    My girlfriend has pepper spray on hers in addition to about 15 keys, a huge key fob, and she also collects keychains.

    They don’t fit in any of my pockets.

      Same, I don’t get how people can have shit on them beside keys. My truck and car are from the 80s so they’re nice and flat and even with 3 different door keys and two lock keys, my ring is only as thick as a new car fob by itself basically.

    Why do some people do this? Like my keys are just the keys and a worn to shit batman styled multi tool, it started black and is now grey with black accents.

      I don’t have a ton of stuff on my keys, but I do have a cute little rabbit from a Day of the Dead restaurant I went to on vacation. I love the little bunny because when my keys fall into the depths of my biggest purse, I can just reach in, feel for the stuffy squish, and pull.

      My keys consist of house, mailbox, bike chain, rabbit stuffy, TMNT Lego, and 3 library cards. My car key fob is on a separate ring with a long lanyard to find easily.

      My wife says so she can find them in her purse. I put a quick release on her actual keys for this exact situation. I can unhook all of her junk and just have her keys.

        I put a S-biner on my Jeep key for the summer because my wife liked to drive it with the top & doors off & girl clothes don’t have reap pockets. She proceeded to take the key off of the quick release and attach it via the split ring to her car keys, airpod case, and little clutch purse so she wouldn’t lose it.

        I explained that she could just unclip the key & she said “I did, but I still had to hook it to my stuff.” When I explained that it unhooks from both sides, leaving the key on the clip so she could have just clipped it on, that was “too hard” and I was “being complicated”.

      you put your keys inside your pocket

      she puts her keys inside the bag of holding. increasing volume reduces chances of it getting lost in this bottomless pit

      i locked my keys in my car 4 times in a year and i learned that the bigger and noisier my keys are, the harder it is for me to forget them

      I have 2 flat things connected to my keys that are flat, so they aren’t bulky in my pocket, but they make them easier to grab.

      Yeah, “car key” is just the fob thing for the push start and this engraved metal store that says “We Love You” in my daugthter’s handwriting, which is the only reason it’s on there. I can’t stand big kets and my wife is the most egregious offender.

      I recently just discovered that Subaru lets you do some kind of code thing with the button that opens the trunk, so you can just leave your key in the car if you go for a run or hiking or something.

      I never lock my house, but there’s also generally someone home or I’m only out for a couple minutes.

    My keys are on a stretchy thingy that attaches to a hook in my purse. Which usually hangs in front of my butt. So we say my ass unlocks doors because most of my keys are fobs. My wife has said to me in this last week “[YMCA] get over here I need your ass to unlock this” unironically. To which I responded “here just take my ass and unlock it yourself” and I handed her my purse, we have fun.

        Careful, DO NOT share photos of keys with the teeth visible. It’s possible to duplicate keys from a photo.

        Depends on your threat model of course, if you’re just a guy (or gal) with no enemies or online fame/infamy, you probably don’t need to worry about things like that. Just be aware of the possibility.

    People with those types of weird wingdings, dingbats, dinguses, doohickeys, and thingamabobs crowding their keychains always puzzle me.

    Why not have proper, normal things one would use as key chains? Like:

    • A length of 7 links of cobalt kiln recovery chain you found on the floor of an industrial site.
    • The pin of a fire extinguisher.
    • A 7gb usb flash drive in the shape of a key that used to contain an encyclopedia but that now contains a Linux boot.
    • A heavy-duty rigging hook.

    I have mixed feelings when it comes to keychains. Big keychains give you something to grab which is practical, especially when wearing gloves. But keychains also add more weight and bulk.

    I’m my city in the mid-late 90s it was popular for girls to have long daisy chains of keychains hanging out of their back pockets, longer the better. The clatter between classes was maddening.

    It was like a right of passage to steal your first fistful of sassy keychains from Spencer’s or Claire’s. So dumb.

    I’d say the boys were more rational, but guys would compete to have the longest wallet chain (I had a degreased bike chain) if you were punk/alternative, or the widest Lane wallet (probably fake) sticking inches out of your back pocket.

    Oh yeah, and way too long braided leather belts that hung down past your knee.

    Edit: Maybe they were wide non folding zip around Coach wallets. I just remember they were super easy to steal.
