Phone, left front. Wallet (including work fob) and key in right front; small flashlight and chapstick in the coin pocket; pen clipped to back right pocket.

Plus I guess not technically in my pocket, but I've been front horizontal carrying a leatherman (or sometimes a fixed blade with a pry bar clipped to it).

Damn, sorry. I was in a restaurant trying to settle a bet. I didn’t have chance to look back at the posts.

I’m prepared for my lashings.

I don't always carry all of this, but this is fully-loaded:

  • Right pocket: phone
  • Left pocket: beeswax lip balm, contact lens drops, vehicle keys
  • Right side pocket: work keys, microfiber cloth
  • Left side pocket: work phone, device failure "toe tags"
  • Belt: work ID/access badge
  • Right extra pocket: bit-driver with 8 bits
  • Right rear: wallet
  • Left rear: needlenose pliers
  • Clipped to lapel: micro Phillips/flathead screwdriver, pen
  • Shoulder: laptop bag with cables
  • Right ear: Bluetooth earpiece

I'm pretty happy with this setup for most of my workday...

Left front phone. Right front knife or multitool. Coin pocket zippo. Rear right wallet, rear left key fob. On the occasion I have my keys me, they're on a short leather strap clipped to my belt loop in my right front.

Due to my job, all my jackets have a millimeter ruler and a staedler 319f marker in the front pocket, and my left inside pocket has a fountain pen with blue ink, and a pilot gtec C4 with black ink. Right Inside pocket has a hairtie, toothpicks, and a carved jade turtle figurine (skjoldpada).

Depends where I am and weather, here in Japan, its

Front right: Phone

Front left: wallet+earbuds

Back right: keys/train tickets back

Back left: misc recipts

Inner jacket right: tissues+hand sanitizer

Inner jacket left: folding umbrella.

4

Keys front right, wallet rear right, phone rear left. That's all I carry.

Front left is for anything miscellaneous I pick up during the day, if I do.

Before I retired, I also carried a pen, and a leatherman tool, but I don't need those anymore.

4

Left front: phone

Right front: keys, change, sometimes earplugs

Right butt: wallet

Anything else I need is in my backpack.

4

As for pockets, I ain't saying which, but almost ways just my wallet and phone. Only things I ever really carry on me regularly. Keys usually stay with whatever I am taking with me ( laptop case, backpack, whatever ), so I'd be screwed if I lost whatever I take with me.

Wallet goes in my back left. Used to be my right but the way I sit that started to give me some sciatica issues no problem since I switched pockets. I also switched to a thinner wallet which probably helps as well but that came well after switching sides

Back right usually gets a bandana

Things move around between my front pockets a bit.

I usually carry a pocket knife and if it has a clip that gets clipped to the front right, no exceptions. If it doesn't have a clip it could be in either front pocket, or possibly a belt pouch.

I usually have a pen on me and if my shirt doesn't have a pocket that goes there as well.

I've been sporting a curly handlebar moustache for probably 15 years now, and if I'm wearing jeans or something else with a similar little watch/coin pocket, my tin of moustache wax goes there. Otherwise that tin goes into whichever pocket I find it's rattling the least against whatever else is in that pocket.

Phone switches back and forth between my left and right front pocket, based mostly on which hand I was last using it with. If I was just aimlessly scrolling on my phone or texting someone I probably had it in my right hand so it goes in the front right. It occasionally also ends up in a jacket or shirt pocket.

If I was using it while I was doing something else, like maybe looking at a recipe while I was cooking it was probably in my left hand so it goes in that pocket.

If I have cargo pockets it sometimes ends up in one of those. One of my pairs of hiking pants has a pocket that fits it really nicely.

Keys generally get clipped to a belt loop on my right side, the case for my earbuds gets clipped on my left. Other times they end up in a jacket pocket or usually my front right pocket.

I usually carry a small notepad with me, like with the pen it preferably goes in a shirt pocket, otherwise it usually ends up in my right front, or if I have cargo pockets one of those.

HOW MANY POCKETS DO YOU HAVE AND WHY DO YOU HAVE A BANANA POCKET?! 😭

Edit: my ass totally read banana when you actually said banDana. Mb but we were laughing hysterically about a banana pocket.

2

Normally 5-7 between my shirt and pants.

