How big is your 5th pocket that you can fit a ballpoint pen in there?
Oh- tollroads? Coins? EZ-Pass.
I hook my work magnetic door pass/ID jobbie on there when I wear jeans (we have a pretty casual office). It works better for that than hooking it over the regular pocket.
I see downthread that’s what they are. All I know is I love pocket watches and own several, and when I wear one with Levi’s it always goes in that pocket.
A lot of my dress slacks have little pockets inside the right hand front pocket. I suspect these are watch pockets, too; I always use them for my pocket watches.
[Apologies if this (the little pockets-inside-pockets) has been mentioned downthread; I’m just popping off here without reading the entire thread.]

You have just summed up the 1970’s generation.
Perfect for guitar picks.
I have a silver ring that I remove when using certain hand tools so it won’t get scratched. Into the watch pocket it goes. That keeps it from mingling with the change and keys and tape measures and assorted other stuff that finds its way into my “regular” pockets throughout the day.
I always found that it was too small to give easy access to coins. They’ll fit in the pocket no problem, but my huge meathooks always had trouble getting them out.
If you’re under 7, it’s great for if you lose a tooth. Also, if you’re over 60, it’s great for if you lose a tooth.
Pocket knife normally. Except I forgot mine today, left it laying on the kitchen counter because it needs sharpened.
I hate, HATE those little fucking pockets. They make me want to castrate a litter puppies.
Problem being that I’m only 39, and look like I’m 29 
,but have the prostate of someone who’s 49:eek:.
It sticks out the top, obviously, but I’ve never had it get in the way or snap in the years I’ve carried a pen there (I prefer a shirt pocket, though!)
I don’t use the toll roads that often (mainly when I head to the airport) and I’m not really comfortable with having an RFID beacon on my car to save a few seconds at the Toll Plaza. Of course, we won’t have much choice soon (they’re making all the toll roads E-toll only, AIUI) but that’s a different thread entirely…
Thanks, lieu, this just cracked me up and made a rather bad day better by the great laugh.
Keeping your snack of two sunflower seeds.
Holding onto your spare nail clippings if you’re one of those lovely people who clip their nails in public, but fear someone taking your clippings and doing nefarious things with your DNA, like creating a new genetically-enhanced you that they will brainwash, control, and use to wreak havoc on society as we know it.
Holding a safety pin if you’re wearing some type of clothing that may experience a malfunction while you are wearing it.
Putting a tiny piece of hard candy that you can take out and unwrap in the noisiest possible way in a quiet place like a lecture hall, movie theatre, or performance of the Berlin Philharmonic.
Stuffing in a gigantic multicolored piece of fabric if you are good at doing magic tricks.
Holding a hair elastic if you have loads and loads of hair and need to be able to tie it back at a moment’s notice and you are incapable of carrying around a bag or holding it around your wrist because you are forbidden to have anything around your wrists in case someone wants to clap a “Best Friends Forever” bracelet on it, and carrying a bag around is too taxing.
Or,
holding a pill or two or some coins.
They’re perfect for memory sticks and my car has a USB port so I carry my music around with me. I also keep openoffice on it with various files that I can use on other computers. Oh, and spare change.
I don’t know what country you’re in, but if I were in Canada, the UK, or Europe I would definitely find it useful for keeping a couple of toonies, pound coins, Euros, or what have you. I could use those to buy something.
Not so much here in the U.S., where you’d need about ten quarters to represent the value of a couple of Euro coins. No way I’d try to put those in my my coin pocket! Actually “change fishing” as we know it is a peculiarly American sport; my experience in the countries mentioned is that coins are so much useful you tend to spend them as fast as you get them, so there’s no need to fish, as in “searching for specific coin denominations among a dozen other coins of inconsequential value”.

That’s why we have wallets. Folding money. 
We have folding money overseas as well, you know. It is entirely possible and practical have folding money and useful coins, as incredible as that may seem…
You need any dollar coins? We specialize in developing $1 coins nobody uses.
Much to the frustration of the folks who manage bill printing and coinage here. If we in the US could get a $1 coin to be popular enough to replace the $1 bill, we could save a metric assload or so of money replacing dollar bills, which wear out (IIRC) in less than a year…
