Ok, you excuse yourself from the crowd to the powder room a.k.a. restroom a.k.a. toilet.
You walk into a cubicle and find no hook behind the door, the slab to rest your handbag is wet. Your next alternative is to leave your
handbag on the floor while you take care of your important business for the minutes you need while you sit on the bowl. Once you are done, you carry the handbag with you and then move out to join your friends. Then conveniently, you put your handbag on the table or the seat. Now, did you realise you have just help hundred thousands or millions of germs in migrating?
Now think twice before you leave your handbag on the floor when you visit the loo.
