I try to keep as little in my pockets as possible, my left is charger, keys, and earbuds and my right is dedicated to phone.

i didn't want to call him out on his pocket privelege (mostly because i know i could learn to sew and turn my skirts into these skirts with pockets that all the lesbians more powerful than me are wearing), but yeah

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that's my bad forgetting that we police who gets pockets for most clothes.

I just carry a pistol in my waistband. Then I use the pistol whenever I need a wallet, keys, etc.

That's efficiency

there is no layout, there is no schema, practice chaos and the enemy will never predict your actions

Rotate the items every 3 hours.

[–] DengistDonnieDarko@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

wallet, keys, phone, whatever nicotine device im chuffing on at the time. I also have gotten into the habit of carrying around a small bag with me everywhere, I keep an e-reader and other stuff in it, mostly like lens wipes, a charging cable, narcan (you never know), whatever's handy at the time. it's been an absolute gamechanger, tbqh

Phone on the left, wallet and keys in the right, credit and debit and ID cards in the little pocket on the right separate from the wallet.

When I'm counting cards I can sometimes have up to $10k in cash on me, which I keep rolled up in $2000 bundles and stashed in internal zip-up pockets on my motorcycle hoodie (which I will NOT take off when I've got that kind of dough on me lmao). The front pockets are for ratholing casino chips (it makes it harder for them to keep track of how much you're winning).

This has never happened but I imagine if I was mugged giving my nearly-empty wallet (I only keep cash I plan to spend, like $20 or so, in there) as a decoy to protect the cash and cards located elsewhere on my person.

I'm extremely sensitive to things poking my legs, so I almost never use by pant pockets at all if I have a jacket.

When I'm at work I typically have my phone in my back pocket, my box cutter in the other one, with maybe a tissue and an adhesive bandage in each front pocket. I cannot work if clunky stuff is in a front pockets. And when I sit down I take out everything in my back pockets.

Since most of this stuff is oddly shaped I take everything out when I sit down. I also don't really use the ass pockets for the same reason plus I rarely take my wallet places.

I want one of those predator style wrist things where I can store some junk and a small antimatter explosive device. Probably just cool if I cna keep my wallet and phone it in though

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Keys and wallet in one, phone in other. Although I'm pretty certain my phone screen is immune to car keys.
