Do people who wear a lanyard look important?

[bitslice]

I had a backstage pass on a lanyard and went around pretending to be a roadie

I'm just an office monkey, so don't bother showing my ID. A while back, I figured out that it uses NFC as it triggered off my Sammy S4's NFC sensor by making that bleeping noise when close by. So I just leave my ID in my wallet and swipe everything with the wallet

Ward staff will obviously need their ID out because of direct contact with patients.

in work fair enough. walking around out of work not so good, in a bar after work douche baggery of the highest order.

Am I the only one that has never heard the word lanyard before???

I can guess what OP is talking about though..

 

[mattyfez]

We are supposed to wear them at all times at work, not many do though as they are annoying and look faget.

VIP coming through!

For extra points, wear it all the way down to your crotch, and unlock doors without using your hands.

I don't need to wear it but do so as it's easier than having it anywhere else and I'll forget it to often if I don't. Just easier to stick it on when in the building. Although it's usually tucked under a jacket or cardigan so not that visible.

Plus I can walk up to the reader with hands full and brush against it.

We have to wear ours for security reasons, but the lanyards have a spring loaded bit of string which makes it very handy when walking through barriers. What does surprise me is that we have the company name on the lanyards and cards - that has always struck me as a bit dumb when companies do that, if you lose the card and it gets into the wrong hands then anyone can get in. Although more secure areas require a code with the card.

I have to wear a lanyard because my pass should be visible while at work (security reasons). Given the choice I would not use it because its a pain having something dangling around your neck. I take it off when I leave the building though.

Depends on the job. If you're running around the building all day then a lanyard is much easier. Also, most of them are probably free lanyards with advertising hence the bright colours.

I have a lanyard for work, I often put my Nando's card in it.

I asked for my security pass to be twice the normal size (so I can look doubly important) which has the added benefit of being large enough to accommodate the number of figures in my salary which I have written on it in permanent red marker. It only just leaves room for me to put my girth measurements on too.

I look so important the women don't stand a chance :aspies smug:

I wear a lanyard but stealth style under my tabard.

 

[Liampope]

All have to wear ours all the time so I find it rather funny that some might associate it with importance. My wife is always telling me to take it off when we are out shopping, for dinner, etc. Strange

I am required to wear mine on a lanyard round my neck as per company policy. I must also remove it as soon as I leave the premises for security purposes. Different colours for different roles blue for permanent staff, red for contractors and yellow for visitors.

Don't see the issue with it personally and it makes it easier to swipe in and out of security doors.

Obviously lots of security in my job, and I have 3 ID's on my lanyard. I certainly wouldn't choose to wear it but rules are rules.

 

[Caged]

I hope you're being supplied with breakaway lanyards

 

[DoneADougalOnSofa]

SIX figures in change? :/ I've done that once with one dollar bills. But COINS?

If it were in pound coins, £10k would weigh 95.5kg...

 

[MrMarvelous]

I associate lanyards with the 90's.
