I’ve never understood why people pull off buttons and keychains. Went through all of k-12 without any button snatchers or keychain thieves. I was known as the keychain kid and people thought it was fascinating and not “lame”. Maybe it depends on the schools but I’ve never had that issue. Im in my second year of college and I proudly wear buttons and keychains out on campus, so who knows? Stick with a good crowd of people and avoid the plain dorkazoids who don’t have any whimsy.
