I do, and since I've added some weight to it recently with a vpn key fob and a thumbdrive (god I sound like a geek) it sways left and right when I walk. I think it's because I might waddle like a duck...that's embarrasing....

Yeah i have to wear one at my dealership. But luckily its just a lanyard w/ paper and plastic (and some cute stickers from the girls here ;) )

what really annoys me is when i walk outside and its windy. what usually happens is it flies up in my face and sometimes gives me a papercut. ouch

My office is somewhat high security and in order to get in the door I have to unlock it by waving mine accross a sensor. I don't mind wearing it. It makes me feel important.

Doesn't it bother you that you have to get up in the morning and you have to put on a bunch of pieces of flair? You know, the ***** had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.

I'm supposed to wear my keycard with picture in a visible area, either clipped to my pants or a lanyard.

That doesn't really work for me, so I've had my keycard in my wallet for the past 2 years. (I know, how bada$$ am I )

I went through 3 swipe cards before I got smart and got a lanyard and one of those retractable clips to go with it. I used to keep the card in my front pocket and would crack it every 4-6 months, like clockwork. My VPN token stays in the laptop bag, since I don't need it in the office. And I'm still too cheap to buy a thumbdrive, thought I see prices are coming down.

You have to have a whistle when you wing walk. If so how does the mashall hear you if the engines ar running? So a litte off topic I have to where one with two badges and some cards I havent looked at since I was in tranning. I only have one clip though If that counts for anything?

Your title was confusing. Took me a bit to realize that by 'WHERE' you actually meant "WEAR'

I wore a lanyard years and years ago at a store clerk job with a nametag, and it always got in the way when I was leaning over and walking and picking things up and whatnot, so what I did was it had an alligator-type clip on the end, I clipped it through the front of the nametag and clipped it to a tiny bit of the shirt too, kept it from moving and never had a problem.

I'm wearing the lanyard that came with my USB thumb drive and I wear it everywhere I go. Kinda sad, really. hahah

But it's 2GB though! Size matters, ladies. Act like you know.
