    [​IMG] Alright as promised here is the next poll and this one especially about the keys in your pocket since it was voted the most annoying.

    This poll is a bit larger please specify some of the questions in your post.

    Important: please when comment fill in your age (if that bothers you leave it out) and especially if your male or female.

    This poll has been constructed to see if there is a market for P.A.K.O.
    PAKO stands for Pocket Adjustable Key Organizer and if things look bright (which they do not now, but that's a good thing because we'll know if it can work yes or no) will be available on the market in the coming months.

    Thanks ahead for voting, this will help me alot.

    [​IMG] *How many? 1-4 (4, but what if I carry none?)

    *All day? Always

    *Do they annoy you? Not so much. (Where is the 'No'?)

    *Most annoying? They dont annoy me: so that would be 'the entire key' then?
    Choose up to 4... Should be 2 or 1, I guess: If 3 of the 3 parts annoy me, then that would be the entire key. If the whole key annoys me, I can choose the last option. ;)

    Found a solution? They don't annoy me anyway. Should that be yes or no?

    If yes, what? Other, please specify: Nothing

    Pay for a solution? 0-2, nothing to be exact, don't need (or allready found) a solution, since they don't annoy me.

    How many? 5 to 8

    All Day? Always

    Do they annoy you? Not at all

    Most Annoying? They don't annoy me, and I wasn't happy about having to choose a part.

    Found a Solution? I keep them all on a key ring in my pocket. They aren't annoyoing. Does that count?

    Pay for a solution? No, since the key ring was free with my car.

    Well I did the poll because I had nothing else to do but I still wonder why on earth someone would want to know how I feel about keys. The truth is I have hundreds of them that I keep in a coffee can that I will someday make into a sculpture with the collection of doornobs that I also have.

    My solution - Don't carry them in the first place, shove 'em in the bottom of my bag and forget :D

    Sorry for the kind of messy poll, but I really was in a hurry, and maybe this poll should only be for the ones who voted 'keys' in the pocket poll a few days earlier.

    This is for a school project by the way and it's important to me to get a general idea if people find keys annoying (especially many keys just on a key ring). I for one can't sit down without one of those stupid thing sticking in my thigh.

    Please keep voting, cause this is giving me valuable information so far (even if it is negative)

    My solution is simple yet effective. Put the key in your pocket, and don't think about it until you need it again. :D

    Well, I only have two keys but on my key chain there are 5 miscellaneous things...a clip, 2 key chain sized cards, a sharpened stick of 72 pin RAM, and a mini flashlight.

    Now, the keys don't usually bother me, but the cards and the stick of RAM certainly do. My only solution so far is to either clip my key chain to one of my belt loops, or leave them at home. :rolling:

    I have 8 keys in my pocket when I go out and they would be really annoying if I would put anything with them like pocket knife, fashlight, nail clipper, USB storage device or other very usefull thing to have. I carry them clipped on my belt or brake cord on my bike but right now i forgot them in my cad my mom has the car :rolleyes:

    But funny thing is that i think i dont know what for are some keys... but i still carry them :D
