buying your own wallet / purse

useful_contacts

Always been told that buying your own purse/wallet is bad luck. That if you do buy your own you will never have any money to fill it with.

Lady stopped me in pennys last week and asked me "if i give you the money will you take this purse up to the counter and buy it" . I did, but TBH last few times i got a friend to do it would never ask a stranger

So do you buy your own wallet / purse?

AlmightyCushion

You should have taken her money. That way she'd realise that not buying your own purse/wallet is bad luck too. Always bought my own wallet and never had a problem.

Biggins

Yes, bought my own wallet and don't have a problem filling it with my own cash at any stage!
That saying is a load of bunkum that belongs back in the dark ages.

Gillington

Never heard of this,in need of a new wallet so in light of new information Ill have to ask you to buy it for me!

My mam forbade me from ever buying my own purse :pac:

I bought myself one once and I lost it. It had 60 euro and all my cards in it too...
Since then I've been using a gorgeous one my sister gave me with no problems

i didn't buy my wallet. Left it in topman- got it back. Left it in superquinn- got it back. Left it in pubs and restaurants and i've gotten it back. Yes i am forgetful, but i've always lost the wallets i've bought myself!

Never heard of that, but my Mum has another one. I wanted a cross necklace and she refused to buy me one saying it's seen as giving someone an extra cross to carry in life. Weird.

The only bad luck involved is when you are broke.;)

My mother bought my latest purse, but I'd have no qualms about buying myself one if I needed one.

must be a horrible wallet

Got my wallet as a going away present. Managed not to lose it in eight months of travelling round the world, so maybe there's something to it!
Though I doubt it.

Sharpshooter

I don't know about buying your own wallet or purse, but my ma always said if you buy one for someone else, put money in it before you give it.
Even just a coin, it's supposed to be lucky for the other person or some drivel like that.

The O.P is right you should never buy your own wallet/purse, mine was brought for me 15 years ago and i still have it and ive travelled and lived all over the world, never lost it once and ive been in many tricky and drunk situations. Dont mock something ye dont understand its all 2 easy to do.

Show_me_Safety

@youngpayters
It's actually really really nice, i just dunno what it is about me- i had it for a couple of months and it never happened and since it happened once it now happens all the time!! I'd die if i lost it- i was there when it was bought for me- it was a pretty penny!! Haha maybe that's why i didn't buy it- not superstition!

Could do with a new purse, good enough reason to give to someone to buy me a new one

Snowie

If some one bought me a wallet Id more then likely bin it, I know what I like I know where to buy it, most of my family don't. so I buy my own wallets.....

convert

Never heard of that before! Been buying my own wallets for years and I've done ok...

Capt'n Midnight

*dusts down old chestnut*

It's unlucky to be superstitious

Novella

Yeah, very unlucky to buy things for yourself!

I'm gonna give a stranger a suitcase full of thousands to buy me a house so it never goes on fire or gets broken into! :rolleyes:

Fuhrer

oddly ive always ahd wallets bought for me...

On new year's eve, a friend gave me a euro to keep in my wallet. He said it's an old tradition and it meant that I'd never run out of money during the year. I thought it was cute, although obviously I'd never run out of money if I kept the euro.

Jesus Wept

Wallet Inspector here, hand them over ppl.

Long Onion

People make up this crap to suit them

It's lucky to come and go via the back door = I don't want you walking sh1t into my hall

It's rude to leave the toilet seat up = can't be arsed putting it down myself because you've probably pee'd on it

It's unlucky to buy your own wallet = I know you have one but I have no idea what to get you for your birthday

You can get pregnant on the first time ...

Close down your browser and stop promoting superstitious idiocy on the internet.

No wonder you never lost it - most of your posts make it sound like you've never opened it.

Tar.Aldarion

I've never actually bought myself one, have one from ex amde of recycled circuit boards that's it, and some others as presents from people that I don't really use.

No problem buying one, luck thing is nonsense, never even heard that, but I do believe in being cheap.

sunnyside

I've never heard of this either. If that woman had approached me in Penney's I'd have thought she was wierd but I'd have done if for her anyway.

You learn something new every day on boards!
