those ID cards dangling around the neck on a dangly thing.

[DameHermione]

they irritate me and make me feel stabby.

particularly if said dangly thing is covered with cartoon characters.

just clip it onto a pocket of something, stop waving it and jingling it on your cleavage and stuff.

Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am!

Actually, I don't wear a 'dangly thing', but I do have one somewhere. I am tempted now to put it on. Just for you.

It makes me feel stabby when I have to wear one

I've never seen cartoon characters on them though?

my fingers twitch with an urge to throttle the dangly wearer.

YANBU

Someone who clearly had too little to be proud of proudly informed me taht the correct term was 'lanyard'.

What makes me feel stabby is the fact that my husband insists on wearing his all the time, even at weekends so he doesn't lose it.

i cannot bring myself to write that word except in it's proper usage.

a lanyard is a nautical term. something to do with rigging iirc.

A lanyard is what it is. The clip things are really designed for men's breast pockets and are generally useless on women's clothes.

We have to wear ours at work with a lanyard dangley thing with the work logo plastered all over the bloody thing

I have to wear one for work too. I refuse to wear it around my neck. It goes on a pocket.

Ours are bright blue and have the company logo all over them.

You can't even go and get a coffee without the badge so it has to be worn all the bloody time.

i'm sure you don't have to LadyB. Have a look at your uniform/clothing policy. Challenge it.

I too keep my ID badge clipped to a pocket. There is no need for the dangly, jingly, waving around piece of string around the neck.

i hated mine dangling but if you wear anything without pockets then you'll leave it places and get locked on the wrong side of doors all the time... even more irritating than the dangling!

Some people do have to DameHermione. My husband works in a high security facility, not wearing his id could end up in being shot :o

you can wear it without it dangling. it's the dangling I object to.

I have no choice but to wear one. That way patients can glare at me and tell me i'm not a real nurse, consultants can look down upon me and tell me i'm not a real nurse and at the end of the day i can swipe myself out the door and go and get hammered go home to bed.

Although i wear mine clipped to my side. That way patients can't strangle me either.

We are meant to wear ours all the time but I only bother if I am presenting in public. Otherwise it stays in my handbag.

My lanyard is a horrible shade of bright green and clashes with everything in my wardrobe. There are blue options but these are held onto by their owners with dogged determination as they are no longer available.

Nope, they have to wear dangling ones as there is less chance of it falling off. So it dangling or death :o

I quite like when people wear them on the train on the way home so I can have a laugh at their photo and a nosey at what job they do...

Yes definitely called a lanyard. DH has a collection of them as he is always at conferences, meetings etc. There are about 50 hanging on the back of the office door. You had better not come to my house

At weekends my husband wears it, but tucks the badge into his breast pocket. That makes me quite stabby too.

Nurses/doctors/midwives/dentists/etc PATRICULARLY should not be doing the dangling display of the ID. the chances of dabbling it in placetnas and guts and infection control thingys are HUGE!

hear hear!
people wearing their danglers when nipping out for a lunchtime sarnie should be rounded up and have dangles dangled at them until they submit into putting them in Inconspicious Areas

or people dangling and working with airplanes or meat grinders. that's very dangerous.

and what the actual fuck is wearing a dangler and then tucking the ID into a pocket??????????????????

surely if the ID needs to be on dissplay it needs to be visible. so what's the point of the dangler?

If you don't wear your dangler when you go out to lunch, security might not let you back in

Also, many of them open doors electronically so keeping them on the hip/clipped to breast pocket is a pain in the arse.
