Why the fvck would anyone put it in their back pocket, maybe if you are the type that likes something stuck up your a$$.

Who carries a wallet? I just put my bills in a neat pile, fold them twice and throw them in my pocket. Same goes for loonies and toonies.

I carry mine in my front pocket. I just checked and I think I need to get a smaller wallet and carry less cards...2 CCs, 1 ATM, 1 store card, a driver license, a Blockbuster card, my state bar card, an old student ID, a magnetic keycard (quite thick), a plastic sleeve with different insurance cards, a few business cards, and cash :)

Small wallet with only the essentials carried in my front pocket. I used to carry it in my back pocket until my back started hurting.

I usually put it in the front pocket. Harder for a person to pickpocket.
But I think it is considered more flashy or manly to put it in the back pocket where people can see.

I wear nice slacks to work. Putting a big fat wallet in the back of your pants looks terrible. Keep it slim and put it in a front pocket. Anyone with class knows this.

Rear right pocket. Just like Alexander R. Pant (The developer of pants) wrote in the very first pants instruction manuals after the invention of pants.

I keep it in my back pocket but I try to keep it pretty clean so it dont get to big. Any time I go somewhere that I dont trust my surroundings I throw it in my front so it dont get stolen but its just not as comfy as the back. I dont even realize its there in the back anymore even when I sit on it but if its on the left side I do, I dont know Im just weird like that I guess :confused:

wallet in back, right pocket. The only exception is when I'm traveling in less than stellar parts of a town, then it goes into the front pocket.
