> The same thing goes for getting all those damn gift cards out of your wallet after your birthday so you don't develop a spinal deformity from storing them under one butt cheek.

I've been carrying my wallet in my front pocket for years for this exact reason.

(Not really related to the topic, I know.)

Seriously though, I had back pain for quite a while. My doctor asked if I did a lot of sitting. When I said yes, he told me to take things out of my pockets when I would be sitting for a while. This was kind of a pain, so I just started using only the front pockets.



I've always thought it natural to carry my wallet in my front pockets. Any particular reason why most people use the back?


I do so because it would get crowded in the front. I carry a lot of stuff in my pockets: keys, phone, notebook, pencil, and wallet. None of those would work well in my back pocket but the (relatively thin) wallet, and trying to stuff more than two per front pocket is uncomfortable.


This would make a funny storyline for a sitcom.


Diverging further from the topic - it sounds like you need a bag (a man-purse if you will). There is quite a wide selection these days in many styles. Also it's quite practical.

(edit: apologies if you are female, but since you need a place to put stuff I assumed you were not)
