Right. moonunit gave one very reasonable explanation of why girls carry purses...

Another is that it's a silly affectation, and not all females do it. Especially not alongside a backpack or other large bag. Especially when at school, when the backpack comes into the bathroom anyways because you're going between classes and there's nowhere else to put the backpack....

On the other hand, although I resist it being termed a "purse," I do have a shoulderbag that I carry to hold my wallet, cell phone, iPod, and book when I'm out and about withoutmy backpack. It's due to the lack of proper pockets on some of my clothing. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I certainly don't commonly wear any pairs of pants with pockets big enough to carry a novel (even a paperback) around with me, even if my phone, iPod, and wallet could fit.

Actually... I do have enough space to carry: My phone, my wallet, a bottle of snapple, my battered minidisc player, my keys, my laminated bus pas, my Ninty Ds and a copy of the Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy in pants. But its more comfortable if i take the bottle of snapple out and put it in my jacket

Wow, you read a post by Ankhwatcher you must be so proud.

That's awesome for you. I suppose I could carry an equivalent amount, too, if I borrowed a pair of many-pocket cargo pants from my boyfriend. I can't, however, do so in any of the girls' pants I own and prefer to wear...hence the shoulderbag. Although I like carrying my backpack, too -- my iBook doesn't fit in my shoulderbag.

I suppose it's a gift. Or something in the water.

Ah...

Thanks ladies.

I don't wear cargo pants, but then again, I don't have a iPod, I keep my wallet in my back pocket, my cell phone in one of my jacket pockets, my spare pens in one of my other jacket pockets, and my keys in yet another jacket pocket.

Maybe I could whip up a portable singularity like those in Elite Force...

Actually, I do. Almost all of my trouser are bought for work. Which means they all have stupid amounts of pockets. Plus my work coat has some stupid amount of pockets. I think about 15...

Good for you.

As I have already mentioned, I could achieve a similar state by borrowing cargo pants from my boyfriend, but I'd rather wear my own clothing....

Hey, Lektor...man, I'm trying to restrain the sock. In fact, I tried to sock the sock. But it never works...maybe you have some anti-sock solution?

Well, I could shoot you, would that solve that?

Ah...no, I don't think that would solve anything. Maybe shooting yourself would work better? Or shooting the sock?

In your +5 Bag of Holding?

Heh..I hate pants with a lot of pockets..as if I didn't look *** enough as it is, adding 20 lbs to myself by adding more pockets and more crap I don't need doesn't seem like fun to me. *shrugs* I dunno. I don't like carrying purses..I always set them down...They're annoying, and I always end up hurting myself somehow with their contents. Although I like big purses when I do use them. They're more totes I guess..although my purse for prom is REALLY cute...and my prom dress! Oh My Goodness! It's so awesome! Ok..so it's like, shiny blue, Cindrella blue in fact, and it's short in front but long in the back, so it show the bottom of my legs..and then the top has a lace up thing..and I got a tiara..and I'm going to get matching shoes..and it's going to be so awesome!

Uh...Yea...purses suck..

Whatever happens..happens.

I love cargo pants. I have five pairs of pants, and four of them are cargos.

Dad's don't hog the remote it's just the fact that your happen to really watch a show at the time they are watching the news.

Dude, I would love to have a bag made out of duct tape -- it would have to have a long strap to go over my shoulder across my chest, though, and be big enough to actually be useful. In case you missed that part of my earlier post, I don't carry a purse.

Does that make me a freak?

Something like that, yeah.

And what, you never take off/have only one jacket?

I buy pants that are too large for me simply so I have the benefit of the additional pocket space and don't keep anything but gloves in the pockets of each of my twenty-some jackets. Standard pants contents are as follows:
Right front pocket: Three linked keyrings, 19 keys, 1 Nissan Pathfinder keyfob, two kleenixes.
Change pocket: Two nickles.
Left front: between five and ten dollars worth of loose change, collapsable cross pen, toothpick holder, four pieces of paper folded into eighths, Chapstik, five kleenixes.
Right rear: Buffalo skin trifold wallet (Drivers License, ATM card, insurance card, NRA card, silver dollar, big cash, misc. other stuff), pocket comb.
Left rear: Leather trifold wallet (Student ID, credit cards, library cards, emergency key for former truck, small bills, misc. other stuff).
