Hah, this is basically my operating rules as well. I get unreasonably paranoid about dropping them down stormdrains too, so I clutch those babies like a Karen's pearls until they're back in pocket!

What about when you're in bed? Do you leave them in your previously worn pants and grab them in the morning, or do you put them in your clean pants the night before?

Do... do you hold them in your hands while sleeping? /s

This what I have done since I was a kid

Same here.

I’m still working on this, except I have a hook by my bedroom door for when I’m done doing stuff for the day. I also put a long red lanyard on them to help me find them.

That’s always been my way as well. It’s only natural as far as I’m concerned.

I own nice stuff. All that stuff is secured with keys. And that only works if I have them and maintain positive control over them. So it stands to reason that one should be very careful about where you put and use them.

They live in three exact places: a bowl at my house, in my hand or in my right front pocket.

I’m also a firm believer of ‘a door should be locked unless you are within arms reach of it’. You’d be amazed how bad some people are at locking their doors…

Same, except I have my keys on a carabiner and they're either hanging on my bed, on my belt loop, or in my ignition.
