This thread (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&postid=1177965#post1177965) made me wonder which shoulder everyone carries their purse on.

I'm left handed and carry my purse on my right shoulder.

I usually just carry my driver's license and money in my back pocket or something small for my wrist. I hate carrying things, but, I love purses. :D I honestly don't know which side I carry a bag on, when I do carry one. Hmmmm....I'll have to pay attention next time....oh, wait, I carried a bag yesterday, and, it was on my left shoulder! :) I have to vote now. :)

Hehe, I rarely ever carry a purse unless i'm on vacation. (I used one when I was in Utah) I stuff everything in my pockets.



I almost always have my camera case with me, though, which I basically use like a mini-purse. Sometimes i'll keep chapstick in money in it. Which I usually put on my right shoulder and sling it over to my left side.

I voted right because I'm Right handed. But I really don't use a purse a lot. I do carry this little purple draw-string sack somtimes to keep my cell, Money, and a pack of gum in.(I can't live without gum) But thats about it.

I always carry my purse on my left shoulder. Probably cause I am right handed..

I have to carry it on my right shoulder because that's the strongest one of the two. And unless my purse is small (it's been a long time since I carried a "small" purse) it's really big and very heavy. Having it on the left makes it always fall.

I hate the way purses hang off of you and fall off so I have a little mini backpack.

Ever since 1994 I've carried my wallet and necessaries in my pants pockets. I DO have a purse, don't use it much though.

I carry everything on my left shoulder. I had surgery on my right shoulder several years ago. For months, I couldn't put any weight on it. I could now with no problems, but just got in the habit of using the other side.

That's how I usually do it, but if its not slung across then it is still on my left shoulder, straight down. I'm left-handed.

Left shoulder ALWAYS! I am right handed, though.

My purse always falls off of my shoulder, right one, so I put the strap over my head and wear it across my chest.

I always hang a purse on the right shoulder. ;) But other times i like using a backpack purse because it is so comfortable.:) When i go places with Chica, I use the backpack style purse so my hands are free to hold Chica. :) :rolleyes: I take her to alot of places. Our mall is one of them. I have a backpack on wheels with an adjustable handle I put her in and roll her all around the mall. People come up to her and just love to see her . She is a good shopper!!!!
The backpack is made for small dogs. :) It works real good!!!

I had forgotten that mine always falls off my left shoulder too. I always thought it was because my shoulders aren't even (the left is lower), which is due to my having scoliosis.

I have shoulder problems and carrying it in my shoulder hurts so I usually buy one with short straps and just carry it in my hand. But when I did, I used my right shoulder, it seemed to always fall off the left one.
