You get a pass.

On the list of things that really bother me, I'd have to say people wearing lanyards is not featured. What bothers me more is people making threads about stupid stuff like other people wearing lanyards. I think less of you for that.

do you work in a highly secured building and you need to go back n forth to different secured areas? It's a PITA taking a card out of your wallet every time. So people in those types of jobs i dont blame them.

this board may have finally run out of topics.

I used to wear a customized extra long one that hung down to my crotch so eyes would have to go there. I enjoyed the peering eyes so much and imagined that when babes looked.........never mind, I digress.......

I can't even look at them while we are in a meeting and they have this thing around their neck.

Why......what is so wrong with that. Not my thing, but for some it is who gives a frick.

I oversee multiple hotels and each one has different access cards for different areas. It's easier to keep them all together on a lanyard. Work smarter not harder.

I don't have to my ID visible, but if I don't wear it, I'll lose it for a week or so
I'd keep it in my wallet, but I usually leave my wallet in my car when I go to the plant

Every single job I've had since graduation has had some sort of electronic key card. My first job, they had this coin sized thing that most people put on their key ring. Although the only reason you needed it was to come in an entrance other than the main one up front. If you entered the side or back door, you had to scan it. Also on the elevators after hours or on the weekends.

Second job was the same, it was only required to enter the building after hours or the weekend.

Third job you had to have it to come in the side entrance, and our area was locked up and secure before 8 and after 5, so you needed it then. Other than that I left it in my desk.

And at my current employer, we have photo ID key cards that allow us access to certain floors. Since we're in the corporate HQ, no one really wears them on a lanyard, but other locations around town they must be visible and you have to swipe to enter the building or your work area.
