How is Cash "Inconvenient"?

Someone here told me it was. "Inconvenient", that is. How? Are those plastic dollar bills really so heavy? I've never had a credit card, nor have I ever bought anything online; I've only ever used cash. It's convenient (yes, it is), safe, anonymous and real.

Apologies if I annoyed you with my questions.

It's inconvenient as you may never know how much you might need, then end up carrying too much on you. If you get robbed, obviously there is no recourse if cash is stolen from you. If you carry a credit card that won't happen.

@SumKindaMunster No, it's okay. It's just that I was really surprised you said what you did about cash.
