What's on your key ring?

Other than the usual keys and van remote, a Leatherman Squirt and a Photon micro-light. I don't need the flashlight too often but I'm very glad to have it those few times, the Leatherman came in much handier than I thought it would. (Tweezers for splinters when we're at the park, little scissors, and occasionally it's the only small screwdriver we can find in the house.)

Mine has the car stuff, library card, loyalty cards a robot-shaped headphone splitter to keep the peace at the library when more than one kid wants to hear the game on the computer, and a p38 can opener - which hasn't come in handy yet (probably 20 years) but YOU NEVER KNOW!

 

It has a sharp edge which occasionally scratches me and sometimes snags my knitting.

 

Okay. I'm going to go take that thing off there.

My car key is carried by itself with just a hair tie twisted through the hole. I keep it in my pocket when I am shopping and I don't want bulk on it.

 

My house key, cabin key, mil house key and mail key are all on one small figure 8 key ring that is tucked in to the bottom of my purse. No decoration, just a ring with 4 small keys. In the past year, I have only used this key to get me into the cabin 2x and to lock it back up when we leave. I use the garage pass code to get in our house. There is a mail key in the shoe cupboard that is easier to get to (locking mailbox in the neighborhood). I only have my mil's key for emergency and I have never used it in the 10 years I have had it. I wouldn't even carry it, but then Murphy's Law would bite me in the tush!

I don't have a key ring, just a car key.

 

I used to have that standard, simple single silver key ring but I kept twirling it fast around my finger and losing it whenever I was out. So my son finally took it off, and now it's just me and a key. This way it stays put in my pocket, and I don't have to call him to come pick me up with the spare. And then spend $300 to replace it. Again. And then again. Sigh.

One set has a metal fob that I have had for about 15 years, my library card and a couple of supermarket points cards. I did used to have a tiny torch but it swings and gets annoying when I drive. My other set has either a small piece of reindeer antler or a leather tag, I can't remember which right now, I switch them round a lot.

keys to 3 cars, key fob, house key, church key, 3 cards--Kroger, Publix, library. That's it. My keys are on rings like these so they can be easily separated. Dh and I have to share one of the car's key because there are only 2 keys and ds1 (being the main driver of that car) has the other. And we're not ready to pay $100 for a spare.

 

Dh has a small wooden turtle on his key ring.

That is why I also have the clip on my keys. I find I don't like having them in my pocket, especially during the winter since I can end up leaving the keys in my jacket, vest, rain jacket... Then I have to go search pockets.

 

So I just clip them to my pants. Always in sight yet can't get lost.
