Ask Lemmy

Left handed, left pocket, nothing else in that pocket. Sometimes left coat or jacket pocket but prefer pants.

Left, because my keys are in my right pocket and I don’t want to scratch the phone

Left handed, right pocket. Nothing else goes in that pocket.

Right pocket on the uniform, because I fear putting my shears and stethoscope in the same pocket, and the shears have a tip that doesn't facilitate the left pocket, and the stethoscope rubber is too grabby on the phone.

Left pocket in general, because my wallet is in the right and I hate them clanking together.

Left. Because my keys, cigarettes, and lighter are in the right and there's no more room for the phone.

Between my butt cheeks as it helps me stay fit by clenching my butt all day.

Also, in my roght pocket as I'm right handed and use my phone a lot.

Nice try, phone thieves.

Right handed, phone front left, keys front right, wallet back right. It's a perfect system. Not sure about other countries but in the US the key start is always on the right side of the steering column and I unlock doors with my right hand.

Wallet and Keys in left pocket, phone and everything else in right.

I never use the back pocket.

Huh, I just considered I don't have a typical pocket I put my phone in. I'm right handed and I think I tend to put my phone in my left pocket more? Maybe? But I just took it out of my right pocket so I'm not sure.

I'm right-handed and carry my phone in a belt pouch on my left. I take it out and hold it with my left hand while I tap or type with my right. I do all of my typing with a swype-type keyboard, so I just use my right hand for that too.

Nice try, pickpocket on the metro

Nice try pickpocketer!

Right handed, right back pocket (front if my trousers don't have back pocket). Or more often in my handbag.

For me it was always clear to have my wallet in my right pocket and my phone in the left one. I never questioned this until now..

Same as you. Right Handed, left pocket. My wallet is in my right front pocket. I would bet my older age has everything to do with this.

Right handed, left pocket.

When I was deciding what went where, I drove a car with actual locks and cell phones were really only for calls, you didn't spend all day looking at it. So my keys spent more time in my hands than my phone did.

Now it's a habit and I can't change it.

Phone right front. Wallet right back.

Keys left front. You can't keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.

Consistency means I always know if I've forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There's never searching or wondering where they've gone.

Wallet back right, phone back left. When I sit down, I pull it out.

Right handed, left pocket.

Right handed, right pocket 95% of the time. Occasionally I catch myself using the left pocket if for whatever reason storing it in the right requires an awkward movement.

Usually left back or side pocket, or in my hand, or under one leg/between my legs if I'm sitting.

Left-handed, left pocket. Just habit I guess. Right side is always keys and headphones.

For temporary stowaways around the house (especially when cooking) it can go in either of the back pockets, depending on which hand I'm holding it with.

I use whichever pocket is handy, and I can be seen checking all my pockets every 45 seconds to remind me which pocket my phone is in, lest I need it.
Rinse and repeat.

Pocket? I keep everything in a cross body bag.

Car keys in right pocket. Phone in left. I think it's because cell phones weren't very common when I started driving, haha. So my keys beat my phone to the right pocket by about 2 years or so.

Back left pocket

I keep my phone in my right pocket and keys in the left pocket. I started this habit in high school in 1998 when I got my first phone and just have carried the habit along, it is the most convenient for me.

Am I the only one that quite often leaves it at home?

I’m the same, right handed but phone in left and use phone with left hand.

No preferred pocket for anything. I put my phone in any pocket is easily reached with the hand is holding the phone at that moment.

Sometimes is the front pocket, sometimes is the back pocket, the pocket of the hoodie, inner pocket of the jacket, a bag, breast pocket of a shirt if it is big enough.
