The electronic gadget that is supposed to open the van and set it’s alarm but it doesn’t work. The electronic gadget that DOES work my garage and front door deadbolt remotely. My van key. Key to the back door. Two keys for the front door (regular and deadbolt). Key to the bedroom. A clippy thingy I can’t describe. It’s some kind of hook. One of those circular screwdrivers - they are flat, shaped like a circle and have like four tabs that each is a different size screwdriver? It says 4 way pocket screwdriver on it. A wrench type thingy that will work the electric switches at O’Hare airport that a friend of mine gave me who used to be a union electrician. A baby swiss army knife. ---

Keys for: Apartment complex door Apartment door Back door Storage locker Mailbox Car And my keychain itself is a little silver Colosseum souvenir I picked up in Rome. I can’t imagine carrying around keychains like half of you people have. I’d need to put it on wheels and drag it behind me! ---

Mine is pretty sparse. Apartment key 2 keys to my parents house Bud Light bottle opener (necessary) Small rubber Mizzou thing I got for free Until recently I had two keys to one of my best friend’s apartment, but he moved out so those are gone. I don’t like to have too much on my keychain because I often put them in my pocket and I don’t wear pants super loose with tons of pocket room. ---

Oh yeah, I have my car key on there as well. Duh. And a spare in my wallet. And the 2 keys to my parents house - one unlocks the two locks on the front door. The other is a holdover from when I was younger and my parents locked their bedroom door during the day because my brother always had people over. They did not trust his friends, but they gave me a key in case I needed anything from their room when I was home (always stole mom’s haircare products and such). My brother had so many people in and out of our house back then, I definitely do not blame them for locking their door. ---

Oh, fine. Now I’m lusting after even more stuff to put on my keychain. (Thanks to everyone who put links to nifty items. And the fobs described are (as you would expect from these boards) a fascinating collection. I know there’s a sociological or cultural research paper just begging to be written. Or maybe a coffee table book … [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-on-your-key-chain/387026.md?page=3)
