I recall posting my car keys before, but here are the other keys that I always carry with me:

Keys in other countries are strange.

edit: Apparently I had posted my car keys before with the same filename...

Says the guy with keys that look like they come from a Jaguar.

That's not entirely unlike the key in my parents' Focus. Wasn't Jaguar owned by Ford some time ago?

I think I'm going to buy half a dozen Abloy padlocks and make them use the same blue-collared key as the cabin door. Also, I might make couple of copies so that each set of car keys will have, in addition to the key to my parents' place, a key to the cabin as well. Makes life easier if you happen to forget the keys...

How do those right-angled keys work?? Don't they get stuck at the first tumbler and not go all the way into the cylinder?

They are for disc tumbler locks:

Clockwise from bottom: car, storage locker, mailbox, apartment, apartment building, P.O. box, name and tel.

I think I posted in here before as well, but I recently did a "what do you carry with you every day?" thread in another forum, and my new keys appeared in that picture. So:

Updated keyring now contains:

1. BMW thing
2. MicroSD card reader & card; basically a 16GB thumb drive
3. Compact USB iPhone charger
4. Work keys

Is that a flip phone the size of an iPhone?

Thanks for the info. Those are interesting locks. Never seen them before. Looks more pick-resistant.

I think it's just an optical illusion; that flip phone is in a holster case with belt clip beneath it, so it's perched closer to the camera, plus the white iPhone case obscures its actual dimensions. The flip and holster realistically has about 80% of the iPhone's footprint, though it is a good 4 times as thick.

They can't really be picked by hand.
