I Hate USB Drives Around The Neck

September 12th, 2007 by Mitch Martin · 5 Comments · 2 Views

So I have already ranted and raved about cell phones on belts. So let’s move on to another phenomena that drives me crazy. The old USB flash drive hanging around someone’s neck like a diamond pendant. Just because they put a $0.02 lanyard in the package doesn’t mean you should hang the thing around your neck. Honestly why do you need your Word files and Excel spreadsheets hanging around your neck? Now if the thing is carrying some kind of vital data like your complete medical history and blood type then I could see wearing it around your neck like a big ass medicaid bracelet. But the thing is tiny. That is why they are called thumb drives. So put it in your pocket with one of your thumbs. The real bitch of this whole thing is that the same douches that have their cell phones on their belts have their thumb drives hanging around their necks.

Some people just need fast, chest level access to their favorite porn.

You got me there. I hadn’t considered the porn accessibility angle.

Phone on belt - guilty. But I have to agree with you 100% on the lanyards. Everyone had a thumb drive at my last job and some wore it like it was a status symbol. Maybe I should have asked just what they had saved on them after reading the first comment.
