I would hate to be attached to my cell phone to the point where I felt I had to wear a Bluetooth. Call me old, say I am out of the loop--I couldn't care less. Yes, I do bring my cell to work with me, but it sits in the drink holder and if I use it 5 times during the day that is a lot. A great day is when it sits there idle for the whole day.
I keep mine in the drink holder as well because it would just get knocked off my belt or fall out of my pocket. I can't wear a watch for the same reason. Handling boxes while wearing a watch just doesn't work for me.
Both of those - Me too.
And add carry a wallet while parceling.
A wallet in the back pocket is the number one cause for sciatic nerve damage in males. Combine that with bouncing in a P500 seat and you have a damaged nerve or depleted bursa that haunts you the rest of your life. I now carry my thin front pocket wallet with very few necessaries.

Problem? What problem?
The very first time I went to a chiropractor one of the first questions he asked was, "Do you take your wallet out of your back pocket while you are driving?". Now I can't hardly stand carrying it in my pocket.A wallet in the back pocket is the number one cause for sciatic nerve damage in males.

I have never heard of it effecting the hands or fingers, but I sure believe it. That one little nerve seems to go EVERYWHERE. I have a hard time with folded handkerchief in my back pocket at times. I guess I should get a back pack to use, that would get me more room without stuff in my front pockets.The first month of running feeders I started to loose the feeling in my little fingers on Tuesday or Wednesday. One of the old timers asked why I was massaging my little fingers at a turnaround point. I told him my fingers were numb and he quickly told me to quit sitting on my wallet. Within a day the feeling returned to my fingers and I never kept my wallet in my pants pocket again.
Later when I bumped into package the sup that was training me asked why I kept my wallet in my right shirt pocket and I told him my story. He quit sitting on his wallet and within a week his back problems went away too even as a sup sitting in the office. Back then there were no jump seats for the helpers or riders.
