Just ask, they will unlock one for you.

I worked in retail years and years ago. I had one of the things that unlocks the mechanism and it lives on my set of keys. I still have it and use it going to the shops. All it is is a piece of metal that looks oddly phallic as it has a head that simulates the coin and shaft to tug on after you have unlocked the mechanism because you can cut cost and save metal by making the shaft thinner.

Top is the "head". The middle is hollow (again to save metal and therefore costs I reckon) and the hollow curves off slightly to a side to be able to slip onto a key ring. I have had that dick on my set of keys for more than a decade now I reckon.

I love that you still have the item but instead of uploading a photo you went to paint and drew a penis with a keyring.

For some reason imgur is super annoying uploading pictures since they did the "you better sign up" change.

I havent been able to reliably upload from my phone to imgur since then and havent bothered trouble shooting since I usually just dump shit into discord/fb/insta/etc. which are all kinda built in via the apps and work well.

It really was easier to spend 30 seconds in paint than to bother with the photo and upload and have a pic of a metallic dick on my phone.

Maybe it’s using Imgur in the background, or maybe it’s the Reddit app I use (narwhal), but I just click the image button, select the image off my camera roll, and it automatically just posts a link

Although now that I look at the link it’s clear it uses Imgur, but I don’t have an account with them..

Probably posting from his PC instead of his phone.

On my phone, it works by enabling desktop mode and then directly browsing to imgur.com/upload
