    Lanyards and door passes and stoopid people

    Just why do people insist on hanging their door passes around their necks and then rather than take them off to swipe in/out they do some stoopid contortion to open the door without removing their pass.


    Crazy

    It's much preferable to the people who get to the barriers and are surprised to have to present their pass - if only they'd known! It's at the bottom of their handbag now. Somewhere. Probably. I think. Oh, sorry am I in your way?....

      Same chunts who had their mobile phones in little cases on their belts. Or had "bum bags". I expect.

        In London there is an all but infinite supply of people promoting oyster card holders with company ads and logos on them.

        I just keep my oyster and my office id in one of these.

        Only problem I have at the moment is that the office id card conflicts with the oyster scanners at the tube stations, unlike the one at previous clientco.
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

          If I have both hands full (e.g. laptop and tea) I can operate the switch by waving my chest at the sensor, then push the door open with my bum.

          Of course it was much easier when HyperD was at clientCo, 'coz he always did the doors for me.

            MS, this is how women have been getting doors opened for them since time immemorial.

              I don't think we can understand the enormity of the task facing you, without photographic evidence of said chest bouncing at the sensor
              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  Yes I was waiting for that but remeber they are security passes not employment passes - so even high falutin contractors get one.

                  What sparked it though was some guy try to swipe in to the building and we have those tube station style barriers to go through and he was bent so far over he looked like he was licking the thing...

                  salvage the damn pride man.

                    This isn't merely casual sexism, it's digital sexism - although with the size of the guts on many at clientco I would have thought that the swaying of bellies would achieve the same result...
