Hey, nobody likes walking around with big bulging pockets. So today let’s give thanks to the Bag Ladies of the World for their giant purses and free storage.
AWESOME!

AWESOME!
I do this.

Oh, this is a great site, I’m loving it.

I’m not much of a purse kind of girl, so it’s totally awesome when I can dump my keys/wallet in someone else’s bag.

My brother does this all the time, I hope he realizes how AWESOME! I am for doing it xD

Searching for a girlfriend for this very reason.

I always end up carrying other people’s stuff in my gigantic purses.
My favorites are:
- when i hold stuff for my girl friends. They don’t even need a purse, as long as I’m around.
- my dad. Because frankly, I trust myself carrying his wallet and cell phone more than I trust him with it.
Also it’s nice to always have EVERYTHING on hand. Bottle of water? Check. Chapstick? You bet. Book, gum, pens, snacks? I got it all in my purse!

Seeing that no one is willing to rent the space, I carry as small a purse as possible. Sorry guys.

I’m the bag lady – my purse is HUGE. (How else can you carry everything you need, including a laptop?) My boyfriend is the dude with keys and a wallet and a book that subtly slips them into my purse. :)

With my boyfriend, it’s totally the opposite! He’s the one who takes my wallet and keys in his pockets when I don’t want to take my purse :P

Yeah, my ex used to do that to me, it drove me nuts. I hate having all my stuff in my pockets, let alone an added load.
May 2, 2009 at 8:07 am
Well, if he didn’t want to, he’d say no :P
May 3, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Oh, he could not want to and just be a nice guy

I call my purse a Carpet Bag! I tend to lose most things that go into it. When I bring it, I usually end up carrying my husband’s wallet and sunglasses – and water, sometimes. Other times, he’ll be awesome and carry my keys and ID if we’re going somewhere that I don’t want to bring mine.

In the 70’s there was a game show where one of the games involved the host going into the audience, and asking a lady if she had some random object in her purse. Sometimes it would be fairly normal, like a paperclip, but I remember once it was a hard boiled egg – and someone had one!

I have always been amazed at how fast they can find things in their purses.. I can search for ten minutes for chapstick in my wife’s purse at not find it. Then she, while driving and talking on the phone, can blindly reach in and pull out the chapstick!? What the hell?

Unfortunately, my wife is the complete opposite. Her purses are enormous, and she can’t find a thing in them.
I’ve literally watched her get a phone call, search through her purse for her cell phone (that was ringing loudly, mind you), and spend so long searching for it that she missed the call!
Preposterous.
But she does occasionally carry things for me, so as with everything else, she’s awesome!

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. Most are full of garbage, but this is really interesting – and useful too!
May 1, 2009 at 5:38 pm
My husband just shared your site with me, I think he’s hinting at me carrying his pocket loot in my big bag!! Love it.
May 1, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Very awesome indeed. My wife now carries a diaper bag and of is even more awesome. I do want to note that finding what you are looking for (cell phone, keys) in a womans purse is like discovering goldin your backyard. One of my favourite posts!
May 2, 2009 at 1:11 am
I love it when my wife does this for me lol!
May 2, 2009 at 11:51 pm
I do this but forget to ask for my stuff back sometimes.
May 3, 2009 at 9:21 pm
I do this alot, I carry around big bags with alot of room so sometimes I find myself carrying around alot of wallets for people! haha.

Whats awesome is pulling your blackberry out of your girlfriends purse at a boring function and reading this post!! It was amazing
May 5, 2009 at 8:47 am
I always thank my wife for carrying in her bag my photo camera and my backup hard discs… :D

Congratulations on your Webbie award!

What I really want to know is how to find that awesome orange purse! :)
May 12, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Yes please! I’m dying to know where I can snatch this up!

My hubby got me a big bag for my birthday. I’m starting to realize why. He loves being pocket bulge free when I hold his keys & wallet in my bag.

Where is the male equivalent version to this? I LOVE giving my ca$h and cards to my male friends to put in their wallets, especially in the clubs when I want to be totally free of anything to hold. (My dresses wouldn’t have pockets, silly!)

My BF loves this about me. He passes out his pocket booty to me so fast that it isn’t even funny. Sometimes he does so before we even step out the door, ensuring that it’s placed where he like it.

This can be dangerous. Some of my family members came into town this weekend and I put my keys in my cousins purse cause I didn’t want to bring one to the football game we were going to. Unfortunately I forgot they were in there until the next day when they were halfway home… (they live about 300 miles away)

Yep, that happened to me a few weeks ago: during a movie, my boyfriend slipped his wallet in my purse and when I drove home later that night, it was still there. I live about an hour away, and the next day, I had to skip work to bring it to him, in rush hour traffic, since he had no gas and no way of getting any without a wallet. I was not a happy camper.
