At my parents’ house yesterday, the subject of house keys came up, and my Dad pulled his key ring out of his pocket to show me something. I was floored. Because he had no intention of leaving the house that day, and yet he still walked around with his house and car keys in his pocket. Do….do men do this? Do they put that heavy hunk of metal in their pockets deliberately, every single day, even long after retirement?

I guess I’m asking if this is just a my dad thing, or is it an all dad thing?

@AlexKourvo
No. That would be annoying. Am dad, do not do this.

@AlexKourvo To the original question, I don’t know if all men do it or not, but I certainly don’t 🙂 When I’m at home I generally wear a sarong and so don’t even have pockets. Plus, why bother with all that. But what I can tell you is that my house key (which is the only key I have) is in my “outside” pants pocket all the time because I don’t want to forget it when I go out 😛 Maybe that (or a similar reason) is why your Dad does it too?

@dipti My grandmother did it too 🙂 I always thought it was a power move because there were multiple families living in that house and nobody could take stuff out of the larder/pantry unless she opened it. But of course, each of those families had their own stores too … But she controlled the “big” store 😀
