I'm not sure why, but in the USMC we'd get knocked the hell out for having hands in our pockets.


This shite fricking pissed me off so much. It is easily the dumbest fricking thing in the USMC.

Every time some cheese-dick career 1Sgt or SNCO would get in somebody’s arse about that it made me ready to get out that much more.

What a fricking dumb thing they came up with. You think Chesty gave a frick about whether or not your hands were in your pockets?!

Could be one of two things.

1. He is extremely confident and as ease. He doesn’t feel threatened by you and is very relaxed and casual.

2. Like me, he keeps his hands on lock down so that he doesn’t just break into a violent windmill at the slightest provocation.

If you work for or with me I want you with :



Eyes wide open.
Ears up.
Hands out of your pockets.

I was in a televised debate once on local TV here in ORL. The producer coached us to either keep hands in pockets or on lectern fingers interlocked.

He said normal hand gestures and movements read crazy on TV.

Maybe the new-ish guy has a TV background in his CV. Give him a break tough guy. Maybe he's a dago trying to keep things under control.

He probably wears his hat at the dinner table too, right?

I was talking to a coworker last week with my hands in my pockets. I was rubbing the underside of my thumb on the keys in my right pocket. It’s an anxious energy thing I sometimes do. Dude looked at my pocket and flat out asked “What the frick are you doing?” We had a good laugh.

He must be younger than you and fresh in the corporate world, and/or stoned.
