They can be as clean and immaculate looking as I've ever seen and I still wouldn't want to eat off that floor.
So recently, my purse accidentally fell off the hook and landed on the floor of the public restroom. (Hmmmmm, I wonder how many times I can say "public restroom" in one post?)
O.k., follow me here. Your purse sits on the floor of a public restroom (ha!) and then you bring it home and place it on your kitchen table......that you eat on. Or on your kitchen counter.....that you prepare food on.
Can you say "ewwwww!"
I just have a "thing" about that. Also, usually the first thing that someone does when they come into your home to visit is to deposit their purse. Whenever people come into my home, at some point, their purse usually winds up on my kitchen counter.
Now, think about it. Where do people set their purses? On the floor next to them when they're out somewhere, or on the floor of the car? The floor of the restroom? In the car trunk? On the grass next to them in the park? Sometimes they hang it over the back of a chair but not always.
I would not walk on my kitchen counters, and yet in a sense we're "walking" on them when you put our purse on them (if our purse has been on the floor).
O.k., I will stop my public service announcement and leave you all to ponder where your purse has been lately. You're welcome.
Very good point.
ReplyDeleteAnd that my friend is why I DON'T carry a purse. Except on "special" occasions. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat...something else to worry about. lol
ReplyDeleteWell, that grossed me out! But very true.
ReplyDeleteYes...I always think that too and try to put my purse on the hook or the toilet paper holder {I always seem to get the stall without a hook!} but I've never thought about other people's purses when they come over! They usually end up on the floor anyway...I think! ...sigh...just when you think you have it all covered! haha!
ReplyDeleteI always thought about my purse and where it's been so it's put in the same place when I get home. Away from where we eat. But I never thought about when people come over and dump their purse on my table. UGH! I'll be paying more attention now.
ReplyDeleteI put my purse on the back of the chair at the house and on the hook at the bathroom. Ugh, thinking about the car, though...ewwwwww
ReplyDeleteUm, honestly, I didn't want to think about that. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing I only have to shove my wallet into my pocket. Now...what items have been in my pockets...
ReplyDeleteYou've made me rethink not only where I put my purse not only bathroom floor but even when I put it on others kitchen counters. EEEkks!

Oh, wow...I think this is gonna give me bad dreams. Ewwww....
ReplyDeleteEw, very gross, but kind of an eye opener. Thanks for the heads up that my purse is probably disgusting. Though I never put mine on a public washroom floor, mine has been on many other floors.
ReplyDeleteYUCK! Ewww! Thanks for the heads up! I have heard that they are dirtier than a lot of other things that we think are dirty.
ReplyDeleteYes I saw and article on that a few years back, I usually have sanitizing wipes in my purse and wipe it often (for the purses that can be wiped lol) Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteOH I KNOW!!! They say that's one of the dirtiest things - the bottom of your purse just for those reasons, you smart mama. Also, the remote control in a hotel room - ewwwwwwwww. I need a Lysol pocket pal or something. Hope you're doing well ~ ♥
ReplyDeleteSo gross! I never put my puse on the table or counter top, but I will definetely have to think of this post the next time I use my purse.
ReplyDeleteI like to try and loop it over my head and let it hang on my neck. It does look pretty funny.