2 front and back pockets on my pants

The little watch pocket on jeans and such

One or two shirt pockets

Occasionally I wear cargo pants or shorts which adds 2+ more pockets

And if I'm wearing a jacket, that adds a few more. My most commonly worn jacket has 2 hip, 2 chest, and 2 inside pockets

And if I'm fishing, even I don't know how many pockets are on my vest, pretty sure that adds a dozen or so

Phone in right back pocket or inner jacket pocket. Left front pocket, snus, if I don't have a jacket left pocket for it. Right front pocket, apartment keys and lip balm. Earplugs in right jacket pocket. And if I'm going for a breakfast or lunch at a café, reading pad in inner left pocket.

that's wild. I prefer keeping my anus in my right front pocket

2

Daily carry: front left, phone. Front right keys. Back right, wallet. Back left, a pack of paper tissues.

most days, I wear cargo pants, and I put my phone in right pocket, keys in left. and Bluetooth earbuds in lower left pocket , wallet in the lower right.

3

FR = PHONE FL= KEYS RR=WALLET LEFT WRIST =WATCH/FITNESS TRACKER NECK OF SHIRT = GLASSES

Sorry. I count to five before leaving the house to make sure I have everything and so I included more than pockets.

Walkie, phone, pens, band aids, counter, whatever I found on the floor…whichever pocket has room.

2

Left front: phone

Right front: wallet and hand towel

Back belt loop: keys on caribeener

2

Front right: keys.

Back right: wallet.

Back left: phone, until I sit down then I just pull it out and set it on a table or something.

Front left: nothing usually, but if I put something that isn't one of the above in my pocket, that's the one. When I smoked, that's where the cigarette case went.

2

Phone on left. Bundle of keys on the right. Dick typically goes right, but I try to even it out once in a while.

All you left pocket phone people, are you left handed?

2

My dominant hand might be in use, so left pocket is more often available while I'm doing something. Same reason why wrist watch is traditionally on left hand.

3
piefed.social

No, because I hold the phone with my nondominant hand (my left) and interact with it using my dominant hand (my right). Why would I put it in the pocket on my dominant handed side? I'd just have to switch it to the other hand once it was out of my pocket.

2

Interacting with my phone is so much easier with my dominant hand (right).

This is what prompted the question. I didn’t have a phone until I was older, so my wallet always went in the right. Only place left for the phone is the left.

There was speculation this could be an age thing.

Funny, I grew up without a phone but my wallet was always back right pocket, keys in front left.

2

I was always taught wallet in the front pockets to help protect against pickpockets and also sciatica.

1

Left pocket: phone and if I don't have a bag then also my secrid wallet behind my phone with my screen against my leg.

Right pocket: folding knife, dog poop bags

If it's cold then my vest has my gloves and toque when I get to warm.

If it is dark then I have a light clip on my chest in some way so the light is in shining on my path.

If I'm hiking light then I probably have an extendable hiking pole with folding water bottle.

2

maybe a hair tie or marker pen. sometimes tools (mainly wrenches). uhh not really any specific pockets we use for stuff, ,

2

I don't have pants pockets but my purse is to the left. I made it myself so I have a perfectly sized pocket for my phone towards the front, wallet in the middle, keys further back. Random whatever else goes in the main compartment

2

Pocket knife as a tool and self defense, right front pocket of my jacket. A lighter, I don't smoke but in case I or someone else wants to light something on fire, inside pocket of my jacket. And phone, keys and other stuff but it varies where I store them.

2

In my personal time…

front right; phone.

Front left; vape and liquid.

Maybe a wallet in my back right pocket.

In work time…

Front left keys, torch, vape and liquid in my flappy pocket.

Front right; personal and work phone.

Flappy front right, a selection of small tools and pens.

Back left; keys

Back right; more keys.

2

keys and wallet are in the winter jacket pocket in winter. man I need a summer coat with that many pockets that does not hold in heat at all.

2

Summer mode:

Front right pocket, phone. Left pocket keys and slimline wallet. Optional, pocket knife in little coin pocket.

2

Front left: wireless headphones, flashlight, wallet, 6ft of Paracord.

Front right: cell phone, knife.

Back left: any small trash I've collected throughout the day.

Back right: usually empty 🤷‍♂️

I don't like sitting on things. Kept my wallet in my back right until I was 25 or 30, started hurting my back. Since switching it forward, no issues.

2

I used to carry a wallet on my left front pocket, and a folding knife and a lightweight multi-tool in my right pocket. Also keys and change.

Now I carry a sling bag, and everything goes in there. Usually the only thing in my pockets now are keys and change.

2

Phone front right, wallet and earbuds front left. My keys go on a retractable carabiner attached to a belt loop but sometimes get tucked into the nearest pocket to reduce jingling.

2

I tend to keep a fair bit of my stuff clipped to my belt loops, not quite as streamlined and elegant as cramming everything in a pocket, but much easier to tell when something is missing (and far less likely to beat up my phone).

Front left pocket: wallet, multitool (Nextool s11)

Front left belt loop: noise cancelling earbuds (Sony WF-1000XM5)

Front right pocket: phone (pixel 9 pro xl)

Front right belt loop: keys

Hip right belt loop: work badge (when applicable)
