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.
I used to tie an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
“Gimme five bees for a quarter” we’d say
I still see daisy chains of blind box rewards. Ur good.

I AM THE KEY CHAIN NOW
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.
Where does one even find a 7gb flash drive, is that a thing?
An 8Gig flash drive with bad sectors maybe?
guy. this is rediculous. girl. well lets see your keys. guy pulls out massive pile of mini multitools.
A real charming young lady
meanwhile, I have like 3 keys. Car key, two front door keys.

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.
I have loads of keychains because my little sister gets them for me. She’s my fave person, so I can’t not put them on my keys lol
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
More evidence that giving women functional pockets would solve basically everything for everyone
it’s just fun.
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.
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.
You would be shocked how fast objects get lost in even a small handbag… So many panic attacks thinking ive lost 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”.
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
Yeah this is me lol.
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.
No house key?
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.
Electric lock goes brrr (after you put in the code)
My dad got one installed under the reasoning that the autolock after 5 seconds is safer.
I gotta figure out how to vlan my network one of these days. Lmk if anybody has a good guide to doing it on openwrt
I keep mine to an easily grabbable minimum… some keys, the main key with rubber around the key head. Remote start for car is big so no need for charms. Bad dragon lanyard for style. Good to go.
I like this except for there being no reason for her to do this. She’s literally taking the keys out of her purse, where they fit, and handing them to a person not carrying anything to fit these keys. So that part I don’t get.
Getting them out of the way so she an find something else I’d assume
She may intend to leave her purse in the car and pass off her keys to her partner who has real pockets on his pants.
Labubu where
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.
