Into which pocket do you place your phone? - eviltoast

Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?

    We’re all different! Which is awesome. My giant thumbs just aren’t as precise. I can do it, but it’s so much easier with the tip of my index.

    I’m glad to meet a fellow swiper though! Nice to meet you 956¡ In the wild I only ever meet people who double thumb it like animals, or people who recognize that double thumbing is ridiculous and either voice type or slow type a short message. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who swipes every time. I’ve met a few people who tried it and thought it was too hard, and I get that. But holding my phone in front of me with both hands to type with my two thumbs just makes no sense to me.

    If dedicated thumb types out there feel called out, that is my intent! Our thumbs are awesome, but they are not ideal for tapping tiny things precisely. That’s just not what they evolved to do!! There’s even a saying about being “all thumbs,” which refers to being clumsy. Don’t be all thumbs! Swipe!
