No, not those things. Put that away. No one should see those.

What do your keys look like though? I keep it simple.

My keys = too large. Three keys for the pickup (doors, ignition, gas cap). Key and fob for the Focus. Key for the SPG. Key for our house. Key for the in-laws' house. King Soopers, Ace and Total Bev key-ring-things.

Of course it's not nearly as bad as it used to be, when I carried office keys as well.

Currently a lens-cleaning cloth for my glasses. When I leave it's my wallet, iPhone, other iPhone (work), keys and lens cloth.

Recently simplified. Better paracord to follow this winter.

Edit: Not sure why I even try posting things from my mobile...

Freaking awesome question. I got Martini, Peugeot, and beer represented, some other stuff, I have other keyrings for other cars I dont drive every day, but this is the main one

When I got mugged, all I had was a car key and my wallet. It was one of the scariest moments of my life, and I'll never take personal defense for granted again.

This is the set I carry in good weather. If the weather is bad I have the set to my truck.

Don't have pockets unless wearing jeans, but I have this in my purse with key to home and mailbox on it. Car key too big.

e34 key?

E36 key, not the one with the light in it. Not entirely sure if it's original or not. I have the other one, but I keep it as a spare.

Separate key rings for your vehicles? Novel idea!

Off to the store to get extra house keys made.

I used to carry them all on one. I hated putting that massive keyring in my pocket. So I broke it up and just started carrying the keys I would need. Yea each set has a set of house keys.

That is a rather large set of keys, my friend. Nice decorations though.

You're telling me you don't own any pants/shorts without pockets, except for jeans?

used to be bigger till I split off the other vehicles keys. They are almost never in my pocket though. Live in maine, they are usually in the car or on my desk

I do have a couple of black pants with pockets, but I don't put stuff in their pockets because bulge. I will put car key in right jeans' pocket.

Top row: Saddleback Leather card case, Nexus 4, keyring with Streamlight Nano light.

Bottom row: Magnetic money clip from Target, Opinel No. 5, Benchmade Mini-Griptilian.

I'm not allowed to carry things in my uniform pockets for ROTC, and it irks me to no end. MEN DON'T CARRY PURSES, SO WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT ALL THIS STUFF

I suppose you can't have a fanny pack either?

I have my car key with a keychain representing something I work on, and I separately carry a keyring with my other keys (house key, mail key, a couple discount card thingies, usb key)

I started doing the separate car key and house keys thing when I had a wireless key for the car as I never took the car key out to do anything, and that habit stuck. It's actually really nice, the car key is by far the biggest and bulkiest key I have, so not having to deal with a big jangly mess of keys for starting the car, or a big hunk of car key when checking the mail is really nice.

Heh, 2 out of 3 isn't too bad. Mine is an A&P. I tried flying, but as bad at navigation as I am on the ground, getting the VFR stuff down started getting expensive.

Not bad. 2010 had my favorite color, the Aqua Blue Metallic

I was going to post I liked the Dark blue/red metallic but that there is a very very slick color. Wife pushed me towards the yellow, I didn't complain much.
