I’m not really interested in what older / younger people are doing, I do what works for me. 🤔

40 is definitely middle age.😀

As for screen protectors, getting scratched. As Roy Keane would say. "That's their job!" and a good one does not discolour the screen.

Anyhow, everyone to their own.

yeah, fair enough it's been a while since I looked into using them for paying. However still think carrying your credit cards, driving license etc along with your phone is a big risk in case you lose it or it's nicked.

I haven't bothered with screen protectors in years.

You put one on, it get scratched, you probably leave it on for a long time with the scratches there.

Kind of started to wonder what's the point in protecting the screen underneath from scratches if you never actually see it.

Went without a screen protector on my new Pixel a few months ago and there still isn't a single scratch on it.

That reminds me I remember the auld fella was on holidays Spain somewhere. He told a story about how someone made an announcement about being careful with their wallet as there are pick pockets around. Naturally everyone checked with their hand where there wallet was. But sure wasn't it someone who was obviously in with the pickpocket. As peoples wallets were stolen. They could now have an idea where the wallets were when people checked their wallet etc.

Fortunately he had an internal travel pack to carry his money. But normally he would have the wallet in the back pocket, casual button open and all.

All keys and gum - front left.

Wallet and phone - front right.

Loose change - back right.

Bus transfers, when applicable - left breast pocket.

Pretty much anything else goes in the back pack.

I know it's their job to take the scratches to protect the screen. I'd just prefer to see the screen without having to look through all those scratches so I use a leather case instead.

Its like the people who buy a new car and leave the plastic cover on the seats for ages so that they can keep the car in showroom condition'

But they would never have bought a car if it came with seats that were permanently wrapped in cheap plastic. You're just having an inferior experience just for the 'peace of mind' of knowing that the seat/screen is lovely and fresh underneath the protective cover

I am the opposite, although sometimes they end up in 'wrong' pockets. Always causes a few seconds of panic.

I used to put screen protectors on absolutely everything, new phones, handhelds consoles, the screens on cameras, anything that could be scratched.

Kind of started to feel like I was trying to preserve the screens on these items for someone in the future that wasn't me.

Feck that. Embrace entropy, don't use screen protectors. 😁

Well if the likes of Newstalk and fluff morning TV can ask questions with a straight face such as 'How often do you change your bed sheets' - text etc etc.

Boards might as well take over!

All I think of now is that Charlie Haughey never carried any money on him. No clue about his bedsheets though. Although I am sure Terry Keane knew.

I wish I was one of those women who keep all their **** in their purse or bag but I'm all over the place...I have a pocket in my current regatta jacket by my left breast where is the place I mostly put my card atm...it's the modern equivalent of putting money down your top 😁😁

It might not be cutting edge social commentary, but better than wall to wall conspiracy theory alt right racism and posts about 'scrotes' and 'dole scroungers'

If something about the thread is upsetting you, I suggest you report it rather than just whinge on thread.

Thanks

Ok apologies. It was a bit tongue in cheek but no offence meant.

Used to be a back pocket guy until I did a manual handling course recently. And plenty of images like the below showing why you should never keep stuff in back pocket.

Is that not uncomfortable sitting on a wallet? That would drive me mad. Something I had not realised only for the above post.

I have a front hanging elephant trunk bollocks so I lay that on my left side and wallet in right pocket.

No option for front pockets?
