I recently emptied the contents of a friends handbag, which happened to weigh the equivalent of a small house and laughed my socks off as she tried to explain why there was so much pointless junk in there!

Why do women do that? Do you really need to keep everything but the kitchen sink in there? You should at least leave room for your partners mobile phone and keys so we don’t have to carry them!

In short, yes we do need all that so-called pointless junk. Sooner or later, it all comes in handy.

You may laugh, but the next time you need a hammer, your friend may very well have one to hand. Same thing with, oh I don't know, a mouse trap, a travel size bed, sink etc.

Yes, i liken them to a tardis myself LOL

My ex was just like that, she would have to spend ages searching through it to find anything, it really hacked me off haha

I remember a Sunday morning a long time ago, my girlfriend and I had woken up a bit hangover dieing for a cup of tea, went to the fridge but no milk. I checked my wallet and had no cash spent it all the night before, so had the lady. So in a blinding flash of genius I sad turn your handbag inside out im sure there will be enough change floating loose in the bottom. So she did...

£31.56 was counted out, I remember it vividly; she had been complaining for ages that she always had too much stuff in her handbag, as it was getting very heavy, now we knew why.

We forwent the cuppa and decided to go to the local cafe for a slap up fry-up on our good fortune.

Not all of us carry loads of extra stuff about. It annoys the hell out of me that I can't fit everything in my pockets.

The contents of my bag:
cheque book
purse
yesterdays shopping list
ventolin inhaler and seretide inhaler
mobile phone
keys
lip salve
and a 10pence piece

and my bag is so small that any guy I'm with has to carry his own stuff about!!

I went for a night out with my ex a few months ago and asked her to put a few things in her handbag since i didn’t have many pockets. By the end of the night she had lost my wallet and a pair of gold cufflinks that I’d had for years. I think the lesson to be learned here is never give a drunk woman stuff to look after or buy her a bigger bag first lol

Nah, that would mean having to keep everything in my trouser pockets which looks daft or leave them in my coat and hope they don't get nicked!

There just isn't enough ladies clothes made with pockets, 'cos I'd rather not have to carry a bag, but there's loads of things I like to have 'just in case'. I also have a reputation of always having whatever anybody needed in an emegency, yet I'd also have the smallest bag (probably the heaviest though!).
I have a variety of bags all different sizes/colours so that I can choose the smallest size for what I needed, COMPACT. So, unlike many women, I don't get a build up of rubbish, or not know what's in my bag, 'cos I sort it every time I use one and only put in it what I expect to need.
I think men ought to take responsibility for carrying their own things!

Why Women Should Empty Their Bags More Regularly;

After having moved house five weeks earlier i really didnt understand why my bag was so heavy and my shoulder was aching, I had removed all the screws that kept the tv on the wall, the big bag of nuts and bolts that held my sons bed together and all the other 'essential' things that must not get lost in the move.

I finally thought enough is enough and emptied all the contents, yes every zip, every pocket; of which there were many! Eventually (after taking the carboard bottom out of the bag too) i realised that the last thing i did when leaving the previous house was to help unplumb the washing machine and the wrench - yes the great big one - was still in the bottom of my bag having slipped under the cardboard bottom. I was finally able to stop taking the pain killers for a bad shoulder shortly after that !!

I now change my handbag once a month ... so guys, dont you dare ask us why we have to have to so many bags
