Mr. X points out how they make money off people who forget, lose, or simply discard their gift cards. They also make extra money off people who are compulsively responsible about their cards. After all, the easiest way to make sure you use the card before it expires and "get your money's worth" is to make a purchase that you are sure will drain the entire card. The less sure you are about the remaining balance, the bigger that purchase will be. The same thing goes for getting all those damn gift cards out of your wallet after your birthday so you don't develop a spinal deformity from storing them under one butt cheek.

I've been carrying my wallet in my front pocket for years for this exact reason. (Not really related to the topic, I know.) Seriously though, I had back pain for quite a while. My doctor asked if I did a lot of sitting. When I said yes, he told me to take things out of my pockets when I would be sitting for a while. This was kind of a pain, so I just started using only the front pockets.
- Osmose 17y agoI've always thought it natural to carry my wallet in my front pockets. Any particular reason why most people use the back?
- nex3 17y agoI do so because it would get crowded in the front. I carry a lot of stuff in my pockets: keys, phone, notebook, pencil, and wallet. None of those would work well in my back pocket but the (relatively thin) wallet, and trying to stuff more than two per front pocket is uncomfortable.
- MichaelApproved 17y agoThis would make a funny storyline for a sitcom.
- chadgeidel 17y agoDiverging further from the topic - it sounds like you need a bag (a man-purse if you will). There is quite a wide selection these days in many styles. Also it's quite practical. (edit: apologies if you are female, but since you need a place to put stuff I assumed you were not)
