You will never be a janitor. You have no drill, you have no wrench, you have no plunger. You are a Timmy twisted by fads and reels into a crude mockery of blue collar workmanship.
>>18503928 (OP) some faggot at my old job used to do this, I successfully bullied him into losing the carabiner by loudly making jokes about the janitor coming whenever he'd come jangling by. felt like a douche and it wasn't even a good joke but it worked lmfao, he started putting his keys in his pockets like a non-redditor
>>18503928 (OP) People don't know this started in the early mid 2000's. It began with musicians wearing skinny girl pants circa 2002-2003. Dudes like the singer from Thursday, TBS, and Blindside would walk around festivals with their skin tight pants and their stage pass clipped to a carabiner on their back belt loop. By 2005-2006 every teenage kids wanted that emo-core rockstar aesthetic however we didn't have back stage passes to clip to our back belt loop so we just started clipping our keys on these things. If your keys were bulky enough you could tuck them into your back pocket with the carabiner clipped on. This was actually a cool look. I didn't leave the house without mine from 04- early 2007.
>>18505220 A lesbian cartoonist (origin of the Bechdel test) had her I guess gay awakening seeing a butch woman, maybe a trucker or custodian or whatever, with a key ring at a diner. Of course she was probably just emulating a man ultimately, but it came to become a lesbian encoded symbol as it was uncommon for women to wear them at the time. There's even a musical about her life.
>>18503928 (OP) I have a little carabiner thing on my keys but I keep them inside my pocket, with the carabiner clipped to the edge so they hang nice and flat inside my pocket and are easy to get out instead of bunching up in an annoying lump at the bottom of my pocket.

>>18504478 Kind of agree. I used to do it when I didn't have a car and I liked it. Now I have a car and the car key makes it a bit too bulky and less cool looking.

>>18505144 That's a sad story for everyone involved.
>>18505144 You sound like a bitchy woman. You should get a gender reassignment surgery and get it over with.

>>18505565 no it wasn't bro it was literally de rigeur fashion every musician from 1993 thru 2003 maybe some dykes picked it up on the way but they didnt invent that shit
>>18505706 I'm only giving the queer context of its use. Bechdel's comics about dykes are from the 80's. Lesbians have worn them since the 70's to signal to other lesbians, like how gay men wore a bandana. But that was adopted to look masculine/androgynous, working-class men have worn them all throughout the decades so no need to fret, it would only be confusing if you're a straight woman wearing one.

>>18508070 >This only works it already did work tho
>>18503928 (OP) >>18505220 Yeah, I started seeing people say this recently. Dykes definitely didn't invent this and it's not recent either. Why say it then?

>>18508865 Faggots are never so tacky as to wear this shit on any loop. That shit's for clueless heteros and dykes.
