Infuriated by things falling over in bags...?

Weird

Inspired by someone elses thread just now about the OP needing a new tote bag that doesnt fall over, I remembered that that I get infuriated, and I mean infuriated by 'things' falling over in a bag, whether that be my handbag, work bag, shopping bag. I like things to stand up and be the right way up, cant stand it all higgledy piggledy.

And my work bag always falls over too and that annoys me.

In particular, I have a little cleaning caddy thing that the cleaning materials and bottles go in, with little sections, perfectly equipped for the bottles to stand up. The cleaner just chucks it in!!! Sometimes I find things on their side or even, fucking hell, upside down!!!!!

Probably should get out more.

I’m with you here. I like my bag organised and things standing up, but I don’t like in bag organisers as an add on. I’ve never found the right bag. Not sure I even know what I want!

What do you all carry?
I have a handbag which holds purse phone and kindle. Side pocket for keys, work pass and tissues.

Workbag is a laptop bag pack as I have back problems and the only extra is an umbrella.

I've had a basket for years which is basically like a box with handles for shopping, couldn't be without it for all the stuff that needs to stay upright.
I also use one of those wine carriers with the dividers in from Tesco. Not just for wine!

Yes my work bag is a ruck sack thing that has a laptop pocket in it, but then the rest of the bag has things in it like packets of tablets or lipsil or sometimes head phones (for work so they're massive), then packets of toiletries that have then got all squashed even though I put them in a pack so they stay in good condition.
I have lots of different handbags because like the previous poster, nothing is quite right.

I can't cope with things falling off or falling over either. Absolutely infuriating. Rucksacks falling fowards when you place them on the floor, that won't just stand up ffs...aargh.

The falling over backpack is so annoying, I’d love a stylish backpack that stood up.
Has anyone found the idea bag? Not too bulky, stands up but doesn’t allow things to fall over..
