Just why in the hell is it the cool thing to wear your keys outside of your pants?

Has anyone else notice this?

Conversely, did you just now notice people doing this?

When you're unemployed shit just jumps out at you. That and hanging around teenagers while harassing the electorate. You tend to notice such things.

Do you mean just casual people walking around or do people who are working count? Because the managers at work do it but thats so there's easy access to get into the locked cages and cabinets at work.

But if you just mean regular folk then yes, it's dumb. Maybe it's some thing they do to seem important? Like make you think "oh, I wonder what those keys are for? Maybe he's a manager somewhere or a security guard for something.... hmm..."; an ego type of deal? Sorta like people who always wear those blue tooth ear pieces all the time. It's an ego stroke.

No, it's an ironic hipster thing. Look how Blue Collar people like janitors where their keys! I'll wear my keys like that too, while I drink my low cost PBR.

Yeah I mean regular folk. Clearly someone who has to open a store needs the keys. But otherwise it's just really strange. I saw some 16 year old kid with a shit ton of keys. Frankly I just don't get it.

-After viewing picture-

So let me get this straight. Those keys don't go to anything They're just random keys? I mean christ I thought it could've been because the skinny jeans are so fuckin tight you can't get your keys out.

My ex did that shit. Never got it. Probably not the reason why we split, but I'm sure it didn't help her cause.

Yeah and I also saw it when I went to call out over at American Apparel. That was the fastest interview/rejection ever. And I was the only one wearing a tie.

Maybe they go somewhere, maybe they're just a fashion accessory. I REALLY hope they go somewhere though, and they just won't fit in the nuthuggers. Personally, I have 3 keys (car, and two house), and I would never wear girls jeans anyway (mainly out of pride, but also because I'm pretty sure an old sailor would try to harpoon me).

I just checked. I've got five keys. That would look incredibly idiotic.

Not to mention I tried. I can't get myself into those jeans (Mainly due to the strange genetics of me having a fat can. At least according to my gay friends) And for those who have seen me, I'm not exactly a big guy.

Also "Nuthuggers", fantastic!

Ugh, this reminds me that I have too many keys. Luckily, I'm not a retard and keep them INSIDE MY POCKET WHERE I CAN'T LOSE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL VERY IMPORTANT AND ACTUALLY GET USED.

I wear my keys like this. I never knew it was a hipster thing. In fact, I always thought it made me look old.

There are only three keys, and they all get used. I do it cause I can't stand the way they feel in my pocket.

If you can't fit a "normal" amount of keys in your jeans, they are too tight. End of story.

I do that with my keys, I only have a house key and a car key, and I do because I'm an ass and constantly lose my keys.

That would be me. And my mother says I'm "special", thank you.

I have a fair amount of keys, I guess. Two for the house, one for the car, one for our mailbox, key for my parents' house, key for work, key for my art box, key for my hopes and dreams, key to the city, Francis Scott Key, the Armageddon Key, and an old WRAT 95.9 FM bottle opener I got at a Type "O" Negative show at the Stone Pony about 10 years ago. I use that to frighten surly bikers with.

Cool thing about so many keys is if you hold 'em between your fingers just right and make a fist, you can be like Wolverine and do some serious fucking damage when you throw a punch. And it doesn't matter a damn if you don't look like Hugh Jackman!

SNIKT.

Do they go to Hot Topic and buy a big box of keys or do they get them from Goodwill?

If I wore my keys, I wouldn't be able to use my cool little Blade Runner key chain that I received from the Paul Prischman charity event.

You don't understand them because they dress differently? Well, as long as they stay off of your lawn everything should be fine.

I concur. Only outlaws and ne'er-do-wells wear such things. Case in point:



Trouble. Nothing but trouble.

No, it has nothing to do with the fact they dress differently. That was actually an attempt at humor. Admittedly some things about fashion just boggle my mind. Don't get me confused with Devin or Jacob. I'm only two years older than you Cordo.

Like I said, it was an attempt at humor. I admit I've had this running gag with me saying how old and out of it I am compared to others. Really do need to knock it off.

I don't care how people wear their keys - but having ridiculous amounts of keyrings, chains, tags etc attached to them makes me confused and angry. Why do you need all that shit attached to your keys?

So you have enough that you can wear them outside your jeans, of course.

There is one dilemma with the standard "keys inside the pocket" thing when wearing loose shorts, and that's the occasional wack in the nuts. Still won't wear them outside though.

My fat ass don't jog, Ed. Just because I'm wearing athletic shorts, doesn't mean I'm doing anything athletic. They're just comfortable, until I'm rounding the corner of the grocery store aisle too fast and my keys swing around and nail me in the bean bag. Not so comfortable then.

Hey I understand that. Mafia goes in track suits don't necessarily mean they are out there training. *Looks over at Paulie Walnuts*. But frankly no one wants to fall on their keys. That is the sort of 911 call no one wants to make.

Happens to me all the time. I think my balls are getting a tolerance towards being whacked by the keys in my pocket. This can come in handy in future situations.

I have them on a clip (looks like a mountain climbing clip) and attach it to my belt loop and tuck them inside my back pocket. My wife and I have a history of losing keys, so this is the easiest way to keep track of them--attach them to yourself. But we only have like 3-4 keys and that's it. No ball of keys on my hip or anything like that.
