Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It's been kind of the default for generations so much it's a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They're generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

Phone on the other hand, I don't get either. They're rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Wallet in the back pocket has cost me nearly 6-figures in medical bills for back pain over the years.

Wallet in back pocket = back pain. It’s pressing on your sciatica. Keep it in your front pocket, or get cargo pants.

Anecdotal. I keep a trim wallet and have never had back pain.

I usually declutter my wallet after it hits the three pound level .... or the leather explodes.

*sciatic nerve. "sciatica" is the kind of pain caused by compression of the nerve.

I agree. I was just stating "it makes sense". Small wallet for the front pocket. Can't always wear cargo lol

Can't always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

..is this a humble brag about how heavy your wallet is from all your gold doubloons? 🀨

I just take the phone out when I sit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I'm crazy forgetful. I'd 100% break it in my back pocket lol

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'd go crazy if I had to sit with a lump under one ass cheek.

First world problems. "My wallet is so thick that I call it a lump".

? My "wealth" such as it is is 2 credit cards, a debit card, and an id. If you're carrying around every card you have, you have no plan. Figure out your spending to maximize credit card points. Why would I have my travel credit card with me in the grocery store? I'd have my everyday points card.

Don't you ever just get the urge to keep on driving and never go back?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I love this comment

If don't have your travel credit card, you'll miss out on points while escaping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

When did I suggest I was escaping? I'm at the grocery store.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you get anything good at the grocery store?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Always. Cash back too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

My empty wallet is still a lump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Don't disagree. Small wallet for front pocket is my go to. Just was saying "it makes sense".
