Why keep your wallet in your back pocket?

[GambleGamble]

Right Front - WALLET
Left Front - Keys, Cell phone x 2

....the only time my wallet goes in my back pocket is if Im out at a bar or clubbing and I wont be sitting, and I keep all my money in the front....so I dont look like a douche opening my wallet for drinks....

STORY:
A seldom seen posted (Mr Purple) who is a friend of mine, keeps his wallet in his back pocket, and he recently had his wallet stolen and lost $1200 while at the Venetian

Right back - wallet
Left back - empty most of the time, sometimes small denomination bills, especially at the bar
Left front - Cigarettes, lighter, and coin change
Right front - Keys, phone

It's too annoying to sit or walk with a wallet in the front pocket. It rests right where my leg bends causing great discomfort when doing anything other than standing stil.

Sounds like maybe you could benefit from a looser cut of pants or possibly the next size up.

OP,

While I'm plenty obsessive/compulsive, it's not to the point where I care which front pocket my wallet is in, so I opted not to vote.

But I did make the move to the front, between pickpockets and it falling out. A bunch of years ago I was in Mexico (Puerto Penasco aka Rocky Point) and chillin like a villain on penicillin at Manny's Beach Club. At the time cashish was the preferred method of payment, and a friend wanted me to buy him some duty-free stuff at the border, so I had like $600 on me. As I left Manny's I patted myself down (was wearing a leather jacket) and realized my wallet was missing. I did an about-face back into Manny's and found the ENTIRE staff - waitresses, busboys, managers, etc. - crowded around my chair.

At that point I realized, with a chill, that my fat wallet had fallen onto the sand some time ago and they were all waiting to pounce. Naturally, their English got really dicey, nobody knew what I was saying, and I had to cancel all my credit cards from another country. Since then I carry it up front and also keep a slimmer cash on the outside style, not a Costanza special that weighs like 5 lbs.

Right front: keys
Left front: misc
Right back: wallet
Left back: cell phone

Wallet----> front pocket on the side you are *not* primary-handed (you will always "feel" it there so you won't lose it by accident, plus it is harder to pickpocket)


Keys, and small high-quality knife----> on side you *are* primary-handed (in case you have to get into your car quickly, or need to defend yourself from a dog or human)


Cell phone----> zipped jacket pocket


Chapstick, hand sanitizer, kleenex, that kind of stuff----> other jacket pocket


A few small bills for tips, taxi or cheap eats----> back pocket


For the guys saying that a front wallet interferes with their dick: get looser more comfortable pants--also try wearing your dick on the other side from the wallet, it will get used to it after a while and then that will be the side that feels natural

other: I wear an empty jockstrap and keep it in there, everyone thinks I have a huge package and no one can ever see me with an erection so it works perfectly, and it's even better when you wear shorts without pockets.

Wallet in back pocket leads to back problems.

Reminds me yet of another Seinfeld episode when George could not close his wallet
