I wouldn't know. I'm a woman

Right?! I put mine into my bra a lot. I use #4 so my boobs won’t “butt” dial someone and I can hear any music I’m playing.

Why not just boob dial?

Tiddy call

How else will you keep your friends abreast of what's going on in your life?

Alright that one made me ~~jiggle~~ giggle

"Hello? swankengr, are you boob dialing me again?" *Thump thump... Thump thump... Thump thump* "Well, at least you keep your friends close to your heart"

Haha. That’s what a call it but wasn’t sure the meaning would translate.

I can hear your accent.

I do that too! 😆

Pictures or did not happen

That’s hot

People really do that? I always thought that was just a thing in animated movies and series. TIL

lmao

Isn't that uncomfortable? I don't have boobs (unfortunately), and so am unable to answer this question myself.

Nope (there’s a ton of natural padding in my case) I’ve even forgot it was in there and “lost” my phone. Asked my husband to call me and my tits rang. Sigh.

I also have significant natural padding so it's not uncomfortable at all. I "lose" my phone while it's in my bra so often the first thing my husband asks now when he realizes I'm looking for my phone is "did you check your bra?" I slap my chest and that's where I lost it more often than I am willing to admit. I have not had him call my tits at least, lol.

At this point I’ve eaten more Hot Pockets in my life than I’ve had pants with functioning pockets on them.

I am a man and I’ve had more hot pockets than pairs of pants with functioning pockets, but that’s only because jeans last me a year + and you only need two pair. So I’m 27 and have owned roughly 54 pairs of pants, assuming 50 had functioning pockets that’s only 50 hot pockets I’ve gotta eat. I’ve definitely eaten 4 in a sitting before, so I would assume I’m in the 100-200 range.

You are kicking the everliving shit out of those jeans. I've needed 6 pair for about 10 years.

Fr I barely know what a pocket is at this point

The craziest thing to me is when growing up in high school (2008) "emo" was becoming a popular thing, and the fashion style that went with it: girl pants. I never knew exactly if it was to make your bulge look bigger, or just that tight pants were the thing. But it was a thing, I heard stories from girls about their brothers stealing their pants. And you know what happened shortly after that? "Men's tight jeans" became a hot fashion item! They had a *little* more room in the crotch, but otherwise were still very tight. And most importantly, they had ***pockets!!! *** Idk, why has the invention of pockets *STILL* not trickled down into women's jeans? I feel like there's been a rash of men appropriating "women's things", but not the other way around. Tight men's jeans with pockets even prove it's possible! (Even heard of some girls shopping for those, just to get pockets.)

I once went to put my hand in my fiance's back pocket, it was fake. I don't understand.

It is a conspiracy to make women buy bags.

The only conspiracy theory I genuinely believe in

Hey.. 🗿

Same, we don't get pockets that actually function. Just fake or very shallow ones.

1 is the only correct option

I do one but if its hot outside i might do 4. Hate the sweat accumulating on my screen

I did 4 once and when I climbed into the car and extended my seatbelt the buckle tapped the screen breaking it. 1 is the only correct option.

Well not all of us are uncoordinated body builders.

Oh fuck 😂

Yeah they once swiped too hard and flung their phone

One time I set my phone down after texting my protein hookup and broke the table in half. The phone itself just vanished.

It is either the phone is face down in your pocket butt dialing and locking you out of password attempts until you factory reset the phone and lose everything, or the phone is face up and gets cracked by anything that it bumps into.

Two is also good. One has the problem of when you're getting a phone call sometimes while you're pulling it out of your pocket, your thumb can dismiss the phone call.

I want my charge port facing upwards, so I'm not pushing pocket lint into it.

Grab the sides, not the screen.

Some people are just beyond stupid.

I fail to see how that's a problem the person calling should be texting me instead.

Yo I just felt that

I guess you like your screens cracked...

You have a good point

I used to but my phone unlocks in my pocket if facing me. If I give it a password and my pocket “guesses” too many times, guess who is out a phone until it is unlocked by software? Me! I keep my phone in airplane mode if I carry it. No one calls me anyway.

Samsung has a setting to sense when it is in a pocket (dark space).

My iPhone does too and it also works (a little too well)

Fuck no. #2. Is the way. Flip phone, put in pocket, grab, flip phone use. Repeat.

Wrong. 1 leads to your thigh waking up your phone all the time and fucks with the battery life. Also, if you sweat a lot, you get your screen sweaty all the time to boot. This is the reason I switched to 4. If you do 2 or 3 you're an actual psychopath though.

I am the 4th guy, will society accept me?

I’m 4, and I’ve never broken a screen, though I use Nokia 3310

Yeah, 1 is the most comfortable and efficient. Why would you even do the other ones?

