Public restrooms and purses

Deb1010again · ‎05-28-2013

If I go into a public restroom I can't put my purse on the floor in the stall. I have to hang it up on something or hang on to it. Mostly it's because I perceive the floor to be dirty and it's easy to steal. Are you the same way or don't you care?

Same way! I picture someones hand coming underneath and taking off with it and me trying to get my drawers up.

If there is no hook, I hold it/put it on tp rack.

I try not to put my handbag on any floor, & most certainly wouldn't put it on a restroom floor. Be careful about hanging your bag on the door hook. There have been cited cases of women reaching over & grabbing the bag & running away. I've noticed in some public restrooms they've attached the door hook much lower, so it would be too hard for someone to just reach inside & grab the bag.

I read something that said if your purse has a strap put the purse strap around your neck.

I have never done that though I probably would end up strangled lol

I usually use the hook but it is risky.

If there are no hooks, I will hang it around my neck like a feedbag. There's no way I'll EVER put anything on the floor of a public bathroom. NEVAH!!!!!!

On the floor--never. I use a shoulder bag. If there is a hook I wrap the strap around the hook so it can't just be lifted and removed.

If there's no hook I try to hold bag on my shoulder or if the straps are long enough do that cross body thing. Oh yeah, Preds, better not be a camera in that hand sneaking up under the stall, LOL

Oh I will have to remember that one. I am so careful I try not to put my handbags on my own floors at home. Feet are feet and we travel everywhere all day long everyday then go home!!
