Yes.
I have two key rings. One has three keys: house key, office key, car key and you better believe I can keep them apart. The other ring has a penknife and a lot of keys I rarely use. Including a second house key (I was surprised; until I looked I didn’t realize I had it), two more keys to other rooms at my department (one of which I happened to use today and the other is for a room that is rarely locked), a safe deposit key, and then four keys of which two are for the back door and the door from the garage and two are mysteries, but I don’t which of the four is for the back door or the garage door.
On my desk are two handfuls of keys, all on the same blank as my office key and I cannot figure out what any of them is for.
Of course I do!
apartment
car
mailbox
cabinet at office
my father’s house
iron padlock on a glyph-engraved chest in the vault under…
Er, never mind that last one.
Only 3 keys, so yes.
If I have a key that is useless to me it goes off my key ring. At home and at work. And my work key ring has maybe 20 keys.
My key chain only has what I need. My Mig will keep any key. ANY KEY HE FINDS. I really don’t understand this at all. He has a drawer full of completely useless keys and pens that no longer work.
I have only four. Car, Home, Office, and unknown.
My work ring has about 50, and I don’t know what maybe 35 of them are for…
And I dont’ care.
Yes, if I wasn’t using a key any longer I would take it off right away.
I have two rings together. One for personal keys: apartment door, mailbox, building front door, building back door, laundry room door, BF’s apt., BF’s car. One for job keys: Job #1 door, Job #2 door, Job #2 cash drawer, Job #2 garage, Job #3 door.

I guess I can get rid of the keys to Dad’s place now, and probably the luggage keys, as everything gets locked with TSA locks now.
Years ago I went on a key reduction bender. I re-keyed all the locks in my house to a single key and a used a double cut Ford key to run both my cars. 2 keys to run my life. I also kept another 2 key set for airplane and hanger. Alas, things change. The keys started breeding and now I have house and car keys of other people living as squatters in my little 2-room key chain.
Most days I carry one key – home. Work is an ID badge. If I drive, I carry a car key.
My wife has a gigantic keyring with bangles and gewgaws. Among other things, she has a key to her parents’ house on there, and they live 1000 miles away. And when we go to visit, she leaves her keyring at home, since it’s so big, so she doesn’t use it anyway. It’s kind of a talisman, I figure.
Mostly… but I have two keys that need to be identified (or sorted.) One is to my parents’ house, the other is to the house next door to theirs, which I have sold. I need to figure out which is which, and give the extra next-door key to the owner. Or not, since that neighbor has just named me co-executor of her will, and I may need it someday.
I have just four: house, safe, padlock on my storage unit, and one for a padlock I probably couldn’t readily find if I wanted to. Oh, wait, no, I do know where it is, but it isn’t locking up anything currently.
I know them all and can pick the one I want by feel and its position on the ring.
I am too damn organized for my own good.
Gate key, 2 copies of the house key (one was cut a little off), mailbox key, storage room key and one that I know what it is but will decline to describe here.
Handcuffs?
No. That I would mention here. Though thanks for the reminder that I need to locate the cuff keys.
