simple solution: car and house key togrther, everything else put in glove box until needed

I've heard/seen in car manuals not to have too much weight on your key chain, and a few people have said something like that too. I have a total of 3 keys, one is my car, one for the screen door of my house and one for the garage side door and a very light penguin key chain.

My mum and sister are good examples of a decent weighted bunch of keys, over time they've lessened the crap after me bugging them all the time. I don't understand what the issue is but seriously, I don't think you need more than 6 keys (and that's pushing it) and 8 key chains.

i dontknow how people can even walk around with a whole bunch of keys in there pockets

I was always warned against it as in the event of an accident, that's a lot of steel dangling around your knee/hip area to hurt you. (that being said i did have a large padlock on my keys at the time, so i wouldn't lose it)

I've been told it damages the barrel but for roughly 6 years I would have carried a few hundred grams of keys at least on the one chain and it never caused any of my cars issues.

What the sh!t do you guys have on your keys? lol

All I have is my car key, house key, club lock key, alarm remote and a snazzy Initial D keyring.

I have one key and my alarm button thingy on my chain and that is it. all other keys go into the centre console until needed. I hate having alot of keys near my knee when im driving.
