Fake pockets and the stupid tiny pockets on women's clothing. My mom has a number of pairs pants that she can't put her phone into, it's an iPhone 7

Ooh! Ooh! What about the pockets where there actually is fabric, but the opening of the pocket is sewn shut?

I thought that was just so the pocket didn't sag during storage/display. Aren't you meant to break that stitching? I have been 😂

You are meant to break it open. Or cut it open if you want to be safer with the fabric.

I could have had an extra storage slot all this time...

I was confused by this but apparently it's so it doesn't sag during display (men's suit jacket).

I really don't understand why they still include those tiny pockets. Practically no one carries around a pocket watch nowadays.

But I will say, they're the perfect size for quick-access storage of my emergency anti-anxiety meds.

I’m not sure. If someone said to me “Here, put this in your pocket.” And I didn’t have any pockets, that would be so shameful. I’d probably never live it down. But if someone said “put this in your pocket” and I had fake pockets, there’s a chance I could talk my way out of it and carry on living a normal life

If someone said to me “Here, put this in your pocket.” And I didn’t have any pockets,

Money -> bra or sock

Weapon -> waistband

Drugs -> rectal cavity

Anything else -> toss it to your sidekick (you DO have a sidekick, don't you?!?) and say "here, hold on to this."
