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 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.
No house key?
Labubu where
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.
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.
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.
Omg FIRE
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.
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 of 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.
Where’s your chatelaine?
Had to look that up. I’m happy keeping my keys in my pocket.
You should get an S carabiner for the flash drives so you don’t have to plug your keys into your computer.
That would add some bulk, and I don’t really have issues with plugging my keys into a computer. Frankly, I don’t use the flashdrives that often, but when I need them, they’re lifesavers.
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.
I really love the form factor of the sticks I carry, the solid one piece of metal with no moving parts. The dual ones always have a swivel, though that lexar one does look nice.
The USB C adapter just goes on the end of one of the sticks so it doesn’t really add another thing to carry.
Same. I keep my car and house keys separate so I can leave my house keys in the car and just carry the car key in my pocket. My house keys are just the remote and key to get into my house, nothing else.
My wife has all the other keys in her handbag, including all the spare keys because she can’t find the main set in bag, so she takes the spares as well. Sometimes she also takes mine because she can’t find the main set or the spare set in her bag (or wherever she placed them).
No pink mace?
Friends!
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.
