I do not understand this but maybe it's because I'm a guy and keep my keys in my front pocket. I keep literally the BARE MINIMUM of things on my key chain. So far as I even have separate keychains for separate vehicles instead of having one key chain for all of them. My SO on the other had has 2lbs of trinkets on her keychain.

Opposite goals. If it's in your pocket it needs to be minimal size. If it's deep in your purse, it needs to be easy to grab.
Makes complete sense. Well said
And if it's on a carabiner on your belt loop, you want a middle ground which is a situation in which large hair ties really shine. Added bonus, you're likely the sort who needs one regularly and likes being able to offer one to people who need one.
Is it possible she's a medieval dungeon master?

I don't have Seperate Keychains for each vehicle, I have all of my vehicle keys on quick releases, so I can just clip on the vehicle key I want to drive. It's great. I do sacrifice minimalism a bit for some practicality in other ways, but yeah, I try to keep it light.
- My house key.
- Parent's house key.
- Current vehicle key.
- Minimal flashdrive with Ventoy on it.
- Different minimal flash drive for normal files stuff.
- USB C to A adapter so I can use the flashdrive with my phone/steamdeck/etc. I keep this on the end on a flash drive.
- Google FindMy Tracker because I am the type to misplace my keys.
- Smallest bottle opener I could find.
- Telescopic pen, mainly for geocaching, as I've forgetten a pen way too many times.
- Sofirn SC01 mini flashlight. They don't seem to sell this anymore unfortunately. It's a super tiny stainless steel (so it matches my pen and flashdrives) 10180 powered flashlight that's actually pretty bright.
Sounds like a lot of crap, but it ends up looking like this, which isn't too bad, considering all of the utility it has.
The Ventoy stick i have is a Lexar 128GB one that has both A and C on it. Highly recommend as thats then one less thing to carry.
My place has a lock with an key fob. I cloned it to a sticker snd put it on my license. I can leave with my car key, license, and CC and be good.
You should get an S carabiner for the flash drives so you don't have to plug your keys into your computer.

One of the best things I ever bought was this bad boy.

You have to change all your locks to have only one type of keys though.
No, it's pretty obviously just rods going through the "eye" of the keys, any kind with holes (which are the vast majority) should work. They're obviously gonna use the same kind of keys in the product photos but that doesn't mean its a forced thing. If it was a forced thing they'd not sell at all and wouldn't have come to the position of being mentioned here.
My muscle memory of knowing exactly how to move the keys to get the key I need and which keys I need to cycle through to find the one I need would be soo thrown off from this. Is it as handy as it looks that it'd be worth the trouble of relearning?
I had the same one, and my biggest complaint was that the screws would come undone in my pocket.
But the second biggest complaint was that keys on opposite sides could sometimes get stuck together.
I got rid of it and replaced it with a belt clip carabineer one and it's great. It also doubles as a belt end holder if your belt doesn't have one.
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?
Chances are, the encyclopedia company bought a batch that had bad sectors for this.
The key contained an 'update' to the encyclopedia, probably because it was cheaper than what they did before, which was releasing supplements.
All the data inside was about 1.7Gb or something like that, the entire encyclopedia in digital form, plus whatever updates they didn't bother release in paper.
That encyclopedia was never used, of course. It has always been just a scam on an old lady that ended up becoming decoration, like many other leather-bound books in the house.
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.
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
it's just fun.
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
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
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.
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.
That's what my key ring looks like :3
I have 2 keys.
Don't hold out on us, show us a picture! Let us judge your tchotchkes!
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.
Straps keys to the belt loop on jeans
I AM THE KEY CHAIN NOW
guy. this is rediculous. girl. well lets see your keys. guy pulls out massive pile of mini multitools.

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.
I never put keys in my pocket anyways. They go on a clip that hooks to my belt clip or pants.
meanwhile, I have like 3 keys. Car key, two front door keys.
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.
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.
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.
Take keys, hand back pocket chachkies
I have two house keys, one small mailbox key, and a mini library card on my key ring. I don't even keep my car key on that thing.
A real charming young lady
