My work is very physical and having a flashlight in a pocket would lead to holes getting worn pretty quickly, and having one around my neck would result in me getting strangled or the lanyard "breaking away". I've my watch ripped off my wrist on numerous occassions at work (its not just the packages that get treated roughly at UPS, so do the employees!) I don't have a flashlght on my person at work, but I have one or two in my coat/jacket all the time at work which is within arms length, as well as one on my keychain. Doing yardwork outside during the summer in the daylight hours, I usually don't have a flashlight on my person either. Showering and in bed I'm sans light also, but I've usually got something within arms length.
