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

It would be a picture they would never forget. ROTFL

I balance it on my head.

I always hang my purse or hold it, never put it on the floor in a rest room. Word of caution, if you hang your purse on a hook on the stall door - if it's a double-hook (top and bottom, not side by side) always hang it on the lower hook. If it's a single hook, you should double wrap your handbag handle if you can. There have been incidents locally where handbags were snatched off the hooks by someone reaching over the top of the stall door. Obviously, you wouldn't be in a position to get up and immediately pursue the purse snatcher.

You would! LOL

In my area a lot of restaurants are now putting the hook in the middle of the door rather than near the top. It seems that way it would be much harder to steal a purse should someone try to reach over the top of the door to grab it.

I use the hook or, if not there, will place purse on top of TP holder. No matter how clean they look the floors are dirty places.

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!!!!!!

I do the same. I've been none to stuff a clutch bag down my bra.

That's exactly what I do. I wrap the shoulder strap around the hook several times, so that if someone were to try to lift it off, it wouldn't go easily.

On the rare occasion that the hook is missing or the TP holder isn't large enough for my bag to fit on top, I put a few layers of clean TP on the floor, then put my pocketbook on the clean TP. Once I get home, I always clean the bottom of my bag very carefully. I never put the bag near the toilet, and not right by the door, but halfway in between.

Y'all have some GREAT tips. Especially about reaching over the top and snatching the bag from the hook. I never thought of that.

There are some funny mental images of what to do with the purse...the feedbag one!

I always think someone will reach over the door and snatch my purse. I've placed my purse over my neck if there are no hooks.
