Our work bathrooms require a key to get in.

Not that I have anything important on my car keys other than my car keys and apartment key, but it helps that I can't exactly leave without my keys.

Somehow in the 7 months I've been working, I haven't yet forgotten my phone, wallet, or ID card, though...

I forget my ID card about twice a year. It really sucks because you need to swipe it to get through just about every door in the building. I drive in to work, park, then I have to walk like 10 minutes to get to my building. I get to the door, reach in to pull out my badge...FUUUUUUU

Usually I just say fuck it, go home, and take a sick day when that happens.

I'm just sayin' - never give out more information than you have to. Always keep 'em guessing!

Why don't you just keep your bathroom key with the rest of your keys. You do carry your car/house keys around w/ you don't you?

Could you just keep it with your ID badge?

What's wrong w/ asking your coworker to borrow his? Why do you have to let him know you are doing #2?

It is with the rest of my keys.
I don't need car keys to get to work (ride the bus).
Don't need house key to leave as my wife/kids are still home.

I leave ID badge at work every night (don't need to get in etc, just need to wear around the office).

I don't need to do a #2... though a #1 would be nice I think.

Yeah, we do, but it is a royal pain in the ass, because the temp badge doesn't have an RFID tag in it, so you can't actually get through any doors with it without calling someone and having them open the door for you.

And just about every single door in our building has a reader. To get from my office to anywhere I need to go (bathroom, SCIF, lab, etc...) I need to call and have someone open the door for me. It's less hassle to just go home and get my real badge, but I'm usually so pissed by the time I get home I just say fuck it and take the day off.

Yeah, same for us. Our visitor badges our just stupid stickers and then you can't actually get out of the elevator area onto any of the floors. Useless. Although obviously that's the point for actual visitors since they'd be escorted.

Not quite as bad here though, I don't need it to go to the bathroom or anything crazy like that. Only once in the morning and coming back from lunch probably. It's a pain but I would never take a sick day for it, haha.

It actually is relevant to my work too, since someone has to watch over customers when your out of service even for a few minutes.
