Nobody going to point out the ridiculous key ring? OK, maybe he needs all those keys for his job. Why the hell would you carry that around?!

This poor man desperately needs to feel important, needs to look important.

And for those of you not into gun culture, this guy is a wild outlier. There's nothing practical or sensible being rigged like that. You won't find anyone teaching or condoning this sort of thing, only as an example of what not to do.

It only takes a few "wild outliers."

Also, there should not be a "culture" devoted to an inanimate object.

"drinking" culture, "bicycle" culture, "car" culture. It's just a way to express society's attitude towards those in animate object, and how our lives are impacted as a result.

Drinking culture in the US determines that you shouldn't drive while intoxicated. Car culture makes it impossible to get out of the bar withot driving, so it means that the most common way to get your drunk friend home is to call them an Uber.

Also can indicate time frequently spent on something.

Drinking culture – parties most weekends, select entertainment connected to alcohol (music festivals, nightclubs, tourist destinations)

Car culture – behind the wheel every day

Gun culture – engage in discourse, meet friends at the shooting range, hunting
