“I didn’t have all of the things I needed such as various keys, my chapstick, stamps, my address book, my pepper spray, various food, gloves”
Your first step into guydom (in this instance) is to mercilessly reevaluate what you ‘need’. Keys are a necessary evil. Chapstick is a racket as addictive as cigarettes, all that other stuff you can keep in your car (wear your gloves if you need gloves) except the pepper spray, but if its buried at the bottom of your purse it might as well be on Mars anyway. Im anti-pepper spray for this reason and also because it is just likely to piss off a determined attacked and gives the owner a dangerous and misplaced bravado. If you want to defend yourself, buy a pistol and learn to use it and be willing to kill with it.
And don’t carry spare change. If you have no prospect for dropping it off somewhere, give it away or throw it away.
Anyway, thats how i roll.
