Yes. I was sat in the Waitrose car park, a person pulled up next to me and parked in the adjacent space. When opening the door of their car it actually banged right against mine. I looked over at them, they didn't notice and just buggered off into the shop. So when I got out I just gave a little but noticeable mark down the drivers door.

You don't - I have an RSA key as well and he doesn't work at the same place as me
As do I.
Give me a VAG switchblade key over keyless entry any day. Progress for it's own sake isn't progress.

I personally don't like the VAG keys - the key often comes out in your pocket which is a real pain
I really like the keycard which came with my Renault personally but it's all down to personal preference in the end!

I've never had that problem and I've had a couple of VAG cars with them now.
Mum managed to break the keyring tab off an the first type after 9 years of abuse in her tardis of a handbag but that's it. Later ones have a beefed up housewife proof design!

A8 thread is gone I think.
I think it's one of those things like auto wipers. Sounds a bit silly in theory but once you live with them, you appreciate it. So as daft as it sounds, I'd not fancy going back to a normal key and can't see any benefits of them but appreciate the positive aspects of keyless.
Cool - this is the sort of extremely sad thing I love.
My mini ford badge came off too, anyone know where I can get a new one?
That lot all goes in my pocket quite happily... car keys, flat keys, work keys, server cab key, usb drive, rsa token.....

don't 'jangly' keys annoy you? not only in your pocket, but when you drive?

No changes to my keys...yet 
well a 4GB USB stick which has proven to be immensely useful!

Nope, not really - in my pocket they dont move about really and arent unconfortable. When I carry a smaller set of keys around I'm always checking that they're still in my pocket. This also means I'm not going to get very far without my keys - I cant leave the house without my car keys or drive to work without my work keys etc 
They dont make a noise in the car, they only annoy me a bit when I'm wearing shorts - which only happens on the way to the gym around the corner anyway

I know this is o/t but what is this RSA key on some of your keyrings ?
Man of Honour
It lets you in to work systems, when I used to work at the NHS we set up users on RSA token keys so they could log in to the systems.
It's amazing how many times we had to reset token keys because they stalled or people were fools and could not read ¬_¬

2 factor authentication - generates a number every 60 seconds and the authentication server takes a seed file for the tokens so they both know what the number should be.
Generally used for remote logins (hence the fact people keep them on their keys) - I use them for our Citrix web interface to log in, but can be used for any application really.
It means to log in, I need my username, password and the current code - so nobody can log in as me, even if they had my password, unless they also had my keys

I've not had any problems with ours - we actually use Deepnet which is waaaay cheaper than RSA. It supports the RSA tokens though, so I used the 2 we had on eval
I had a call from a board member that went almost exactly the same as this gem from The Daily WTF the other day, I didn't stop laughing for a while:

Its also amazing how many people think they work by mobile/satellite/witchcraft/all of the above

here's my burden. What a pain in the arse this thing is
Man of Honour
I do like the vag keys... sit nicely in the pocket. Other stuff includes Wenger key holder so i can split off keys; iphone sim release thing thats really useful for poking & reseting things; 4GB usb key held together with tape; "True" keytool thats only really good as a file & bottle opener; LED torch & club cards. My RSA key sits with my laptop power supply.

Wish the keypart would fold away but I guess the new ones will just be the standard VW keys.
Almost identical, 'cept I have keys to my house on the ring.
Complete PiTA Porsche keys. I keep opening my boot by mistake. The range is annoyingly impressive.
