Stupid question: What IS this thing CALLED?

[Patient7]

..."The image is of a lanyard, yes a lanyard."  Do you have a problem with that sentance?

Just that you misspelled sentence.

Whoops, I wasn't paying attention  .  Sorry people.

...it's just something else to take up space in my pocket.

Having a problem with too much space in your pocket?

If you read it correctly; which you didn't, it was already crapped and I didn't have room. It's English, it's a tricky language.

It's English, it's a tricky language.

For you...yes.

They are useful in some situations, and for some items.  A breakaway neck lanyard can be useful, like for keys or a whistle.  I use them on items that I might drop, such as a camera, compass, knife, etc.  I usually make mine from 550 cord.

All the teachers at my school wear those for their I.D.s but my math teacher last year took it to a completley different level.  He added two flash drives and his keys!  Believe me you look like a dork with two flash drives and a set of keys dangling from your neck.

Wow. It's like the 21st-century pocket protector full of pens.

Math teachers are a different breed anyway.

I think that's because they teach numbers and not words, I think most physics teachers are similar to or are math teachers, leading to this hypothesis.

Speaking of lanyrads, this was set ona  company-wide e-mail this very day:
"Today you will find an emergency contact card in your mailbox.  It is to be kept on your lanyard with your key card.  This card is a quick reference for contact numbers from both internal and external phone lines.  "


Now I'll HAVE to get a lanyard

[AndyC]

I call them "annoying" I take them off and pitch them as it's just something else to take up space in my pocket.

I learned long ago that almost any non-metallic object attached to my keys is eventually going to come off in my pocket anyway, so my keys are on a plain old ring. Well, two rings with a clasp, so I can separate my car keys if necessary.

Well, me I like having something I could grasp to keep the keys from tumbling out of my hand, so I started with small pocketknives.  Now I've got a cool Swiss Army knife on my key chain, along with a fob to get into my apartment and five keys.

A person should never go anywhere without a pocket-knife. Most of my family carries one, me included. Back before my grandfather died, he carried on for years that became affectionately know as the 'rib-sticker'...moonshiners are a different breed.
