Hakuna Matata,
Do you own a bicycle you rarely ever ride? Perhaps the unknown key is for your bicycle lock?
Which one of you has the key to my heart?
I think it’s in the drawer with my bike room key. Sorry, did you want that back?
Yup - 4 keys all accounted for:
House
Car
Car “Club”
Bike lock
A couple of folk said they enter their house using their garage door opener. Just curious - what would you do if the power went out while you were out?
dude…
I definitely have keys I cannot identify… I’m pretty sure that they are very important too… Like the master keys to the university i attended… shit like that…
but since i don’t go there, there isn’t any real point in keeping them… I guess I should just pitch them…
I not only know what all of them are for, I can tell you what they all do without even looking:
car
front door
mailbox
back door
ex-wife’s house (for emergencies)
girlfriend’s house
work
And don’t go reading anything into the order. They’re in that order to keep the ones I use most often (car, front door, work, girlfriend’s house) closest to the outsides.
Damn, I was so sure I’d get them all.
Apartment key
Girlfriend’s place key
Filing cabinet
Work truck
???
School ‘master’ key #X42 (opens specific kinds of doors)
Master lab key
School master #4
Mailbox
Garage
Subaru
Lab master #EW7
Handcuff key (for sexytime, a backup in case I lose the others)
??? Mysterious work related, had a label too faded to read.
Various charms, an LED light and a small 4GB USB stick.
I’ve always been fascinated with other people’s keys… As a child I was amazed by the hedgehog of brass and steel that grownups effortlessly navigated I have a strong suspicion that you could plot keys on one’s keyring versus age and get a sigmoid curve.
Since this got bumped…turns out the key was to my dad’s house. I was visiting him this last weekend and somewhere along the line he obviously gave me a key to his house. I just don’t remember him doing that. But I now know what all the keys on my chain are for!
After much thought I can finally say yes to this question. Heres my list!
- key for my flat
- key for my flat (main front door)
- key for the laundry room
- key for the windows
- keys for the lobby
- mil house key
- car key
- the gate key for my buildings car park
- the key for my works main building
- my locker key at asda (i havent worked at asda since 2005 - i just dont have the heart to take it off!)
- my hello kitty diary key
- two keys for my parents front door
Think thats it! Thats a lotta keys!
Keyring the first: ignition key; club™ key.
Keyring the second: LED illuminator; 3 work keys; keys for a lock that used to be on storage unit #1; storage unit #2; personal mailbox; house key; storage unit #1; mystery key #1; mystery key #2; mystery key #3. (Actually I might know what those last three are for but I haven’t had occasion to use them in forever.)
Keyring the third: motel room.
It seems I have too many keys.
Car key, apartment key, garage key, mailbox key, firebox key, (work) desk key.
In the toolbox is a ring that has padlock keys for the padlocks that are in the toolbox. When those padlocks are actually locking something, the key(s) are on the keyring.
I don’t keep for more than a month or so old or unused keys. They get returned to whoever needs them or thrown away, as appropriate.
Three keys: house, car, bike lock. Until last month I had four, the fourth being the key to the front door at work; I assume I’ll get a few new keys when I finally land a teaching job.
When I was doing my student teaching I had two more keys. One was to the locking drawer of my desk. The other unlocked my office door, the door to the corridor with the faculty offices, the faculty toilets, the film room in the library, and every single classroom in the building. On the same key. No way that could possibly go wrong, right? :smack: (And you’ll understand why I kept all valuables on my person or in the locking drawer of my desk, at all times.)
- House Key
- Bedroom Key (my roommates are ok, but their friends I can’t be too sure of)
- Car Key
- PO BOX #1
- PO BOX #2
- Key to Safe (one of those fireproof things, not really a typical safe)
- Key to storage room (side of house, exterior)
