Having to keep your phone in your hand when crossing Elizabeth and flinders street intersection because if you put it in your pocket the Bluetooth cuts out.

Huh, interesting. Mine used to cut out a top of Lonsdale and Spring st. Anything to do with having a train station below?

Probably, since it craps put at the ground floor escalators in Melbourne central as well.

It's not only dresses that women get short changed on pockets. As a man, the shirt pocket and inside jacket pockets are up nice and high on my body to keep the BT connected.

I'm not sure if it's a large man thing, but I can block my own BT, If my phone is in my back pocket and I'm bent over gardening, my BT drops out.

Yah but you can't put inside pockets too high up on women's jackets 'cos titties
