We are a safety risk to no one, not even ourselves. (I stopped jumping to dislodge basketballs long ago.)

My BIL has one of those with his anniversary date tattooed on it too. The anniversary of his marriage to his ex-wife.

I do not wear mine simply because it is just loose enough that I am scared it might fly off my finger at some point. Sure it's not likely, but I was concerned.

I wear mine. I've never even heard it come up in a conversation here.

My only question is who told you this? Unless it was an assigner you want to work for, I'd ignore it.

I used to take mine off when I was still married because when I saw others with a ring on it distracted my eye.

What others decide to do I have no concern.
