ULPT Request: what to do with a bag of keys
Posted by AIienlnvasion@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 27 comments
Cleaning out a relatives old house, ended up with a zip lock bag half full of assorted keys (maybe 100+ individual keys), mostly modern with a couple older looking ones. Not sure what to do with them; art came to mind but I’m not an artist, and I figured one of you assholes could think of something funny.
TLDR: anything fun to do with a bag of old useless keys?

Nothing unethical about it, but my toddler would go nuts for a bag of keys. The fake ones will not do.

I knew someone would be into it!

I just found a 2 pound assortment of random keys selling on ebay for $6.00.

Write riddles on little pieces of paper that suggest the keys unlock something valuable. Leave them in spots where you can people watch. Start a thread in the subreddit for your community. Sit back and watch people run their gears for nothing.

Most regular keys are made of brass. Take them to a scrap yard. Not very unethical, though.
I just scrapped a kitchen faucet for $1/lb (called refinery brass) and tin plated brass electrical lugs for $3/lb (yellow brass).
Buy piss disk molds, high powered lasers, valve stem core removers and bird seed to make it ULPT.

Your mission if you choose to accept it is anytime you see an unattended key chain is stealthily ship one or two keys on it.

Also, if you're visiting someon'e's house or office, leave a couple of keys on a blank tag behind.

100+ grams of cocaine, each gram individually packaged in their own little baggie.

Not unethical, but lots of artists work with keys if you want to post them somewhere.

Brass keys can be sold for scrap

There must be some that are interesting, mat and frame them.

Throw them in a Frisbee. Piss in it .Freeze it. Now you have a piss disc full of keys.

leave one in your wallet "front door" so if wallet is lost or stolen they might have a surprise (in case your info is also in there).

If there is someone you don’t like, buy a bunch of cheap keytags, put their name and number on them, write “reward if found” on them, and leave them all over town.

That's an awesome idea! I might just go see if Goodwill has keys for sale just so I can do that!

I think I’d need to find an artist for that

All my life I've had a sewing box (Royal Dansk cookie tin) full of keys and if any of my friends got locked out of their houses I would bring them over and one of the keys would fit the door for some reason almost every single time. Later on I got a drill and some step bits which honestly are a lot quicker. But if they don't want to damage the door lock I still have that tin just in case.
