ACKYep when there's no hook, I've had to "go" with mine on my shoulder. Depending on how big the bag is, that's really hard using the hover technique!
I used to carry a caribiner clip with me to use in stalls with no hooks. Id' put my purse straps in the clip and then hook it on the side of the stall. Not sure why I don't carry it anymore, so I need to go find it.
that's a good idea!
lol too funny! Yeah, we have to get creative when we need to. The most fun is when you have to loop it around your neck. We won't even talk about the creativity involved when you have a wristlet!!!
LOL seriously!!
I have to admit that I do sometimes put my bag on the floor, usually either at home or a carpeted floor. But definitely not in any bathroom floor, let alone a public one! I've never tried putting my bag around a toilet paper dispenser. So thanks for that idea!
I don't freak as much about the floor at home, but still...
If there is no hanger, I try to hang the strap on the corner of the bathroom door stall. This would only work if your straps are flat. And I have also had occassions where I need to just hang the bag from my neck. Haha.. I rarely carry satchels but that might be even harder to find a place to hang.
I've done that many times
I may have to rethink that strategy...I have wiped my strap down good, too
Your stories remind me of a situation that I witnessed first hand the other day which goes under the heading of "You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up". I was In the drs waiting room last week when this lovely woman runs through the door with a very urgent look on her face and grabs the key to the Ladies Room. She comes out almost 20 minutes later soaking wet from head to toe practically in tears. I felt so bad that I went over to see if she needed help and in between laughing and crying she shared her terrifying story with me. She was stuck in traffic and her kidneys were bursting so when she ran into the Ladies Room there were no hooks so she put her Open LV Neverfull Purse carefully on the sink and let nature take its course. In mid stream (so to speak) she noticed that the faucet was a goose neck no touch motion sensor faucet and her LV activated the sensor and was rapidly filling up with water as she helplessly watched in horror. Needless to say she grabbed it away as soon as she could but there was about 2 inches of water in there and the contents were soaked. Lesson I want to share be careful where you set your purse down in a public bathroom. Since then I have DH hold it so I know it's safe from harm and possible future mold issues.
That is HORRIBLE!!!!!

I'm a godless heathen that puts their purse on the floor. I actually stepped on my AW Rocco at a concert last week. (I was on the rail, she could SEE me, how could I not dance?)
I don't think I've ever been in a public restroom that didn't have a hook. Most likely if the bathroom didn't have a hook, it was probably also one I just refused to use. I'll hold it, thanks.

No hooks on the door...you can tell a woman didn't design that bathroom!!!! That's just a mean thing to do! Even when I'm at school my backpack goes on the hook - never the floor! With the weight of my backpack I know one day it's going to ripe that hook right off lol...but I'll take my chances!

I always pull on the hook with all my weight, to make sure it won't fall off
lol good idea. I guess I just throw caution to the wind.... hahaI always pull on the hook with all my weight, to make sure it won't fall off

Scary, but the bag might have been salvageable if she could get it home quickly. I spilled an entire glass of water into my Neverfull, and I was able to completely dry it out with a hairdryer.
