Medication and occasionally I keep my pocket knife there. ---

I used to keep guitar picks in it, but I stopped using picks. Now I sometimes fold up the weekly five bucks dues for uke club and keep it in there. On my work jeans, it holds wrapped razor blades. That’s a point about the pockets on woman’s jeans. We have an MCC second hand store in my neighbourhood, and it has a $1 rack. There are often jeans on it that would fit and make fine work jeans. The problem is finding a pair with pockets big enough to hold my collection of small tools and assorted junk. I can go through a whole rack without finding a pair that will work. ---

That’s the tickey pocket, and I use it for tickeys. Well, I would, if tickeys were still in circulation. Now I use it for other coins. ---

I put like $250 in there once and it fell out. I guess between getting in and out of the car and walking, it must have worked its way out somehow. Found it ~15 min later, which was how I realized it was missing. ---

Always. It’s where I keep my change. ---

I keep either a USB stick or my Leatherman Squirt depending on what I am carrying that day. Usually the Squirt. ---

I my current pair of women’s skinny jeans, while the lines for front pockets exist, both don’t actually function (they’re sewn shut and there’s no actual pocket anyway). That said, the TINY-ASS pocket on the right side, I just noticed, is actually functional. I can put my finger in it up to the first knuckle. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it every chance I get. Women’s clothes make no damn sense. ---

My thumb. Not thumb drive, but my thumb, when I put my hands in my pockets. Heck, I call it the “thumb pocket.” I’m surprised I haven’t seen it, as I was sure everyone did it at least once. ---

I use it for the cap of whatever camera lens I’m shooting with at the moment. Though depending on which jeans I have on, the pocket in question isn’t always big enough.
