Carrying your phone

[Chex313]

Still can't believe how many of you carry knives around! Word of warning, if you come to visit the UK please leave those knives behind!

I just use mine(Leatherman) for work and yes it has a the knife, its a multi tool with pliers and saw, screwdrivers and such. I am sure folks use them in the UK as well.

I'm right handed, but keep my phone in my left front pocket. I always hold it in my left hand and touch the screen with my right hand.

It would be pretty tuff to cross draw

We visit Europe every summer, and we customarily spend 7-10 days of our trip visiting different areas of the UK. For example, last summer, we enjoyed touring Wales (Conwy, Portmeirion, and Fishguard) and Bath; this summer, we spent a week exploring parts of Somerset (Wells and Glastonbury) and Cornwall (Port Isaac, St. Ives, and Marazion); next summer, we hope to visit the Lakes District. It never fails to be a delightful experience for us there (especially once we get out of London). I've always brought my Victorinox penknife in my luggage and then carried it around in my pocket -- mainly because it has a small light, a scissor, and a ball point pen built in, all of which prove useful at some point almost daily. I had no idea that carrying a small penknife was regarded as a criminal offense in the UK, but thanks for the warning!

Wow, I'm surprised how many people keep it in their left front pocket. Those of you that keep it left pocket are you also left handed? I keep mine in my right front pocket, left front is wallet, keys, beard stuff. Back pockets stay empty.

I'm another left front pocket guy. I'm right handed. But I'm quite definitely not a one handed user. I hold my Pixel 2 XL in my left hand, unlock with left index finger, and do all my touch screen stuff with my right hand. My car has built-in hands free capabilities so I can answer and do all my phone controls via voice control and my phone never leaves my pocket. It's now illegal here in the state of Georgia to drive and not have hands free capabilities when using your phone.

Beard stuff?

Comb and mustache wax/beard oil unless I remember to put it in my desk drawer when I get to work. My "just in case" stash. Lol. Not a big beard, this is about as much as I can get away with where I work.

You're welcome. It never used to be, but the kids, especially in London, are just killing each other willy nilly and the Government had to do something about it. It hasn't stopped the killings though.

I realize that this topic has drifted off subject to the law on carrying knives in UK.
Just for clarification, carrying a knife is restricted but not entirely illegal in the UK. This link from the UK police will clear up any misunderstanding.

Thanks for that link with more detailed information. Needless to say, I'm relieved to learn that, by carrying my Swiss Army penknife during visits to the UK these past 6 years, I haven't unknowingly engaged in criminal activity.

No Swords? WTH, how am I supposed to save the princess from the evil dragon?

You would be surprised how often people who don't carry a pocket knife want to borrow mine. They want to open a box, cut a cord or string, or tighten a screw. Although I don't use it often the can opener works quite well.

I am right handed but for some reason I keep phone in front left pocket. The only other thing I keep in there is my microfiber cloth for glasses and screen. I use a thin minimal case, but have really been considering going naked. I love the hand feel. Anyone else rocking it nude in their pockets?

Never. I'm a klutz and I have to take the phone out of my pocket to use it.
