Purses have black holes

[bhskittykatt]

So a guest the other day lost her car keys. Security searched all over for it. They tore apart the room. They called a locksmith to get into the car to make sure they didn't lock the car keys in there. No keys were to be found,. The guest was distraught. They couldn't go home, so I got them a good deal on a room for an extra night.

An hour after they had resigned themselves to staying an extra day, the guest came down waving her car keys at me.

They were in her purse the entire time.

They'd gotten caught in the bottom corner of her purse. She swore she'd gone through it thrice.

I submit this as evidence that all purses indeed have black holes in the bottom that suck items to other dimensions.

Yeah, I've done that too. Usually I put them in a part of the purse where they don't belong, but sometimes they just vanish and then reappear after I've lost my mind!

For years, I've been convinced that a purse is nothing more then a 'bag of holding'.

[Kittish]

Hell, I carry a small purse with not much in it, and I still lose the damn keys every time! I think Portable Hole is probably a bit more accurate a description than Bag of Holding. Though I'd kill for a Heward's Handy Haversack. No more digging!!

Yep woman's purses are extra-dimensional spaces.

I once lost a bottle of difficult-to-replace medication because there was a tear in my purse between the lining and the outer shell. The medication bottle ended up between the two so even if I turn the purse upside down and dumped it out the bottle was still stuck inside and invisible.

I keep my keys attached to my purse handle by a carabiner so I can find them. Because my phone would fall out of the pocket on the outside of my purse, and if I put it into my purse I could never find it I made a pouch with a tab out of some scrap fabric and scrap Velcro. I threaded a key ring through the tab, and hung another carabiner on it, and attached that to a key ring I'd sewed inside my purse. My phone is prehistoric and can be closed to avoid wallet-dialing. I also sewed up a bunch of zipper pouches and use them to keep my purse stuff organized. Works very well.

Because of that black hole in my purse, I was forever grateful when I finally bought a car that was push button start. My key only needs to be in the car somewhere in order to start. My purse is always with me so problem solved. Now, if only I can find the key when the fob battery starts to fade....

When I first saw this thread I was on my phone which I don't have adblocker on and the ad was for Michael Kors handbags. Well played.

The only reason I don't lose my keys anymore is because I have them attached via S-carabiner to the side of my purse. If I don't hear them jingle then I know I don't have them and I'll stop to look for them.

Here is my purse. I had a pic posted here but it was HUGE!

There's an ad for Interac Flash, a debit card that allows you to tap to pay, which features this kind of purse. It's so deep that the woman, who was searching for cash to pay for her food, literally disappeared into it!

My keys are attached to a 4-inch long Serta sheep. I never lose them.

[dalesys]

... I never lose them.

Famous lost words?

Which is why I have an extra house key in my wallet. But the sheep has helped. Plus it reminds me of the friend who gave it to me.
