I think that's what a lot of people did... Poll is very misleading.

I thought the RIght and Left in the poll meant in the back but since there's a separate Back item... those are for the front pocket? That's too uncomfortable when sitting and driving to have it in the front...

How can front pocket be MORE uncomfotable than back pocket?!
What kind of wallet/trouser combination do YOU have?!

Right handed, left inside jacket pocket. If I'm not wearing a jacket, it goes in the right back pocket.

Right handed and wallet goes in left pocket. Comb and handkerchief go in right pocket.

front left pocket. keys go in the front right pocket because I have to use my right hand for keys (especially in the car). Right handed

Same. That way I can hold the wallet in my left hand and grab whatever crap I need with my right.

This poll sux, btw. You'll never get an accurate result with the 80% more right handers (or something) there are in the world than there are southpaws.

Since no one else has mentioned it yet... The proper place for your wallet is the *left* side of the body. This allows you to cover it with your left hand while engaged with the right - specifically, even if you are left handed, you still use your right hand to shake hands.
Most younger kids seem to be ignorant of this convention, and carry in their right front pocket.
