do people at your work wear lanyards?

i remember some girl from northern england or somewhere once accused me of being irremediably bourgeois because i didn't know what a tabard was, but i didnt know what a lanyard (in this form) was either so

because i didn't know what a tabard was

?!?

how is that bourgeois, did she live in 1550 or something

"thou does not know how to wear a doublet and hose, foul cad!"

the fancy people made some crazy double/triple helix tony hawk trickery in theirs and would have this weight to it like that weird weapon that nasa guy used to knock people out in that homer goes to space episode

Yes - those! Lanyards!

i totally called it "gimp".

most people in my work wear a lanyard, i refuse to wear it, i just swing it around in my hand as i walk. it gets you access to the building and then through the doors that you're allowed through once youre in there. but the front doors stay open for so long once they swing open and holding the doors inside the building for anyone who is behind you is so common that really as far as security measures go it's beyond useless. im a civil servant, we work with sensitive material but not like national security sensitive or anything.
