Maybe it's different being in college, but I carry my lanyard out with me everywhere. It's the one thing I absolutely cannot leave my apartment without. I feel oddly insecure without having my keys with me. o_o

I don't like them. For keys they just get in the way, and I'd much rather clip my badge onto the bottom of my shirt then have it hanging around my neck all weekend.

I find it more convenient around the neck, except for in the case of the massive surfboard-esqe ones they gave to us for comp badges. Though those things aren't convenient ANYWHERE.

I have pockets.

I also have belt loops and a carabiner.

I only use them at conventions. And only at cons where I'm not widely known (which are few and far between.) Like ACEN, where staffers in my same department don't even know me. Or when I feel like displaying all the adult themed badges I got from Bob Dejesus. A good number of cons I goto however I don't even bother carrying my badge around with me since I don't need it to get in anywhere usually.

Generally though, they just take up space and collect dust.

Like 'em, never wear them around the neck though, I just use it for my keys in my pockets and easy retrieval.

Plus I can swing it around :3

I only use 'em at cons, mostly because it's easier to keep track of it. I need to wash my Dragoncon Staff Lanyard, as it smells something fierce. I'm definitely going to have to not be staff there this year, though. I like actually enjoying my con too much.

white college boys wear them out of their khaki cargo shorts pockets with birkenstocks on their way to abercrombie.

No.

I'm fine with clips.

And yeah, big huge fukkin comp badges are annoying. I'm so small, they're like a fourth of my torso... @_@
