10 Things To Do With That Bandanna in Your Back Pocket
Do you know what I always wondered? Why DO all those southern boys walk around with bandannas in their pockets? Is it a boy scout thing? A gentlemen thing? So I asked around and found out… it’s a southern thing. Turns out there’s a hell-ton of uses for that little rag that I never really considered! Here were the most popular suggestions I was given by our readers:
- You can use a bandanna to stuff in a radiator if the cap blows off.
- Bandannas make a great gag if your woman won’t shut up.
- Bandannas make a better sweatrag than anything else when you’re playin a show.
- A wet bandanna’ll snap a sumbitch’s ass as good as any towel.
- Bandanna’s can be tied around a gaping fleshwound to stop the bleedin’.
- Some chick said her bandannas make good hairties, but I thought this was a southern BOY thing!
- Then her boyfriend said bandannas make good wrist restraints. Salvation!
Other suggestions were made along the lines of potholders, snotrags, impromptu baby diapers, skinny chick tube tops, lunchbags, sling rock throwers, and the like… Turns out there’s a hell of a lot more to that little red rag than I thought!

also gay men used to wear different colored bandannas in the back pockets to signify what they were cruising for.

actually this isn’t good in most parts. It gives the signal that you’re a gang member. If you have a red bandana hanging from your rear pocket it’s saying you’re part of the “bloods” gang and if you have a blue one hanging from your pocket you in the “crips”. It would be safe to carry that bandana folded up in your pocket. Don’t travel into neighborhoods youre not familiar with hanging a bandana in your rear pocket. My co-worker almost got killed because he was working with gang member and didn’t know it til later on. The manager spoke to him and told him not to let his bandana hang out or else he’ll be dead by the end of the day.
