Do you know how many abuelas play bingo?!

amorbella said:

I didn't know that they considered it bad luck, but my grandmother NEVER puts her purse on the floor. Whenever I take her on her appointments, she just places her bag and whatever else she has with her on my lap

Oh and I just throw my purse on the floor. I don't give a damn.

JessieJ said:

Yup, I ve been told for as long as I can remember to NEVER put my purse on the floor.....

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I've never done that. And it doesn't have to go on the floor, it goes on your lap!

I always put my purse on my lap. I think it's rude to have a chair for a purse! Now don't get me wrong..I LOVE my purses...but that's just crazy!!!!!

Me too, my mom used to tell me that. I can't say my purse NEVER hits the floor, but the shit crosses my mind the few times I let it happen

I always put my purse in the chair next to me IF THE ROOM IS EMPTY (or near empty). When seats become scarce I move it automatically, knowing someone will want the seat. It's just rude to keep your shit there...

OK, I don't think it's wrong to have the purse on the seat, just when you have it there when my ass needs somewhere to sit!

My purse rarely is on the floor thanks to my mom telling me about it being bad luck, but I wont be rude either and not let someone sit on a chair that I have my purse on, I just put it on my lap

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I take it they are the ones winning at bingo???

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

yes, there's no excuse for it. I've never seen someone refuse to move them, but I have seen plenty of people try to preserve personal space with bags.

Men are asked to put the seat down, I think women should relinquish their purses seats. It's only fair.

I never had a purse I have the old small napsack. A lady did that to me once...she didn't want to move her bag.

It's one thing if the place is empty, but if it's full, then move your shit! You don't have to put it on the floor, I rarely put my bag on the floor. I usually hang it off of one of my knees. I always do this at restaurants--I never ever put my bag on the back of my chair--that's how my wallet got stolen.

The NY MTA recently had a campaign about not hogging subway and bus seats with your bags, purses, backpacks, etc. If I am tired and really want a seat, I don't care, I will give people the evil eye and say, "Excuse me is that seat taken?" to get them to move their shit.


One thing that bugs me is at work when we have lectures that are sold out, the senior management will often sit in this particular row of seats closest to the entrance forcing latecomers to stand. I think as employees, we should always be the first to offer our seats to the customer/public.

i think whether you're a woman or a man, if you carry some form of bag you need to be mindful of it and remember that the damn thing takes up space.

i can't tell you how many times i get someone's bag or purse in my face when i'm on the bus to work and it's crowded. all this person has to do is watch how they're holding their bag. not only is it considerate, but you know what? if i weren't such an honest person, it would be damn easy for me to dip my fingers right in those bags and lift whatever i wanted to. so never mind being polite - keep your money away from other people's noses, duh!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

.. cause no one said anything to her about it.. so she kept 2 seats.. we live in a world today where people are .. 'Me, My, and I'.. they dont care about others well being...this woman didnt care about others not having a seat.. when i didnt have my car, and i rode the bus, they pulled that on the bus too... folks are selfish

dawntreader said:

no, THIS is imago!

Oh, come on. As if ladies are the only ones who carry purses.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Just because she confuses a purse with a person, doesn't mean you have the right to bitch at her like that!

I love Snoop.

that IS the rudest shit.
I see it a lot in bars and lounges - move your shit people!
I was in a restaurant in NYC last week. The bartender had to come from behind the bar to request that people's belongings be taken off the chairs.

Also; in public transport, if you have a bag over your shoulder, mind where you bump the bleeding thing into. My head's been unwilling target for sloppy bag-owners so often, I, like Supa, have no more patience for people just dragging it through crowded places.

So;

Place the bag against your tummy; navigate your way through crowded places without hurting other people.

it may be irritating, but its kind of nasty to have to put you shit on the floor.
