2 irrational dislikes in life

a) Attired men, who drape undone bow-ties around their neck, for that sophisticated, end of the evening look
b) People who carry  weighty bunches of keyrings around, burdened with dozens of pointless keys.

One doorkey for me, attached to a light, rounded keyring.
(Car key is a card, which is annoying, because I can't attach the two together,
meaning I occasionaly forget the doorkey, to get back in, if the house is empty)

All other keys - back door, conservatory, shed, bike etc. have their own keyrings and only come out when necessary

What's the point of carrying a monolithic bunch of metal around everywhere?
Plus, I loathe blokes who undo their bow-ties

Car keys are electronic blobbins that live in a pot on the microwave

There's another key-ring I'd forgotten about so I'll detail it here:

Shed keyring:

1 x shed key
1 x massive solid diamond

People often forget to have a little name and address tag on their key-rings. It saves so much hassle in the case of loss.

There's also a garage that's not wide enough for the car and is, to all intents and purposes, a rather well-appointed shed, if that counts. Well, it's wide enough for the car but you'd have to climb out through the back door if you wanted to park in there.

It's all give and no take, this thread, isn't it.

Another pet hate for poppydog - What about that certain kind of man (and it's always a man) who has his keys in his pocket attached to a long chain which is, in turn, attached to a belt loop? Death by ferrets for them, imo.

Man I play golf with occasionally has his tee peg attached to a bunch of keys with a piece of string (honest), so that when he plays his shot, his tee peg doesn't go flying and get lost.
I know a tee peg's not a key, but I thought forumites would find this both novel and interesting.
But perhaps not.

Genuinely, what's a tee peg - is it just an ordinary golf tee

Furthermore, does the string not interfere with his swing?

Acrylic tag with paper insert
"car and house keys" one side
"name name" and "e-mail@eircom.net" other side

Front door mortice lock key
Front door mortice lock key
Front door Yale lock key
Car key

No address on the tag for obvious reasons.
Two mortice locks on the front door.
A plastic box of other keys/spares under the car passenger seat.

Tee peg is the thing you put your ball on before you hit/miss it (the tee is the big green thing covered in grass where you stand to hit the ball).
He takes the keys out of his pocket and places them near the tee peg before he strikes the ball.  If you think about it, if he kept his keys in his pocket with the string attached to the tee peg, when he plays his shot he would probably send his trousers down the fairway as well as the ball.
Some people say golf is boring, but not where I play.

Side-entrance gate key

Like Ken I would keep my car keys on top of the microwave if I owned a car. Or a microwave.
I would also like to have a key to the shed door, but equally the shed would like to have a door that closes.

My sheds don't have locks either on the basis that the shed is worth more than the contents and I don't want it trashed by thieves trying to get in.
I've seen people with keys attached to a little chain and also with a little holster on the belt for their phone. What are they trying to say about themselves?

that tee peg keyring is a good idea. I might try marketing a gardeners key ring with a spade and/or fork.
