Maybe that is why I hardly endorse the robopose. I usually try to pose the way I do in real life.


I know you won't be offended if I use you as an example T. Your pics in the hat contest with the red fez. In one you are standing with hands behind your back. Pose might not be the most creative but shows how well your jacket fits. In another you have both hands in both jacket pockets and it just pulls your jacket fronts all out of line. It's not about treating the jacket with delicacy or whatever, just looks off to me.

Where do I keep my stuff? What stuff?

If I don't have a jacket, phone goes in rear left trouser pocket, wallet in rear right, keys in front left, handkerchief in front right. Sunglasses on face or if indoors then in shirt front.

If I'm wearing a jacket / suit, sunglasses go in breast pocket, phone in inside pocket. Everything else the same. I don't feel a need to carry a bunch of other stuff around. Wallet is as slim as possible. Two keys on the ring for car and door. Anything else is work related so goes in briefcase. Lower jacket pockets remain unused!

i would amend my previous statement to the following:
.

I hate all of the nonsense life forces us to carry. I don't even carry a wallet anymore. I hate bulk. I have cash in my right pant pocket, cards and ID's and such in my left. Keys in my jacket left, phone in my jacket right. Sometimes if my girlfriend wants to wear a dress or skirt with no pockets I have to carry all of her female accouterments: chap stick, cred/metro/ID, tampons, cell. Burns me the **** up.

make sure you don't mix up the chapstick with the tampon.

You have some sort of card holder for your cards, I assume? And a money clip? That's another way I've been thinking about carrying my stuff.

One of my friends says it's not very cool, but if we're in a movie and I'm not wearing a sport coat (at 112*, I won't wear any kind of sport coat) and she has her purse, I'll give her my wallet/phone/keys just so I'm not that asshat that has a cell or something that drops and hits the floor in the middle of the movie.

Nope. Too much bulk. Loose cards on the left, loose money in the right. Also, it slows me down having to open wallets and stuff. I can even tell which card I pull out of my pocket by feel alone.

Also, I can't help but feel that anybody with a money clip looks kind of douchey.

+1. I can't stand having too much **** in my pockets ... traveling light.

Aside from my dad, I don't know a single person who uses a money clip. pB are you calling my dad douchey?

Do you not sit down? Give your ass (and your back) a break, friend!

My pants pockets go almost completely unused unless I happen to be carrying cash (a rare occurrence).

You are going to be the most enjoyably crotchety old man, pB.

Hm. I can agree on the douchey part but I think it all needs to go in something. I'm just paranoid about dropping one card and not knowing.

Definitely a basis for giving advice... :D

I get all of my trousers made without back pockets. Do they look like girl's pants? Probably, but if they don't get used I don't want them.

Going to be? I already am!

I've never had an issue. Would you rather drop one card, or lose all of them at the same time?

I have recently begun to carry my insurance card. I never used to, but I fear that if I get creamed by a car, or stabbed or something the hospital would be likely to patch me up faster knowing that I have good insurance.

Yeah, this is what it reminded me of.
