There is always the possibility that she was mistaken, and plain rude about it, but I agree, I think she might have been testing the waters to see if she could take something from your purse, or any of the others that were sitting there, trying to see if anyone was paying attention.

 

Just because people are members of your church or your social group or organization doesn't mean they can be trusted. Sad to say, but it is true.

I have to have my drivers license, my phone, my epi pen and my inhaler with me at all times - that would not all fit in that LG bag. besides the things that are in my purse are there because they are things I want to take with me when I am out and about in case I need them. Why would I go out and leave things like my wallet at home ?

Glad nothing was missing( but your Kleenex). Sometimes situations like these are eye opening and hopefully you will adjust your habits to some new safer ones. It's a shame we have to be so untrusting with everything nowadays.

I would take a bag that I can zip closed at least.

Well, it's not your fault she went into your bag. But having it out in the open is your doing.

It's not your fault, but leaving an OPEN handbag on a public counter is like waving a red flag.

 

And I don't think she was rude, I suspect she has mental problems. 

 

Every church I know of has a few eccentric people wandering around.

Well, I understand her confusion.   You let a complete stranger go into your purse not once but twice before you said a word....,I cannot begin to understand why anyone would do that?  So suddently after the girl went into "her" purse twice, you claim it's yours.  You, who didn't say anything before that.   No one would be able wrap their head around that one.  So, even though you proved it was indeed your bag, she still had some doubts because the situation was just so weird.  Most of us don't even let strangers touch our bags much less actually go into them....twice.   To be honest, by not stopping her..twice, she actually your approval to go ino the bag.  I don't thonk she did owe you an apology.
