Are you a pack rat and proud?

I’d love to be like you op. Whenever I carry a bag it ends up full of literal rubbish - receipts, half drunk water bottles, and spilled foundation. I can’t find anything useful, or my keys. My notebook ends up dog eared. I stress about security guards demanding to search my bag because I would have to die of shame.

These days I wear jeans so I always have good pockets for my phone, cards and keys.

Absolutely no need to hide my post,.I wasn't attacking anyone.

what's your AIBU?

Eh? What's funny? Why does my reply make you think my life has no humour?
@BauhausOfEliott What's cheery or uncheery about my post?
No idea why it's been quoted by two people giving me instructions. I've never heard a phrase before, and just asked if OP only gets 8hrs a day at home.

Cheer up, eh?

Yep backpack here as well. Like a tadis with surprise rooms

I also use a big bum bag as well. Couldn't be arsed with handbags.

Maybe try a little humour in your life?

I only clicked on the thread because I don't know what a pack rat is, or why it's something to be proud about. Still don't know, but no, I don't use a bag anymore.

Do you only get 8 hours at home every day?

As little as possible here too, small crossbody bag.

Although if I have to take a rucksack anyway for some reason then I do end up bringing way more stuff.

Basically I’ll take whatever the bag will hold.

I always have a bag.
I do vary between small bag for convenience and backpack, but the difference is usually length of time I'm out and if I have to take computer.

I wear reading glasses. Most of my clothes don't have suitable pockets for glasses and phone. I don't use my phone to pay for stuff, so I also need a purse, and of course keys.

My dh carries all that in his pockets and I hate the way it makes his clothes misshapen!.
I can just do it in my big winter coat which has big pockets. But I prefer a small bag.
Then I can throw in paracetamol, a couple pf plasters, hairbrush, and pocket pack of tissues. That's my bare minimum!

I think it makes sense op to carry a rucksac or back pack or whatever they’re called. I was thinking the other day as I got my handbag, lunch bag and laptop bag out of my boot, why don’t I just use a back pack and fit it all in one??? Im in my 50s and I think it’s just ingrained from the 90s work era. Those who have no bag obviously buy lunches and don’t need to transport a laptop ? I love to have my hairbrush ,small amount of makeup, perfume, pen, pad and not to mention glasses, sunglasses, hair ties etc. ----

I'm a no bag person too.
Pockets and plenty of them

I am a no bag person if possible.

Today will have a small cross body bag that fits my phone, travel pass, and keys
Cant bear lugging around bags
