My fried insists that women will not get equal rights while their pants lack pockets.
My pockets:
LF: handkerchief, car keys, house keys.
RF: money clip, coin cunt (don’t know another name for it), office keys, penknife
fob pocket: emergency pills
LR: card wallet
RR: small agenda booklet, transit passes
I wear scrubs 5 +days a week so I have 4 or 6 pockets in my pants and at least 2 in my tops. On a daily basis I carry Chapstick, pens, car keys with hair tie, phone, reading glasses, disinfecting wipes.
Well, I was getting all ready to beat the crap out of you, but I didn’t have my brass knuckles with me. I really need somewhere to keep that kind of stuff.
They don’t sound like anything particularly special–she can only get one hand in her pockets.
And just to continue hijacking the everloving bejeezus out of this thread: what IS up with girl pants having useless pockets? I’ve never met anyone who liked the feature, and many who’ve complained about it. IME chicks aren’t so different below the belt line that pockets would be untenable. Are there no bold, iconoclastic fashion designers willing to see what happens if they made a line with useful pockets?
My theory is the purse people are behind it–give a girl some pockets to carry her girl things in and she won’t need to carry around an overpriced, ridiculous-looking bag.
I’m right now wearing one of the few pants I have which include actual pockets. And the left back pocket is coming unsewn! It contains two large holes, the standard one at the top and one at the bottom! Tragedy! Must find clothes-fixing-place soon!
(Unsewn is totally a word. They aren’t stuck in place, so unstuck doesn’t fit.)
Nothing - everything is in my purse. I will put my phone in my back pocket and office keys in my front pocket when I go for my lunch walk. If I’m walking the dogs I’ll have my phone, keys and dog treats in my pockets.
Yep, I have Friday brain. 1) I thought for a second you had just outed a celebrity on the board, and 2) I’m pretty sure my office mate saw my pupils turn into little red hearts (Ms. Hynde is my punk crush). Truly disappointed when my rational brain explained to me what was going on.
I don’t generally carry anything in my pockets. Firstly, because I’m a woman and I am conditioned to think of pockets as decorative over functional, and secondly, because I usually carry a purse.
I do have one or two pairs of pants with decent front pockets. They really do come in handy sometimes. Like last year at Aftershock, where you can’t bring purses or backpacks unless they’re see through. I was so excited to discover I had room to put my ID and money in one pocket and lip balm and medication in the other.
