    Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It’s been kind of the default for generations so much it’s a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They’re generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

    Phone on the other hand, I don’t get either. They’re rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. 🤷‍♂️

      Wallet in back pocket = back pain. It’s pressing on your sciatica. Keep it in your front pocket, or get cargo pants.

        Anecdotal. I keep a trim wallet and have never had back pain.

          I usually declutter my wallet after it hits the three pound level … or the leather explodes.

        *sciatic nerve. “sciatica” is the kind of pain caused by compression of the nerve.

        …is this a humble brag about how heavy your wallet is from all your gold doubloons? 🤨

          No it’s a tip for a life without back pain caused by sitting on an uneven surface for 12+ hours a day.

        I agree. I was just stating “it makes sense”. Small wallet for the front pocket. Can’t always wear cargo lol

        First world problems. “My wallet is so thick that I call it a lump”.

          ? My “wealth” such as it is is 2 credit cards, a debit card, and an id. If you’re carrying around every card you have, you have no plan. Figure out your spending to maximize credit card points. Why would I have my travel credit card with me in the grocery store? I’d have my everyday points card.

      Wallet in the back pocket has cost me nearly 6-figures in medical bills for back pain over the years.
