Girls … what will you not put in it … ???


Hello ...
I went to have a coffee with a girl few days back ...
I haven't seen her for a long time and we needed to catch up ...
We went to a coffee shop a short walk away from her place ...
While we enjoyed our blacks, I couldn't help but notice ...
The extra ordinarily large handbag that she was carrying ...
I thought she was going some where after our meet ...
Being me... curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask ...
"No ... I'm going right back home to catch a TV show ...
I just like to have all the stuff I might need in the bag ..."
I dropped her home ... but the bag wouldn't leave my mind ...
Compared to us guys ... girls carry around a lot of stuff ...
Guys would normally carry may be 3-4 items while they are out ...
Wallet... phone... keys... shades... and cigs if they've to ...
Girls on the other hand carry a mind-numbing number of stuff ...
And though we guys are intrigued about what's inside ...
Girls guard the content of their bags with their lives ...
You've got to earn her trust before you can take a peek inside ...
I list here stuff that I've seen girls carry around with them ...

- Purse (some times more than one) ...
- Phone ...
- Tissue (an open packet and an extra packet) ...
- Mirror ...
- Cigarettes ...
- Lighters (sometimes ... one working one not) ...
- Bottled water ...
- Notebook ...
- Pens/Pencils (usually more than one) ...
- Hair brush ...
- Make-up kit ...
- Digital Camera (mostly compact point and shoot) ...
- CDs (mostly with an unhinged jewel case) ...
- DVDs ...
- Medicine ...
- Oil control paper (its blue in color ... dunno the name) ...
- Bills (phone bills mostly) ...
- Cheque book ...
- Reading glasses ...
- Sun glasses ...
- Ticket stubs ...
- USB pen drive ...
- USB hard drive ...
- USB cable ...
- MP3 player ...
- Batteries ...
- Chewing gum ... bubble gum or mints ...
- Supari ... or killi ...
- Women's stuff ... (you know... stuff) ...
- Keys (most are remnants of the locks they used to open) ...
- Sewing kit (the mini packs) ...
- Umbrella ...
- Books ...

So I ask myself ... why do girls carry all these with them ... ???
May be because ... it in their nature as care givers ... ???
They would never hesitate to dig in to their bags and share ...
Or may be they have this deep rooted desire ...
To be close and in possession of what they might need ... ???
I dunno know really ... your guess is as good as mine ...
Laterx ...

You forgot sanitary napkins and tampons.

"we needed to catch up"

How bad was this "need"?

I don't think it has anything to do with women being care givers. If I were to make a guess: first, it's smart to carry around some tissue and sanitary pads when you're a girl - especially if you spend a lot of time out. Second, when there is no one the bag keeps them company.

yeah...agree with u n have the same questions on ma mind too..

bulhaa said...

get out- sewing kits????
no way!

even thoh u men like bulges in ur pockets us girls dont. [speaking of which i can never get over how u guys would put ur wallet in ur back pocket and then SIT on it]
so we need a bag. we like to be prepared. u never know when or how it might come in handy [ to hold ur cam in to take a fabulous shot, or to whack a leering guy with the bag]
makes us complete , that mobile pocket, yes it does.

I've had friends who carry a tiny towel and an underwear in their bags. :p Seems you missed that.

I ask what Bulhaa asks, how do you guys SIT on your wallets?

