I’ve thought that when I rent a car, when they marry TWO giant key fobs via a cable and you have to carry them both in a pants pocket. Seriously?
Example
Another
I mean… it’s the same key!
AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH the remote master key! In your second example sqeegee. What dipshit thought that was a good idea and that all the door locks but one should have NO key access?!? Fuckin engineers and marketing pogues…oughta be … well can’t say that here …
I love how the rental agencies give you two keys locked together like that. If you lose one, you lose both. And you can’t break it apart so you and your spouse can each have a key to the rental car. We’ve taken to bringing wire cutters so we can separate them - otherwise it’s pointless to give us both.
Of course a lot of agencies now just give one key (the last few times I’ve rented it’s been that way).
Last time i rented we just got one key. And it had a switch that allowed us to put the key blade into the fob, like a pocket knife closes. That was an improvement over those horrible huge keys that are eager to put a hole in your pocket.
I have no problem with a single remote/access fob in my pocket (Male here). The problem starts when you have multiple vehicles. We have 4, and carrying four of those monstrosities isn’t an option. I bought 4 of the detachable keyrings and put an individual fob on half of each one, then my few other keys on the other half of one (and tossed the 3 unused halves, if that makes sense). The fobs hang on a key holder in the kitchen, and I grab the one I need for the vehicle I’m using, and mate it to my other keys on the way out.
All of us have a car (wife, daughter and me) and I have a truck also. Although we usually stick to our own cars, I frequently grab whatever vehicle is LIFO’d in the driveway stack for short errands.
Cars don’t always go back to the same agency that rents them. They want to keep them together so that if/when they sell the car after a few years, they still have both keys.
Not a purse, definitely not a fannybag, I carry a pouch.
I liked it so much that I bought two more in different colors. It holds my wallet, keys, credit cards, cash, nail trimmers, pen, vape pen, knife, hearing aid batteries, notes, etc.
Thank god it’s tactical.
Honestly, the effort they go through in the pictures to establish “Not a purse!” is pretty funny. But it does look useful.
To the OP–I think the reason your gender matters is that if you were a woman who didn’t carry a purse, you also don’t reliably have pockets or belt loops. As a man, you likely do, which opens up those options.
Wow, I was with you right up to the last sentence. Then there was a mental malfunction that sent me into the hypervolume of the tesseract for a second, and I was wondering why you had pancakes in your driveway…:smack:
But . . . it’s not a purse! 
It looks more like a camera case than like a purse.
Yeah, we have two cars, and they both have giant keys, and we switch off between who uses each. And I’ve gone one step beyond you – I no longer attach the car key to anything. It sits on its own in my pocket, like my pocketknife. And I only carry one at a time.
We keeps ours in our little pocketses. Precioussss.
My fob is attached to an old 8MB memory stick. On the occasions where it doesn’t fit comfortably in my pocket, I can just slide the stick into my pocket and let the fob hang on the outside.
I don’t get why telephones got so thin I’m afraid to hold them for fear they’ll break, yet car keys got so thick I have to compete with them for pants space.
I haven’t read all the intervening posts, but wanted to comment - when we rented a car, we simply asked them to separate the two keys. They got out a lovely little heavy duty clipper and separated them for us. They warned us about the mega bucks they’d charge if we lost either of them. But they did not require us to keep them together.
On my two most recent vehicles, one had a far better key design than the other;
2011 Honda Element; the remote function was a separate dongle, and the plastic used was poor quality, it kept breaking at the keyring section, causing the remote fob to break off the keyring
2012 VW Golf TDI (my current daily); uses the ubiquitous “Switchblade” key design, where the key bit folds back into the fob, and is released with a switchblade-esque deployment button, the key “teeth” are also reverse-etched into the bit via laser, which makes the car nearly impossible to have the lock picked, the “teeth” are an irregular shaped groove on the inside of the bit
a far more elegant solution, and the switchblade mechanism is a great fidget tool to boot 
it also takes up less pocket real-estate than a 2 piece key/fob setup.
I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and this is my first vehicle with a fob. I pretty much leave them on my computer desk when I’m home and at work I leave them on my desk. I used to keep the fob (which is good size) in my pocket, but sometimes it would trigger the panic alarm. 
My own car is old, but from car rental experiences in the past year or two I can’t see that the keys are that much bigger than they were, say twenty years ago. Like a lot of people I dislike having my front pockets stuffed full of stuff, and I limit that pretty much to just keys and change, but it works for me just as well with the slightly larger car keys used today.
My work pants have a small pocket at the ankles. I keep the fob in there and never have to deal with it or think about it. Otherwise, if I’m wearing normal pants or jeans, I just put it in my front pocket. Often, I’ll put it in the pocket-watch pocket that jeans have. It’s pretty convenient for that. I don’t keep other keys on the fob, so it fits fine. I have a key ring with keys, but I don’t carry that around with me.
