Phone, left front. Wallet (including work fob) and key in right front; small flashlight and chapstick in the coin pocket; pen clipped to back right pocket.
Plus I guess not technically in my pocket, but I've been front horizontal carrying a leatherman (or sometimes a fixed blade with a pry bar clipped to it).
As for pockets, I ain't saying which, but almost ways just my wallet and phone. Only things I ever really carry on me regularly. Keys usually stay with whatever I am taking with me ( laptop case, backpack, whatever ), so I'd be screwed if I lost whatever I take with me.
Left front phone. Right front knife or multitool. Coin pocket zippo. Rear right wallet, rear left key fob. On the occasion I have my keys me, they're on a short leather strap clipped to my belt loop in my right front.
Due to my job, all my jackets have a millimeter ruler and a staedler 319f marker in the front pocket, and my left inside pocket has a fountain pen with blue ink, and a pilot gtec C4 with black ink. Right Inside pocket has a hairtie, toothpicks, and a carved jade turtle figurine (skjoldpada).
Phone in right back pocket or inner jacket pocket.
Left front pocket, snus, if I don't have a jacket left pocket for it.
Right front pocket, apartment keys and lip balm.
Earplugs in right jacket pocket.
And if I'm going for a breakfast or lunch at a café, reading pad in inner left pocket.
most days, I wear cargo pants, and I put my phone in right pocket, keys in left. and Bluetooth earbuds in lower left pocket , wallet in the lower right.
Wallet goes in my back left. Used to be my right but the way I sit that started to give me some sciatica issues no problem since I switched pockets. I also switched to a thinner wallet which probably helps as well but that came well after switching sides
Back right usually gets a bandana
Things move around between my front pockets a bit.
I usually carry a pocket knife and if it has a clip that gets clipped to the front right, no exceptions. If it doesn't have a clip it could be in either front pocket, or possibly a belt pouch.
I usually have a pen on me and if my shirt doesn't have a pocket that goes there as well.
I've been sporting a curly handlebar moustache for probably 15 years now, and if I'm wearing jeans or something else with a similar little watch/coin pocket, my tin of moustache wax goes there. Otherwise that tin goes into whichever pocket I find it's rattling the least against whatever else is in that pocket.
Phone switches back and forth between my left and right front pocket, based mostly on which hand I was last using it with. If I was just aimlessly scrolling on my phone or texting someone I probably had it in my right hand so it goes in the front right. It occasionally also ends up in a jacket or shirt pocket.
If I was using it while I was doing something else, like maybe looking at a recipe while I was cooking it was probably in my left hand so it goes in that pocket.
If I have cargo pockets it sometimes ends up in one of those. One of my pairs of hiking pants has a pocket that fits it really nicely.
Keys generally get clipped to a belt loop on my right side, the case for my earbuds gets clipped on my left. Other times they end up in a jacket pocket or usually my front right pocket.
I usually carry a small notepad with me, like with the pen it preferably goes in a shirt pocket, otherwise it usually ends up in my right front, or if I have cargo pockets one of those.
My dominant hand might be in use, so left pocket is more often available while I'm doing something. Same reason why wrist watch is traditionally on left hand.
No, because I hold the phone with my nondominant hand (my left) and interact with it using my dominant hand (my right). Why would I put it in the pocket on my dominant handed side? I'd just have to switch it to the other hand once it was out of my pocket.
This is what prompted the question. I didn’t have a phone until I was older, so my wallet always went in the right. Only place left for the phone is the left.
Phone front right, wallet and earbuds front left. My keys go on a retractable carabiner attached to a belt loop but sometimes get tucked into the nearest pocket to reduce jingling.
Back left: phone, until I sit down then I just pull it out and set it on a table or something.
Front left: nothing usually, but if I put something that isn't one of the above in my pocket, that's the one. When I smoked, that's where the cigarette case went.
I tend to keep a fair bit of my stuff clipped to my belt loops, not quite as streamlined and elegant as cramming everything in a pocket, but much easier to tell when something is missing (and far less likely to beat up my phone).
Front left pocket: wallet, multitool (Nextool s11)
Front left belt loop: noise cancelling earbuds (Sony WF-1000XM5)
Pocket knife as a tool and self defense, right front pocket of my jacket.
A lighter, I don't smoke but in case I or someone else wants to light something on fire, inside pocket of my jacket.
And phone, keys and other stuff but it varies where I store them.
I don't have pants pockets but my purse is to the left. I made it myself so I have a perfectly sized pocket for my phone towards the front, wallet in the middle, keys further back. Random whatever else goes in the main compartment

For some reason your post reminded me of when I got my first flip phone and I hadn't had a designated pocket for it.

HOW MANY POCKETS DO YOU HAVE AND WHY DO YOU HAVE A BANANA POCKET?! 😭
Edit: my ass totally read banana when you actually said banDana. Mb but we were laughing hysterically about a banana pocket.
Fondots@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 136d
Normally 5-7 between my shirt and pants.
2 front and back pockets on my pants
The little watch pocket on jeans and such
One or two shirt pockets
Occasionally I wear cargo pants or shorts which adds 2+ more pockets
And if I'm wearing a jacket, that adds a few more. My most commonly worn jacket has 2 hip, 2 chest, and 2 inside pockets
And if I'm fishing, even I don't know how many pockets are on my vest, pretty sure that adds a dozen or so
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social · 2 pts · 137d
In my personal time…
front right; phone.
Front left; vape and liquid.
Maybe a wallet in my back right pocket.
In work time…
Front left keys, torch, vape and liquid in my flappy pocket.
Front right; personal and work phone.
Flappy front right, a selection of small tools and pens.
Back left; keys
Back right; more keys.

Front left: wireless headphones, flashlight, wallet, 6ft of Paracord.
Front right: cell phone, knife.
Back left: any small trash I've collected throughout the day.
Back right: usually empty 🤷♂️
I don't like sitting on things. Kept my wallet in my back right until I was 25 or 30, started hurting my back. Since switching it forward, no issues.

I used to carry a wallet on my left front pocket, and a folding knife and a lightweight multi-tool in my right pocket. Also keys and change.
Now I carry a sling bag, and everything goes in there. Usually the only thing in my pockets now are keys and change.

Right pocket: folding knife, dog poop bags
If it's cold then my vest has my gloves and toque when I get to warm.
If it is dark then I have a light clip on my chest in some way so the light is in shining on my path.
If I'm hiking light then I probably have an extendable hiking pole with folding water bottle.
