Anyone else keep trying to keep putting their headphones in the top?

Funny, I was thinking the same thing after reading your unhelpful antagonizing posts. When you finally move out on your own without your parents help, maybe you'll learn some manners.
Why did they move the headphone jack to the bottom left?
Now it's right where my pinky rests and it is constantly chafing it. I have seen several others mention this issue on here.
It would seem that the best location would be up top where it was for in pocket use.

Yet you mentioned it again.
Is more natural when you're listening to music with headphones on and you put your phone in your pocket. When you go to take it out, the phone is straight instead of upside down.

I meant I have seen others mention the chafing, not the placement or reason for it, in other threads casually, I have not seen any threads or posts address my question.
That is a fairly reasonable explanation, however. I still wish it was on top though.
If Apple designed it your way, then someone else would complain that they did not design it the way they want it. They can't please everyone.
And it's awkward when you also have the lightening cable plugged in to have cords in the top and bottom of the device.

I actually agree with this one point, it is cumbersome having cords coming out of both ends. It limits maneuverability.
Yep. And he's right. Also, the headphone jack has been on the bottom for three years now, kind of late to the game in bringing this up. I'm sure there were discussions about it three years ago you could reference.