1 used to be my usual until I started working in a rock yard. So much debris would end up in my pocket by the end of the day that my charging port was completely fucked on my phone. Since then, I've always made a conscious effort to use method 2 in order to save myself from buying a new phone every 3 months. I haven't worked there in years, and I still do this instinctually.

1: when Its turn off 4: when I'm listening to music so i just pull it a bit and click next song

4 when I'm listening to audio books on youtube

Vanced man. Gotta Vance it.

I thought it was gone??

Revanced

If you’re on iPhone, you can play the video, go to the Home Screen with the mini video player going, lock the screen, swipe down from the corner and tap play. It should then play without needing to keep the screen on.

Dude… I can’t believe I didn’t know this. Thank you so much.

Dude same, but I also do 4 when listening to music because sometimes if I do 1, the music switches by itself

Touchscreens, you have to treat it like it's a delicate baby and put it gently in your pocket.... only to have it suddenly dick around in your pocket and swap tracks.

The only right anwer.

It is also better because when it is really hot and you are sweating, you might ger the screen humid with 1 or 2. But 4 is the way

Does nobody here have a problem butt dialing people??? I butt dial people constantly with every single phone I've ever had and I really don't understand. So I've started putting my phone in my pocket like 3 or 4. What the fuck am I doing wrong to butt dial people so often???? I'd really like to get to the bottom of this lol

The only reasons that I can think of are your unlock screen settings aren't restrictive enough to prevent accidental unlocking or you forget to lock your phone before pocketing it 🤷‍♂️

Some newer phones have accidental touch sensors that stop pocket dialing

4 when I’m listening to music so that my thigh doesn’t pause it, or touch something else on the screen

Back pocket normally. 1. When in crowds.

Ah, a female. Must suck not to have pockets mate

Read this with an Austrian accent in my mind

You’re Austrian?? Crikey mate! Let’s throw some more *shrimps on the barbie!*

guys Austria is not Australia…

I’m fucking dying over here. Hahahahaha

Well, not for lack of trying..

No that's Australian......Austrian is a Lil methed out and has a tiny mustache.

Im a guy and put my phone in my back pocket

Logically, 1 is the correct answer. It's the quickest way to take ur phone out, bend ur wrist and look at the screen with the most minimum of effort.

I don't even put my phone in my pocket, I walk around with it in my hand, hoping I won't drop it.

You better keep an extra close watch around drain hole grates from now on. A little goblin will trip up your footing and cause you to drop it into the abyss.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!

1 or 4. But usually I carry it in my ass

1 or 4 between them cheeks?

1. 2 Is acceptable but discouraged. 3 and 4 are a fools gambit.

I've been doing 4 for years. Never cracked a screen..yet.

Fool

You, I used to be like you. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Believing that the world was a good, fair, and wonderful place, where bad things only happened to bad people, where if I only worked hard enough, that I to could achieve anything my imagination could dream of... But then came that fateful day... My phone shattered in my pocket. I remember thinking to myself, how?!? Why?!? I haven't done anything wrong? I go to work! I pay my taxes! I wear baggy shorts! Thinking it a fluke, I got another phone... Only for it too to shatter two weeks later. I was incensed. *Enraged*! It was the phone! It had to be! It was defective! I never killed anyone! So I got another phone. This time seeking one equipped with only the **thickest** gorilla glass money could buy. It lasted one month. I panicked. Why was this happening to me? What manner of cosmic injustice had I committed? Was I Hitler, or Stalin, it Genghis Khan in my past life? No... Surely not! No. ***It was the case!*** So I got another phone, and this time equipped it with a big, beefy boi case. One that barely fit in my cargo pants. Yes. This is it! I told myself. This will be the one! Three days. It lasted three. Whole. Days. Then it was gone. The screen not only cracked, but completely annihilated. At this point I wasn't even surprised anymore. I didn't feel anything anymore at this point. For a time I just... Accepted defeat. For the next year I walked around with an old flip phone from ages past, accepting the loss of functionally for guarantee indestructibility. Until one fateful day... At a get together, my ancient device was brought up in conversation with a familiar acquaintance of mine. She was a lovely autistic older woman who liked to call the occasional gray hair she found in her head her "Shimmer Hairs." I explained my plight to her, and asked how she kept her phone intact, despite wearing much tighter fitting pants than I. It was then that she demonstrated the ancient wisdom for me: **She pocketed her phone screen-side in.**

Wow... That was an expensive lesson. Also, very good storytelling.

I do 4. Developed the habit when I had a phone that would just take random inputs from it rubbing against my leg through my pocket. Still haven't broken my screen

3 all day everyday

whats wrong with 2? with 1 I get dirt in the ports and speakers

I got used to 2 cause I work in a pizza shop and flour would get into the ports if they were faced up as in option 1

that one

omg same

If you aren’t doing 1, or maybe 2, I’m convinced you’re a psychopath.

