Okay so today in the Things That Are Totally Normal But I Don't Understand It category (this could literally be a discussion series) we have:

Smart phones that you keep in your back pants pocket.

You don't lose them? They don't fall out? No one steals them? It seems like a recipe for getting your phone either stolen or cracked. Perhaps my butt is just too powerful. 🤔 (Reader: this was not her problem)

My last phone was literally curved for like 4 of it's 5 years for this precise reason.

In summer, I don't have enough pockets to have a dedicated phone spot, so it often ends up back there, courting danger.

@hollie my bony butt and large abdomen would absolutely crushinate any phone left in my back pocket

@spaceraser Same. And I realize I'm a big person but there seem to be a lot of bigger folks now and Back Pocket Phone still seems to be so common, like how, where is the necessary hinge
