I haev 2 problems with that. Firstly, UK mains plugs (which are
invariably side cable entry) can be quite irritating in a pocket.
Seocndly, and more imporntatly, I worry I'd forget it's there and walk
away from my workbench with the plug sitll in my pocket. If the device is
small, I can see it crashign to the ground and leaving me with a bigger
repair job. If the device is large, I can see myself in the embarassing
position of being trouserless...

For electrical/electronic devices with a built-in
mains lead, I've been
known to remove the cartridge fuse from the plug , just in case some
homicidal lunatic decides to plug it in while I'm working on the device.
Putting the pug end of the lead into your pocket also works.
