Carry cell in pants or in briefcase?

Where should I carry my cell phone? I suppose if I carry it on my body, it shouldn't be in the pocket of my slacks, which could stretch them out, but rather on in one of those holster-thingies. What about carrying it in the briefcase instead? Also: always on vibrate, never any ring?

Thanks

maybe you should throw it up in the air..and let it land on the floor..

that way you dont have to worry about where to carry it

 

How will carrying your cell phone in your pants actually stretch them out unless your phon eis the one of the 1980s mega heavy phone or unless you were tight girly pants? When you call yourself "A guy" I imagine you are actually a guy. I would put it in my pocket simply becaue if my briefcase ever gets stolen I don't lose my cell phone

 

sorry but this is too much. i would leave it in your samsonite briefcase. that way if your associate calls, youll never be able to answer it in time. make sure to set the password on the briefcase too, just to lengthen the cluster fuck that ensues when your phone rings.

 

i figured this thread was a joke but guess i was wrong. I mean, they say there's no such thing as a stupid question... but this one proves that wrong.

 

You people will make threads on anything.

If your not well endowed like me, I suggest the pocket. Will keep the ladies guessing.

 

I would suggest that you put it in an interior coat pocket on vibrate. If it has to have sound, turn is on the quietest, least obnoxious ringtone available. Otherwise, you are a douchebag.
