   Putting an unreasonable quantity of linen things through the wash instead of anything else from Laundry Mountain just so I can have things to iron for an hour of three, so I can focus on this fucking podcast because I apparently cannot unless I have something to do with my hands, and am regrettably sans any hand sewing. 😶

     @sinituulia this whole thing where the things you want to do and the things you want to listen to / watch have to match is *very* relatable

     @sinituulia i actually almost always wear vest-like jacketpulloverthing (i like to be able to just open the zipper for optimal temperature management :) ) but having a phone in its pocket is annoying, modern phones are just too large and solid to carry in a pocket that can "flap about".

     I have to admit It's nice to have a computer in your pocket at all times, but fashion needs to go with the times and offer phone pockets, like the small pockets that evolved in suits to carry pocket watches.

     @mavu A good pocket requires either drafting experience or multiple experiments in the best shape... Both things that are easy enough to cut out of the process for cost savings! Although I don't know if we've seen such humongous and slippery phones before. 😅 Some vest pockets would be much better suited for flat objects, like books, but nobody wears vests any more, I guess

     @sinituulia i can offer you the hand sewing task of modifying the pockets of 2 pairs of trousers so the phone doesnt fall out every damn time i sit down.
     The fashion war on trouser pockets seems to have reached menswear now.

     (Disclaimer: not really offering the task, I'm looking forward to doing it myself, this has just been an opportunity to complain about dumb pocket designs.)
