Why anyone feels the need to destroy their back, or be slamming the other people on the bus or subway with something over packed with useless crap like old meds and chewed gum I cannot for the life of me figure out. Worse are the ones who have 50 books, 8 diapers and the canceled receipts from he last two years.
And for the record (and sorry for that rant) I'm NOT against purses, or bags. I simply have very little patience with something that winds up taking up my personal space. After all, I get things like e-readers and other "gadgets" to minimize, not add more to the pile.

OK ... so you refuse to carry a purse or a bag. I wonder how people who, like me, have to carry:
1. a laptop computer;
2. at least one legal sized notepad;
3. my cell phone;
4. my Kindle;
5. my wallet; and
6. my house and car keys
Not to mention at least some lip gloss and perhaps maybe a bit of powder for the shine on my big-assed nose are supposed to react to your decision that the stuff I carry with me -- most of which is FOR MY JOB -- is "unneeded"?
I could care less that you don't want to hear it. I don't particularly need or want to hear that some person who might be carrying things they absolutely need is invading your precious personal space.
You need more personal space?? Consider moving out of New York.
