuffs left pocket, mini cigars inside pocket
Two pockets is pretty much only a swimsuit, lol. I skip all the work stuff and mostly stick with phone and wallet/keys. Is it weird that even at max, I don’t carry a knife of any kind? I find the mini screwdriver works for most situations…
Phone in left front, wallet in front right, keys split between two.
Phone in right front, keys in left front, wallet in back right. If there’s only two pockets, keys and wallet go together in left pocket. If I have a bag I might toss my keys in it but I probably won’t. If I’m wearing a jacket or coat then the keys and phone will probably end up in the left and right pockets, respectively, but I will still reflexively try to find them in my pants pockets and then go “oh wait, right.”
I don’t usually take my wallet with me since most things are on my phone now, but if I need to it goes in my back right pocket unless I’m sitting down. My phone goes in my right pocket and my keys go in my left.
If I’m wearing cargo pants I might put my wallet in a lower pocket. I should get cargo pants.
Shoulder bag, everything goes in the bag except my phone (unless I’m doing something where I shouldn’t be looking at my phone, then it also goes in the bag.
Two pockets, my wallet would go in my left pocket with my keys.
Jacket doesn’t affect where things go, jacket pockets are for my hands. Although sometimes when wearing my hoodie my phone goes in the hoodie pocket.Nice try, pickpocket. Nice try…
I started carrying a sling bag with me everywhere now. So everything goes there except my phone which I keep in my front left pocket.
Nice try, pickpocket!
Keys somewhere right, phone in the pocket inside my jacket, rest wherever.
Left trouser pocket:
- phone (moved to left pocket of fleece jacket if worn)
- paper towel
- bike keys if at work
Right trouser pocket:
- keys (attached by string to an ID card hanging from a belt loop if at work)
Right leg pocket if at work:
- hand sanitizer, sometimes 2 bottles
Edge of shirt collar:
- 1-2 ballpoint pens hanging inside shirt
Nice try, local pickpocket.
So many doing front left for phone, that’s just weird to me unless you’re left handed.
Front Right: Phone
Back Left: Flattened & folded plastic shopping bag(s)
Back Right: Wallet
Belt Hooks: Keys
Front left is the ‘all the other shit’ pocket. Currently this contains:
- 6 flash drives totalling around 500GB
- Lighter
- £4.25 in loose change
- Flipper 0
- Trolley token
- Multitool with knife, needle, pen, tweezers, ruler, magnet, cross driver
- 3 dog shit bags (empty)
I’m guessing it’s so the phone doesn’t interfere with a weapon
Not weird at all. I reach into my left pocket for my phone with my left hand and am ready to operate it with my right hand. Having it in my right pocket would be awkward.
Knife, keys, and pen go into left pocket, phone goes into right pocket, wallet goes into back right or right cargo pocket depending on what I’m wearing.
Bags and jackets don’t change the base config, they just allow for more stuff. The exception is motorbike gear - then things move to the jacket pockets for comfort/accessibility.
I don’t have the issue of only having two pockets because I simply don’t buy regular pants/shorts with such a poor pocket selection.
