Coffee Rocks!

They could not pay me enough to carry a used purse. All I would think about was the dirty hands and hankies or kleenex that have been in that bag. Gross.

me too....we never know what people put in their purses...yuck.....

I open this thread to find out what has been posted about "coffee", and what I find are two responses that, to me, are totally unkind and totally unnecessary.

Can't people keep their almost nasty critiques to themselves, EVER?

You can have your opinions, but if you don't have anything positive to say, why not just keep it to yourself?

A poster is happy with a purchase, and she's told what she has done is "gross", a word I just could never stand, it always rings juvenile to me.

As far as the purchase of the bag goes, I think it's really a judgment call. If a bag is in mint condition, a buyer can usually tell. But that wasn't the OP's intent, she just wanted to share a tip for getting rid of odors, something that is tossed around frequently on these boards.

I just never can understand why telling one's opinion trumps kindness and consideration.

I totally agree with blueroses. Those comments were so unnecessary. It seems some people need to be unkind in order to feel better about themselves.

Thank you, pommom, for the for the helpful tip!

The point is masking odors is not what you need to worry about when you buy a used purse. Germs are, and they aren't killed by coffee.

I guarantee you that the merchandise you handle in stores and the packages you receive from home shopping networks have been handled by a myriad of people in order to process your order. I cannot think of any items found in public places such as a grocery store, church, hospital, the plate your waitstaff places on your table, the prescription that the pharmacist turns over to you, the books you or your children touch, your mail - ad infinitum - that haven't been touched by human hands.

To those that actually got the gist of my post - thanks! I'm loving my handbag. Just in time for fall and winter.
