This didn't stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.
Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!
I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.
It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven't been lost in years.
Hah, this is basically my operating rules as well. I get unreasonably paranoid about dropping them down stormdrains too, so I clutch those babies like a Karen's pearls until they're back in pocket!
What about when you're in bed? Do you leave them in your previously worn pants and grab them in the morning, or do you put them in your clean pants the night before?
Do... do you hold them in your hands while sleeping? /s
Yep. Leave them in the pants pocket until I transfer them to a fresh pair.
Sleeping me is not to be trusted with such things. 😴
This what I have done since I was a kid
Same here.
I’m still working on this, except I have a hook by my bedroom door for when I’m done doing stuff for the day. I also put a long red lanyard on them to help me find them.
That’s always been my way as well. It’s only natural as far as I’m concerned.
I own nice stuff. All that stuff is secured with keys. And that only works if I have them and maintain positive control over them. So it stands to reason that one should be very careful about where you put and use them.
They live in three exact places: a bowl at my house, in my hand or in my right front pocket.
I’m also a firm believer of ‘a door should be locked unless you are within arms reach of it’. You’d be amazed how bad some people are at locking their doors…
Same, except I have my keys on a carabiner and they're either hanging on my bed, on my belt loop, or in my ignition.
