So many doing front left for phone, that's just weird to me unless you're left handed.

Front Right: Phone

Back Left: Flattened & folded plastic shopping bag(s)

Back Right: Wallet

Belt Hooks: Keys

Front left is the 'all the other shit' pocket. Currently this contains:

  • 6 flash drives totalling around 500GB
  • Lighter
  • £4.25 in loose change
  • Flipper 0
  • Trolley token
  • Multitool with knife, needle, pen, tweezers, ruler, magnet, cross driver
  • 3 dog shit bags (empty)

I'm guessing it's so the phone doesn't interfere with a weapon

Not weird at all. I reach into my left pocket for my phone with my left hand and am ready to operate it with my right hand. Having it in my right pocket would be awkward.

Is your phone a zweihänder or something? I think the last time I reliably used a phone with both hands was back in the days of tapping out texts on a keypad in T9. Needed both thumbs for decent wpm.

Or I'm misreading and it'd get in the way of something else?

Right seems right for me, in both pocket and operation. Whatever works though, at the end of the day :)
