I work in an office setting and security requires us to have our badges visible. I wear mine on a lanyard (cord/rope worn around the neck). The guys at work make fun of me and say it looks fruity.
They would prefer me to wear my badge on my belt loop like this. I guess they think it is more manly or something.
Despite the heckling, I just can't wear my badge on my belt. There are several reasons, but the principle reason is because I want anonymity while doing my business in the bathroom. All too often this is the type of scene I find when I enter the bathroom.
At first glance it might just look like a couple of people going to the bathroom, but a more careful examination of the scene reveals the identity of the individual on the toilet. I hate walking into the bathroom to find someone stinking up the room. But it's 10 times worse when I know who is doing it. Do I really want people to know that I am the culprit? No! I know some of the other guys tuck the badge into their pants so no one can see, but I don't even want to worry about that. Actually, I am not an ankle dropper, so I probably don't need to worry, but I want to be 100% sure that this would never happen. Am I really that crazy for wearing a lanyard?

I feel pretty uncomfortable about that too. I also wear a lanyard at work, and although I wear it around my neck I usually take it off before I even go INTO the bathroom so that patrons who see me headed in or coming out don't know I work there.
I'm pretty sure public restrooms should be avoided as much as possible - with or without identification. I don't really need to hear (or smell) others taking care of business that actually should be conducted behind closed doors; and, knowing who they are cuz there's a little blue card popping out below the stall - yuck. I say, wear the lanyard proudly - none of this belt loop promiscuity.
i guess because your name is double c you need to double post, are you the goose from charlottes web- "double c, double a .....". id badges are meant to be worn around the neck ie military. only cowboys wear waist id with their nifty buckles. you are right about needing privacy you are the kind of guy who runs out of the bathroom telling everyone about the stench so and so just made, so you know it can happen
