Wallets

[Stevesie60]

I don't know how you guys keep your keys in your front pockets. I keep them in my coat pocket, or but them on a desk or table until I leave. In very extreme conditions, I put them in my back pocket.

I would spend about a half hour looking for my keys every day if I did that.

I used to, but now I have a routine so I always have a pretty good idea of where they'll be.

I have a leather Iphone case that carries a few cards.  Eliminates one thing from my pockets.  Also, I am a front pocketer.  Never felt comfortable sitting on my wallet all day and was worried it would fall out when I am sitting.

Link please, this very efficient item could change my life

I've had the same billfold bifold whatever since I was 16 (20+ years).  I am afraid to get a new one because I feel like I have some sort of world record non lost billfold streak going and don't want to jinx it.

This thread really took off. I have been using a tri-fold, front-right pocket, with keys. I have small keys. Good not great. I will consider bi-fold now.

How does anybody that's right-handed put their keys in their left pocket? Weird. Your right hand grabs the car remote, apartment door key, work door key, etc. Your left hand can open a text or check scorecenter or call the GF while your right hand does the other stuff.

On roadtrips I will take my wallet out of my back pocket and put in the console or somewhere.  But during the normal workday, it doesn't seem to bother me in the back pocket.

I put my keys in my right pocket but when out but I never leave them in my pocket at home.

why in the hell is a wallet with two folds called a tri-fold?

I agree, but apparently JT makes the rules up in this bitch

Wait, is this something Constanza says about his wallet? Is that what's going on here?

[Emo EMAW]

Do you guys do the thing where as you're leaving the house you like tap your front and back pockets to make sure everything is there?  Or like if I'm in a place with shady people I'm always rubbing my pockets to make sure no one pick pocketed me.  Probably comes off as creepy but whatevs.

normally i would love to own up to something clever like this but no, Jakesie, i am not that knowledgable about wallets and can't figure out why it is called a tri-fold.

Absolutely I do.

ohmygod all the time. sometimes i audibly say "check, check, check" for the 1-2-3 of keys-phone-wallet. This is why when there's a fourth thing, like an ipod or a rent check, i lose them/forget about them.

i basically constantly do this. it's essentially on the same level as breathing for me at this point. i have the utmost confidence that i will never misplace my phone, wallet, or keys (unless i'm super wasted, which has happened.)

3 pocket check, no doubt. can't imagine living any other way.

I also tap the top of my head for sunglasses.   

[puniraptor]

trifold because it is folded into 3 layers. bifold folded into 2 layers.

i suppose.

[Bloodfart]

Wallet back left pants pocket

Skoal can back right pants pocket

Pocket knife front left pants pocket

Cell phone front right shirt pocket

Pen front left shirt pocket

Keys go in basket at home and top left desk drawer at work.

[Bloodfart]

I will definitely be converting from tri-fold to bi-fold.

[SwiftCat]

I 3 pat check almost constantly.

[Emo EMAW]

3-pat checking is like yawning.  Emo EMAW sees you 3-pat check, and Emo EMAW 3-pat checks himself.

I made the switch from back pocket to front pocket a while ago (after the beginning of this thread) and for a while i would have a heart attack every time i patted my empty back right pocket before i remembered what was going on

[Bloodfart]

Thanks for the suggestions and advice everyone.  goEMAW shaping seemingly arbitrary problems into genuine resolution.

Back right,  bifold.   Front pockets are for my phone (right) and keys (left).

Are you left handed?

No. Are you?

No. I put my keys in the right pocket and cell phone in the left. I was just curious if jtksu was left handed since he does it opposite.

I'm actually ambidextrous but I obviously use my right hand to start my car.  I like my keys in the left pocket because I tend to sit with my left leg crossed over my right leg and the phone feels awkward if it's in my left pocket.

it would take an extremely deep leg cross to bring my pocket contents into play. please post a selfie of your lower body in this position.

Just a regular cross legged position, left ankle on right leg, close to knee.  I didn't say the phone inhibits the leg crossing, it just feels weird.

Boy I did not see you as a leg crosser.
