[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you say “hey, can you watch my purse while I’m in the restroom?”.[/quote]

+1 I would’ve assumed you brought it with you. I’ve accidentally forgotten my own bag, I can hardly think it’s fair to expect others to keep track of my stuff if I don’t specifically ask them to. [/quote]

Why does everyone keep saying that they might not have seen it when she said that a coworker had hers in the same chair and had to move it to get her own? I get personal accountability but is that not just a bit problematic? They work together and had dinner together. It’s really not cool.[/quote]

Agreed - the issue is that they did see the purse, they couldn't avoid seeing the purse since they had to move it to get the other co-worker's purse.

The OP is reading this data point as a problem. Other posters are objecting to the single data point because most of us typically want to see a pattern before making a friend-no friend decision. They're also pointing out that OP contributed to the dynamic - she should have either taken her purse with her or asked her co-workers to watch it. Fair points. That said, many of us missed the point about moving the OPs purse to retrieve the co-worker's purse. I think that's a critical point. If they won't do this one act of fundamental decency for her that most people would do, then that's something to consider. No one was drinking alcohol, according to OP, so this was a clear-headed decision to not be considerate.[/quote]
