OK,I was at a wine tasting at a vineyard in California.1st offense: I put my bag on the floor.It was a Luella Daria that I paid $1500.00 for.I did not want to be rude and park it on the counter.2nd offense: An elderly lady walked in, walked up to the counter,looked straight ahead, and gave Luella a swift kick to her left. My DH thought it was hysterical because he knows how much I love my bags.He has made alot of jokes about that moment:roflmfao:

Oh my goodness! Next I probably would have put the lady on the floor and done some kicking myself! lol J/K!!!!
 
Okay. This isn't intentional purse abuse, but abuse nonetheless.

My friend's mom was driving through a sort of rough neighborhood. All these people on the street were pointing at her and laughing. She was all freaked out and didn't know why and thought she might be about to be car jacked or something.

When she got home she realized her Coach purse was slammed in her car door and it was dragging and bounching down the street next to her car. Amazingly enough the bag wasn't damanged too badly, just some scrapes, and she used it for a while after that.

That is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!:roflmfao:
 
OH dear... I'm gonna get reported in this thread...:sweatdrop:

I was going to sling my balenciaga bag between shoulders one day (in Target)... and somehow missed. I think I was too busy trying to look around the same time. The bag just plopped down in the floor, right in front of me. There were two women around me that stopped, turned around, and stared at me until I picked it up........ It wasn't intentional!! :shrugs:

Any witnesses...?
 
I think I've become more conscious of taking care of my bags since spending so much time on this forum. I never put my bag on the floor anymore (except maybe the backseat floor of my new car where no one has sat). Years ago I did sometimes set my bags on the floor. Now when I see people do that, I think it's their business if they want to set their bag someplace dirty. But the other day I witnessed a customer in a store looking at bags. She set two of these expensive bags on the floor of the store. That bothered me. She looked like someone who could afford a nice bag and who should know better. Aside from this forum, I think there's a lot more info out there about germs these days. Just had to share.
 
Purse abuse? Look, people think we're nuts for spending what we do on bags, how could we ever confront them about taking care of things like that?

I see so many instances of people not caring about things - they put unwanted frozen or cold groceries down in any aisle, don't pick up their clothes they've tried on, are rude to customer-service people ...

It's not just handbags. The problem is way deeper than that.
 
I agree. Like when you go into a store and there are clothes all over the floor. There is a lot off the "all about me" mentality out there.
