in the queue in the local small shop - think spar/co-op type thing

woman in front goes to pay - sticks her fingers down her ample cleavage and takes out a £20 from in her bra.

Ok, so her sun dress had no pocket and she had no bag but ewwww!!! it must have been all sweaty and moist when she handed it over

eeewwww!! or AIBU and thats all the rage thesedays?

(oh and as she had to carry the change in her hand anyway, why not have had the money there in the first place?)

Jesus, I keep all sorts down my bra, mainly my phone, but it is down the outside of my bra, not down my cleavage, if going out I usually have my card down there, and often the change for the carpark as well!

There is even a facebook page called something like 'I use my bra as a pocket'

IfancyKevinELevin · 30/06/2010 14:21

If I didn't have pockets I would sometimes pop my Oyster Card in my bra strap (not the cup). Only me handling it though.

Did wake up after one night on the p*ss to find it stuck under my boob though.
Hey I'm a H cup and I was in the throes of a wild youth.

Not as bad as snotting in a hanky and shoving it up your arm surely?

My boobs, and therefore bra is so small that I'd struggle to keep money in it!

bleurrgh

whomovedmychocolate · 30/06/2010 14:30

Where did she put the change anyway

notquitenormal · 30/06/2010 14:43

I've been known to keep my credit card in my bra, but since the advent of chip and pin (and after having my card cloned a couple of times) I'm the only person that ever handles it. And I have a little plastic sleeve for it.

Keeping notes there doesn't make sense, because where do you put the change?

MaudofallHopefulness · 30/06/2010 14:49

I've been known to keep a tampon in my bra - a wrapped up LilLet or something while on the way to the loos when I have no pockets and have to walk through the office. Have never kept money in there.

I remember a girl at 6th form college who was a bit skanky. She told me that she had found a chip in her bra a few days after having a "chip fight" with a friend! She had obviously worn it constantly, not even taking it off to go to bed! Ugh!

flibbertigibbert · 30/06/2010 15:03

I used to keep money in my bra when I was backpacking round Africa and worried about having my bag stolen. Just as well, because when I was mugged I was able to hand over my purse which contained about a tenner - hardly anything to me but enough to make the mugger happy - and the rest of my money was safely tucked away.

But doing when you're just popping to the local shop is a bit , especially on a very hot day.

Wanderingsheep - at the chip incident!

"My boobs, and therefore bra is so small that I'd struggle to keep money in it"

Muggle - rather that than be in my situation....i could keep the whole of Fort Knox in mine....

muggglewump · 30/06/2010 17:54

Do you have the whole of Fort Knox in it?
Would you notice if a few notes went missing?
Fancy a coffee?

onlygirl · 30/06/2010 21:46

I work in a shop and the amount of people (men) that keep their money in their trainers or socks, I'd say that was worse!!! gross

southeastastra · 30/06/2010 21:47

rofl at 'all the rage'

it certainly is

hester · 30/06/2010 21:51

I used to work with a woman who kept her mobile phone in her bra. Used to very coolly fish it out in the middle of board meetings etc. She was very respectable, rather mumsy, and I suspect it just didn't occur to her that she was drawing attention to her breasts every time she did this - it was just another useful pocket to her.

southeastastra · 30/06/2010 21:52

that is so cool hester, i'm going to try it

colditz · 30/06/2010 21:57

oh God hester, I do that.

my right breast is a touch smaller than my left, and theres this convenient space, you see.....

MmeRedWhiteandBlueberry · 30/06/2010 21:59

I keep my iPhone in my bra when I don't have any pockets

gonaenodaethat · 30/06/2010 22:14

YABU. There are more germs on someone's hands that in a cleavage.

It's not like she was keeping it in the crack of her arse.

shay2006 · 30/06/2010 22:15

I keep my phone in my bra when my hands are full. Don't like keeping them in my pockets anymore as they always seem to fall out in inconvenient places ie the toilet.

Oh, and I have been known to store my credit card there to sneak it upstairs past DH to do some serious internet shopping.

FeelingOld · 30/06/2010 22:47

I also keep my phone in my bra when i havent got a pocket or when i am in somewhere noisy as you easily feel it vibrate!! Mind you there is only me handling it.

jenroy29 · 30/06/2010 22:55

One of the expert/buyer people on Dickinsons real deal keeps her wad of notes in her bra, I think it is absolutely disgusting, eugh
