Thread 18503928

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.

Been doing this since I got my first car, never really gave it that much thought. Sometimes I wear it on my hip loop and tuck it into my back pocket.

True, the more hyperspecific these trends get, the more distasteful.

i am very klutzy and will lose my home keys if they're not tied to me

>>18503978
I put my house key in a zipper pocket of my wallet.

>>18503928 (OP)
been doing it since high school, will keep doing it after the trend is dead, I hate having my keys in my pocket, simple as

I think it looks good. Have you ever seen fashion carabiners? They look fire

>>18503928 (OP)
I'd do this but my keychain has way too many keys, i'd be jingling everywhere

I used to do this because I'm a landlord

>>18503928 (OP)
You can only do this if you're poorfag without car otherwise it makes no sense

Why do zoomers co-opt things, make them trendy, then kill them within a year? Niggas have been doing this for ages

>>18503928 (OP)
Imagine getting this upset about someone putting their keys on their belt
Why the fuck would I put them in my pocket like a retard?

Did anyone else lose their car and apartment and now has zero need for this?

>>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

>>18505144
you're the worst type of person

so lesbians think they created using carabiners as keychains, and that its a recent trend?

>>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.

^ Pic above is how it started.
Pic rel. what it later became in the mid 00's

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.

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

>>18504474
nice, terrorize the rentcucks as they hear you approaching

>>18505144
This only works if you are actually a douche. Stop LARPing as a chad.

>>18505586
kek

>>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

Carabiners has been a thing for decades. I don't know how it's possible to be this clueless.

>>18508608
I mean the put-on attitude, dipshit.

Only Faggots wear it on the front loop ... practical people use the loop next or right behind the hip

>>18505550
reminds me of when kids in the 50s did it with those caps that come on glass bottles. this pic isn't 1 off it was a trend for a while.

>>18508759
that worked too buddy

>>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?

STOP DOING THING!

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

I am a janitor and I don't do this shit. No one working janitorial does. It's a leftover from the fucking fixie faggot hipsters of late 2000s.
Working janitorial you keep your keys on a lanyard, in your pocket, ideally a cargo/side leg pocket, not the front one. If you need your keys you grab the lanyard. A few supervisors I've had kept their keys on a lanyard around their neck and it's fucking retarded. They chose to lean their head toward whatever they needed the key for, instead of removing the necklace, because they don't do much actual work. But nobody, absolutely nobody working, keeps them on their belt loop and certainly not on a fucking carabiner. You would want a retractable keyring, not attached to your front belt loop, or pocket, so your keys won't nutcheck you every time you open a door. Some keep them on stretchy, coiled bracelets so they're easy to grab out of your pocket or you can keep them literally on hand at all times. Never a climbing gear inspired carabiner. Fuck outta here.
>>18505550
Yeah this is when it started afaik because keeping keys inside skintight jeans makes them impossible to retrieve and they dig into your leg. Even if the keys are sitting flat it's uncomfortable and if they move suddenly there's 5 tiny pokies jabbing your leg.

>>18503928 (OP)
I have my keys on a carabiner but I keep em in my pocket

>>18503928 (OP)
This was a millenial thing because skinny jeans were purchased from the womens section at first which meant zero pocket size. It arose from necessity among the skater kids.