Phone, purse, tissue, mirror (in case you notice everyone grinning when they look at you and you need to find out why) and when it's time of the month sanitary napkins would do. And headphones to your phone/Ipod, chewing gum or supari is an added advantage when you're going out to a coffee you wanna just shut up and enjoy the coffee. Other than that, I don't believe you need to carry all that when you're in Male'. Sewing kit, bills, batteries, bottled water??? Wha-aaat?

bro ...
do u notice this amazing part where they have all those in the bag and the minute they want to find something it's a total waste of time as they never know which part of the bag has it ...

and as bulha said we do sit on our wallets ... look our ass do sweat when it is damn hot and the sweat goes into the leather wallets in our back pocket ... hehehehe can't help i do carry it in my back pocket!!!

sHweeeeeT said...

all the above stuff are seriously very important..hama komme fadha kameh ves dhimaa vedhaaneyyy!!!
O.O

copy pastd what bulhaa said ;)

.mini said...

well, it is kinda difficult to put everything into our pockets so a bag helps
but water bottles and sewing kits are, well, useless
if i had a bag, ill just put some money, my camera in case of any incident, trust me you wouldn't want to know and that would be it
some women are just, crazy!

andhu said...

stop looking into bags, whats wrong with you :P

subcorpus said...

anonymous::
no i did not forget sanitary napkins ...
i just used a collective name for it ...
women's stuff ...

simon::
the need was great ... blv me ...
social and cultural necessity ... to bitch behind someone's back ... hehe ...
no ... we just needed to discuss some issues ... some issues were related to a mutual friend of our ... creating the need to catch up ...
justified ... ??? hehe ...

XefroX::
yeah ... i guess we all have our unanswered questions ...

bulhaa::
honest to god i saw a sewing kit... if you are shocked to hear it ... you must have an idea how i would feel when i saw it ... eh ?
we dont like bulges in our pockets ... what/who gave you that idea ... ???
and also ... you might wanna know that the a new wallet may give us some difficulty ...but a few weeks later ... the wallet is nicely contoured to the shape of our butt ... so we doesn't even realize if it their (or not) ...
whacking a guy over with your bag may be fatal (considering the amount of stuff in a girls bag and the weight of it) ... may i suggest pepper spray ... ???

shAf::
underwear ??? well you girls just keep getting better (an weirder) heheh ...

Personal Trainer::
yeah ... but i heard they are making a profit selling girls hand bag organizers ... hehe ...
bro ... about the sweat .... i thought leather wallets were kinda resistant ... hehe ...

sHweeeeeT
you must be the ONLY girl carrying ONLY a wallet ... would make quite easy to identify on the road ...
the next stranger who says hello to you ... hello him back ... it may be me ... hehe ...

i - k k o::
copy paste what i said to bulhaa ...

.mini
now that you want us not to know ... we seriously do wanna know ... tell us ... what is it ... pepper spray ... night stick ? sharp stuff ???

andhu::
bro ... i am trying ... i can't help but notice ... guess i'm just observant when i should not be ... hehe ...

Mohamed said...

I guess the most important thing any girl should carry in their hand bag this their boyfriend's iPod

Personal Trainer said...

this is cool ...
refer to simons comment ...
copy past subcorpus answers ...
hehehehe

"Girls guard the content of their bags with their lives …"
Apparently our lives are not enough to guard these precious belongings. You, my friend, have a surprisingly detailed knowledge of what is inside our bags! A bit worrying actually.

And another point to add is that, most girls don't ride motorcycles and therefore can't zoom back home whenever we need anything (or need the loo)! Neither do we have an "under the seat compartment" to put in the following items I've seen many guys (don't, technically) carry around with them: (cut and paste)

- Digital Camera (mostly compact point and shoot) …
- CDs (mostly with an unhinged jewel case) …
- DVDs …
- Medicine …
- Bills (phone bills mostly) …
- Cheque book …
- Reading glasses …
- Sun glasses …
- Ticket stubs …
- USB pen drive …
- USB hard drive …
- USB cable …
- MP3 player …
- Batteries …
- Chewing gum … bubble gum or mints …
- Supari … or killi …
- Keys (most are remnants of the locks they used to open) …
- Books …

.....to name a few :)

u know sometimes i ask them if they've a gun in there, just to make sure i'll be safe with them...

jaa said...

I reckon the girl's put Boyscouts to shame judging from your listing of their handbags - "be prepared" really seems to be the female motto?

mariks said...