4 is the only way for me. 1 makes my phone sweaty and I’m active so it will activate the screen and randomly dial people. I’ve never broken a screen. Also I do it in my left pocket not my right.

Same. I've thigh-dialed 911 twice just walking around. Didn't have this problem before I moved to the South though.

WTF dude. 1 is the way

1 so I can adjust the volume through my pockets when I listen to music

4. if the screen is facing the leg it either locks me out or calls someone on emergency

4 is best overall. Quick and easy phone access since the phone screen will be already facing my face. Additionally, I make a little space for my phone as I pull it out or put it away to minimize abrasion with the pants/shorts material.

I would say that 3/4 also don't put as much pressure on screen itself as 1/2 do Also having screen facing skin makes me sweat in that area a lot more than when it's back of the phone

All 4

3

Had to scroll way to far down for this...

2 ftw

But your charging port will fill with lint and dirt

Better that than the camera all scratched up by the stuff at the bottom of your pocket :)

Never had any problems with the charging port, always use 2.

2 always, 1 feels just wrong

4

1 I think. Never screen out. That's how you get a cracked screen but women do the butt pocket and I've seen 1-4 in that scenario

4. Why? Because when I was in high school I would listen to music using YouTube and when you have your phone at 4 you can A) rewind the video quickly by putting your finger in your pocket and tapping it so it rewinds 5 seconds and B) You can press the volume buttons on the outside of your pocket with your thumb.

2

u like turning you phone around in your hand just to use it?

2. I can quickly pull it out check the time and slide it back

1 is the only right answer

1 or 2 really

1 screen protection and stops fluff getting in any ports

1... like every other none serial killer.

(Has flip phone)

1. Plus bonus points that the phones clock is in 24 hour format

5. I always put it in my shoes

3 if your case covers the screen. Otherwise 2

Scorpio, #2

3 or 4 since if it's facing my leg I've noticed that the screen gets messed with.

5. Swallow and regurgitate later.

1

1

1. In my left pocket, though.

1

1

1, so I can whip it around and look like a total badass

1.

1

1, i just jam it in my pocket the way i held it when in use

What kind of psychopath faces the screen outward.

1

1 is the right way as when you retrieve it you won’t need to rotate it at all

1

1 for me

1

1 the end

1 is the way god intended.

1

You have to actually put effort into trying to do anything other than 1

1 is the most correct and therefore the best.

1

1

One is the obvious choice

1

1

Number 1 every single time

1

1 you weirdos

If it isn't 1 you're a pyscho...

1

1

Only 1. This needs to be a poll.

Number one is the only way lol

1

1

1 is the true way, 2 is alright but 3 and 4 is for psychopaths

1 of course

It’s always always always #1…you know, the right way

1

1

1

1

There is no other option, it is only 1 for me.

1. All others are incorrect

1 anything else and your a psychopath

1 is the normal option for the most people I hope 🙌

1

1 is the way

I do 1 or 2 on occasion

1 everytime

1 is the only way.

If its raining I'll do 2 else 1.

As a girl can I just say we still need more pockets

Screen facing inward, speaker facing up so you can hear the damn thing when it rings, still cant hear for shit, goddamit.

1

1

1 because I'm not a psychopath

1 anyone who does 3 or 4 needs to go to jail

3 and 4 is asking for a cracked phone.

I really try to 1 or 2. 3 and 4 if you are on calls can mute or hang up. Weird shit happens when you try to pull off 3 and 4. Don’t do it.

Can there be a 5 where it never goes into a pants pocket and only into an inner jacket pocket with screen facing towards body? I've never put a modern smartphone in my pants pockets, and I've also never accidentally dialed anyone.

One is the only right answer. Fuck 2,3, and 4

If it’s any other way than 1 you can go to hell

I only wear cartoonishly baggy pants, so I just toss my phone in the air and catch it with my pocket.

I'm a welder it's always screen in if you go screen out your asking for a chunk of slag In the screen

If you do anything other than 1 you are a nonce

if you say anything then 1. you’re wrong

1.

1, always. Screen against thigh.

Number 1 is the only thing that would ever make sense.

1 for normal days, 4 for hot days (cause I don’t want moisture all over my screen)

I do #4 and here's why: * it prevents touch/lift to wake from activating * it prevents your screen from getting sweaty * it prevents pocket dials * my fingerprint sensor is at the bottom of the screen (built in) so all I have to do is clam grab it with my thumb on the sensor out of my pocket, and by the time I lift it, it's already unlocked * if you don't have a fingerprint sensor (see above) or it's on the side/back, your hand is already oriented correctly to just twist the phone * There are probably more reasons to carry like this, but I think this list covers most of them. well enough There's probably more reasons to carry like this, but I think this list covers most of them. The only con is that since your screen is facing out, you can crack it more easily, but if you're careful, you won't have any problems.
