Never understood men who keep their wallet or phone in a back pocket.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 35 points 6 months ago

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.

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

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 14 points 6 months ago

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

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

[-] fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Can't always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

🤣 working towards that goal tho!

I'd go crazy if I had to sit with a lump under one ass cheek.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Don't disagree. Small wallet for front pocket is my go to. Just was saying "it makes sense".

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I just take the phone out when I sit.

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

I'm crazy forgetful. I'd 100% break it in my back pocket lol

I kept my phone in my back pocket when I was a teen until a rivet shattered the screen when I sat down.

[-] QueerQuery 7 points 6 months ago

Most front pockets on women's pants are too small unless it's the dreaded fake pocket (Curse you cute pair of jeans!). Thus usually in my back pocket while walking and not in use. It is removed when sitting though.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

It's uncomfortable to walk up stairs and uphill when my phone is in my front pocket. Plus the movement to get it out from my back pocket is so much swifter.

[-] ItzzMe@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

Everyone here putting their stuff in their pants’ pockets… anyone here who just wears a belt bag everywhere instead?

[-] Tower@lemm.ee 66 points 6 months ago

Can we please get a "pause" button in navigation apps?

I don't need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Or the constant "duh dun" noise as it's recalculating the route while you're driving around the station trying to find an open pump

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

There is but you have to actually go manually press it, which is generally more interaction with a phone than you should do while driving.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Not for most of them. All the ones I've used will let you turn off/stop the navigation, but not pause it. The closest you can get is turning the volume off.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Well the app I use (recent versions of Apple Maps) does have pause as an option.

[-] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 5 points 6 months ago

I've mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to "toggle navigation mute/unmute". Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).

Mine has a mute
