    No, but I'm old enough to remember my granddad called it and have the railroad watch he used to carry there. He was an engineer and the trains ran on time. Interesting how long the design lasted.

    I read somewhere that Trains was the reason time ran on time.

    As in, before trains "Mid-day" was a different time wherever you went, it was just the time that the church rang the bell. Sure it was around midday because the sun was up there right at the top, but it wasn't exactly midday.

    Then the trains came along and they had timetables. To start with they could leave one station a quarter past twelve and arrive at the next one at 5 to twelve, so they had to synchronise the time over the whole line, so that's why time runs on time.

    Are we doing "good human" here or are we eschewing that as a "reddit thing"?

    “The small pocket in jeans, often referred to as the "watch pocket" or "coin pocket," was originally designed to hold pocket watches. Nowadays, it's commonly used for carrying small items like coins, keys, or other small objects.”

    How many people using pocket watches have you come across this year?

    Maybe we should bring that back! I never liked wrist watches.

    I really like pocket watches and have tried them out. Skeleton pocket watches are beautiful but kind of hard to read. Main issue is that they are usually mechanically spring powered which requires proper winding technique and doing it frequently.

    In literally every pair of pants I have, I use that to store a hair elastic or two. Then whenever I need my hair up (eg, eating and hair would get in the way), I have one easily on hand.

    Hah, just the other day I realized the 'tiny' pocket on my Guess jeans is actually large enough to easily hold an entire Leatherman multitool!

    Lucky me, now that I know they make their mini pockets that big, I'll probably make sure to go for Guess jeans in the future next time I go clothes shopping 👍

    A half used carpenters pencil is what mine finds itself being used for most often. New ones stab my side and if they're too short they just get lost in there.
