Which way do you keep your phone in your pants pocket?

Upside down and inward, so that when I put my hand in my pocket it's already in the correct position in my hand, and my finger rests on the sensor so I unlock it as I take it out.
Also headphone jack is on the bottom so that's another reason.

Same here. Really surprised at the amount of people who have the phone upside down.
I used to run with my phone in my pocket upside down, screen inward but my leg sweat fucked up my speaker. Now I'm upside down screen outward.
When I'm at work and wearing scrubs I always have it face out. I usually have it connected to my Bluetooth headphones and that keeps my phone unlocked so if the face is towards my butt then crazy hijinks ensue.
I keep my phone in a belt pouch ever since phones started having big screens. But I still insert my phone in the pouch the same way I used to when keeping it in my pants pocket. Upside-down, screen facing in.
Where the "I'm female, none of my clothing options have pockets big enough for phones" choice for the poll?
Left front pocket, upside-down, screen facing inward. All day, every day.
I have a permanent imprint of my phone on many of my pants/jeans, though granted it just looks like a rectangle 🤣

Fixed the poll! I thought the "I don't" option would suffice but I wasn't being thoughtful enough.
Welp, at this early stage of the poll, I belong to the overwhelming majority.
Always screen inward -- the impact outside forces could potentially have against my leg could crack that shit so easily (and this is how I've seen most cracked screens happen to friends). I only place it downward because that's the side that my wired headphones have always plugged in. I'm wireless now (rip headphone jack) but it's an old habit that hasn't gone anywhere yet. I guess it's just a better position for my hand to be in as I pull it out as far as accessing my fingerprint reader goes, too.

What kind of malevolent deviant does phone rightside up, screen facing out

You know, with my old phone I'd keep it right-side up with the screen facing in since the headphone jack was on top but now that I got a new phone with it on the bottom, I'm gonna have to start putting it in my pocket upside down.
Huh
Huh
Used to be upside down, facing out for the longest time because I just did it without thinking. Came to my senses a little while ago and do upside down, facing in now. I have a case so the outside is protected, the screen is protected from cracking (banging into table edges, etc.) and I don't need to adjust my grip from pulling it out, to using it.
The people I don't understand are the ones that keep their phone on the opposite side to the hand they use (i.e. right-handed but keep phone in left pocket).

This meme was always dumb because Piccolo canonically has no testicles and therefore cannot make double entendres about his balls.
