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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can't always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

My empty wallet is still 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 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you get anything good at the grocery store?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Always. Cash back too

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I just take the phone out when I sit.

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

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