Wait aren't those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

More than one actually. I keep one stabbed into my computer desk most of the time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Paperclips are just fine, they're just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

I have some smart devices that came with these so I appear very responsible.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same. And in the past decade plus of using smartphones, I've never had to open the slot except to install the SIM card for the first time. Why do I even keep it around?

Inside my phone case. Only makes sense to keep it with the phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yep I have 2 on a small o-ring with a usb memory stick I use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

false ; I bought a 50 pack

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Planning ahead? Sounds pretty responsible to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Oh really? I didnt know that, yes I still do and it's only one I have

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.

It's come in handy more than I thought it would.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I did that until it left a hole in my thigh. Now I have one in my desk drawer and center console.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

I keep my keys on a dog leach clip on my belt loop, but I am sorry to hear that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I probably have like 3 or 4

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yes, I keep them in the box.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

or a hoarder

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I can confirm that this is false

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I have mine under my phone cover. Got sick of losing them all the time when I needed one. Since I put it under the cover, I've only needed it about two times. (Under my cover for over a year).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

One can never be too prepared. "Prepared for what?" is the question.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

You sound fun.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they're also a good shiv or shank.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.

So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What do you mean you don't take out the sd card every so often so you can quickly transfer 48GB of cat videos to your computer?
