I was just reading some of the sale threads about some nutty behavior over purses and thought I would start this thread. Hopefully there isn't a similar one already - I looked and didn't see one.
Have you had any humorous, crazy, or bizarre experiences while purse shopping that would be fun to share?
I've had quite a few. Once, at a sample sale, a girl tried to grab a handbag right off my arm. It was the handbag I had walked in with! She thought it was one of the ones from the sale table but still, is there really ever any excuse for grabbing a handbag off of someone's arm? I think not.
Another time, at Nordstrom Rack, I found a gorgeous MJ multipocket on sale. At my NR, they don't let you carry the high-end bags around the store while you shop. So the SA took the bag off the cable and hung it on the hold rack behind the cash register. I went upstairs to look at shoes. As I was coming down the stairs, I saw a girl grab my purse off the hold rack (RIGHT behind the cashier, who didn't even notice) and literally RUN up to the cash register line. I had to run down the stairs, go up to her, and say, "Excuse me, that bag was being held for me." (Which she clearly knew, because the note with my name was still on it!)
She quickly gave me the bag and slunk away. But then, as I was waiting in line to pay, she came up to me AGAIN with another Marc Jacobs bag and said "You want to trade for this one?"
I said, "NO! I'm buying this!"
She then proceeded to follow me into the parking lot and waited till I drove away. It wasn't menacing or anything, because she was kind of a small, crazy girl who was clearly just obsessed with the handbag, but it was truly nuts.
Have you all ever had any nutty, funny, or weird purse shopping experience with people even more obsessed with handbags (or just plain more crazy) than we are?

It was a memorable, crazy night near the end of a Canadian era in shopping.
