Purses have black holes

[Jack T. Chance]

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.

She has somehow managed to come into possession of a BAG OF HOLDING and she should treasure it for the rest of her days! Tell her the secret is to think of the item she wants whilst reaching into the Bag to grab it. She will then find that the item magically appears in her hand!

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.

... Serta sheep...

90. Inflatable sheep do *not* need to be displayed during a room inspection.

I put my keys in my pocket instead of my purse. I also carry a spare set in my purse.

My keys stay on a D-ring on my belt loop. Can't lose them that way.

But then the two largest purses I own are large satchel style (one is a Dooney & Bourke, the other is a vintage LV Speedy) and not only would I lose my keys for a week in either of them, I could probably carry one of the kitties in it.

My belt-loops tend to fail after a while. Might be my tendency to pull my pants on, or hitch them up, using that.

Add me to the list that clips my keys to my purse via caribiner. The addition of a car with push button start has also made things easier, as someone else here mentioned of theirs. Purses are definitely black holes, though. You never know what you might find in one, either!

I'll be honest. I got a job offer across the state so today I've been packing, and I've just been throwing purses in boxes. I'm not going to find out what's inside of them. I'll sort it out later on the other side.

At least she had the decency to admit she'd lost her keys and not blame you for it. Unlike some people...

Congrats!!!!

I have more than a few purses, but I rarely use them.

What I should do is get out the lint roller and bust out my MetallicA bag.

Oh, and I have a tendency to use insulated lunch bags/coolers as purses, too.

[ladyjaneinmd]

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!

I lost my change purse for An Entire Week once. It was in my purse, really. And I looked through the purse FOUR TIMES, even dumped it out once. No change purse.
Then it just showed up one day, totally nonchalant at the worry it caused me.

Add me to the list of people whose purse is a black hole - could have sworn I put my debit card in it after shopping at Target yesterday, but when I got home, the card was nowhere to be found. (No idea where or how I could've lost it)

keyrings are vandals

I got a folding key-holder specifically because when I had a key-ring, they kept cutting holes in my pockets. So I'd be dribbling change down my pants as I walked down the street....

At least you'd just be dribbling change down your pants. The alternative could mean you've got a leak...but I guess that all depends...

Just have to widdle away at the options...
