bag had food in it!

[mothbeast]

I bought a used nylon bag on ebay. It mentioned ink stains and i figured it would have wear. So I get it today and yep ink stains - most of which came out with a hot water wash. There's a bit of wear to the corners which i expected due the the used nature of the bag. Fine but when turning out the lining of the small pockets to wash it I find crumbs and what looks like whole sesame sticks, a equal packet and a property of "xxx" sticker.

eeek. I'm surprised that people don't just turn over and shake out the bags to make sure they haven't left things. Have people ever received good bonuses in used bags?

Yes, a tampon in an internal pocket!

It was unused and still in its packet, fortunately!

Trying to think if there's been anything else (other than fluff, the odd stain and face powder etc.)?

I found a credit card in a legacy wallet...the kicker was I bought "NEW" from Coach ... LOL ...Obviously a "used" return that was not checked out before restocking!

I found pills once. No clue what it was either.

I found tons of dust in the inner zip pocket, somewhat made up into a cotton ball
my allergy started, and my eyes went puffy when i cleaned it

^ I have a dust allergy, too (well, probably dust mite, but you know).

Annoying, isn't it? It's not even as if you can avoid it.

Now, a brussel sprout allergy I could probably handle.

Crumbs.. careless and gross

I bought a "new" bag on eBay once and it arrived with crumpled up tissue/napkins in the pockets (I assumed they were unused for my own peace of mind) and some paper clips.

I found what appeared to be a used Kleenex! Gross!

 

[TXGirlie]

How embarrassing! Did any of you email the seller to tell her about it??

That would be a good one - if someone left a brussell sprout in the bag
