Empathy Gone Wild

So they changed the locks at my apartment building. But I still have my old key. Left with no purpose in life, a key without a keyhole, the same key it always was, but forever doomed to irrelevance; I sympathize and find it hard to just throw it away. But of course, as my girlfriend helpfully pointed out when I raised this dilemma, 'It's just a lump of metal'.

  • Leave it on someone's desk at work. They probably won't throw it out until they figure out what it is for. Let them deal with it.

  • "leave it on someone's desk" No, I can't pass off this decision onto someone else - that wouldn't be right.

  • Take the key and add it to a keychain. Whenever you get more useless keys, keep adding them.

    When you have a child 4-6 in the house, give them the keys to play with as part of dramatic play. They will get a kick out of having real keys to pretend with and you do not have to worry about losing them.

  • That's a good plan Bill, but maybe a little more, um, long term, than I was thinking...
