Pocket drifting

Pocket drifting is when your phone does things against your will or knowledge while in your back pocket. These things are a result of the complex manipulations of your rump, gait, and sitting movements. The results can be incredible, hard-to-believe, annoying, harmless, pernicious, serendipitous, frustrating or embarrassing. For example, you might accidentally text gibberish to the one person in your contact list that you’ve been trying to avoid for weeks, or you might unknowingly run up your phone bill by calling people outside of your plan. Pocket drifting is a term that encompasses others, including, ‘pocket browsing’, ‘pocket calling’, ‘pocket comment’, ‘pocket dialing’, ‘pocket mail’ and so on.
