Gotcha.

I only wear smart stuff when I'm (a) in trouble, (b) about to pay for a very expensive dinner, (c) going to a job interview.



You don't need to worry about me raising the bar.

This has probably been said, but I presume it is metaphorical for someone who is untrusting of others. Either that, or bad sexual innuendo.

I carry my wallet in my left cargo pocket, if I put it in the right one, I have troubles when I need to drive a stick shift. I just bought an auto, so maybe it wont matter, but back pocket wallets put more wear and tear on my pants and on the car seats (I have buttons on my wallet, theres holes in some of my back pockets and the last car I had got tore up a bit by all the getting in and out of my car I do since I'm a delivery driver)

I carry my wallet in my backpocket, however it doesn't have anything of any monitary value in it. No credit cards, no cash, no license. All of that is in a smaller card carrier in my front pocket.

Well I must say that I have a great solution for all of this. Wear tighter jeans!! I wear wranglers and let me tell you, with that wallet in the back pocket, even I have to work to get it out let alone pickpocketers. And plus when you sit down, its high enough that its not directly under your ass. PROBLEM solved.. haha.. unless you dont like those kinds of jeans... just seem to me that those real baggy jeans you could fit half a filing cabinet in that back pocket..then I could see how it causes problems. (....shakes head at society......)

Same as using a pocket protector. In High school, this was a sign of a geek or nerd. somebody flouting the conventions of style and fashion, in the interests of practicality.

Never mind that the rest of their attire conspired to heighten the effect (nerdy everything) nowadays, whenever i see a front pocket wallet, I think of those poor boys in high school.

I resemble that remark... I was a proud user of a pocket protector

Aha! This is one that I hadn't considered before. The nerd factor. Maybe Gail planted the phrase as bait for the nerds to obsess over.

Gail has been teasing the guys who ask by saying things like, "Do any of you guys even know any girls?" She can get away with saying things like this because a: The name of her forum is You'll All Be Sorry, so it isn't like we haven't been warned, 2: the very fact that we consider the meaning of a throwaway line used in a comic book worthy of three different threads indicates that we are actually nerds and D: she's cool.

However, in the context of the story it doesn't quite work. Maybe with Dick; Huntress does consider him to be a bit of a straight arrow, but she's always thought that about him. In context, the comment is somehow related to him wanting to take a break from being a costumed vigilante.

It works as an in-joke, but not in context.

But you do have a point regarding the relationship with pocket protectors. Both are practical, functional ways of doing things that disregard fashion.

I'm a lot like Destrox except that I fit the wallet in with the keys in the front right. I like looser pants that allow for the extra stuff.

Front left: Cell phone, AAA Maglite, (Maybe geeky but comes in handy often enough to be worth it to me) pen, permanent marker, pencil on school days.
Front right: Wallet, keys.

I don't like the back pocket for these reasons, in approximate order:
1) Uncomfortable to sit on (therefore taking it out of back pocket to sit increases risk of forgetting it)
2) Wears through pants faster
3) Pickpocketing (Not that I really worry about that where I live)
4) Front feels easier for me to get to
5) Occasional 'tent' worries...

Pocket protectors kick ass. I have five of them. I started wearing one to work 2 years ago and I got made in fun of so bad that I stopped wearing it!


I wear my wallet with a big silver chain in the back pocket. Biker style.
