Hey, that's a GREAT idea!

I'm definitely going to keep this in mind next time I'm out at a restaurant with my bag. I usually put it behind my back with my jacket covering it or put it on the empty chair next to me.
Speaking of empty chair, I went to a shabu shabu restaurant today. It was really empty when I first got there and we were seated at the bar so I put my LV on an empty chair next to me. The restaurant started to fill up around me. All of the sudden, I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned around. There was a lady holding up my LV by the handles and said to me "excuse me, is this yours and can I have this seat?" For some reason, all I could think of at that very moment was "eeekkk... she's TOUCHING my LV, especially the vachetta handle, with her yucky hand!!!" :evil::cry: So I grabbed it from her and munched away at my lunch angrily. I felt violated for some reason! I think I have a problem...
