Handbags and Other Pretentious (or Annoying) Table Situations

Have you ever attended a luncheon or dinner event only to find a woman’s oversized handbag – designer or not – as your luncheon or dinner partner? To add to the dilemma, you probably noticed last-minute arrivals walk past this chair looking for a seat and assuming that the handbag signified the chair was being saved. Unfortunately, this happens at almost all events, business and social. A woman will put her handbag on the chair next to her or a man will put his computer bag on the chair next to him as if to create a make-shift desk.
