This girl left her purse in my store-UPDATE

I noticed it was left in the showroom part of my store right after she left but she was gone by the time I walked outside to tell her. I figure she'll retrace her steps and figure it out.

In the meantime I get to listen to her annoying "musical" ringtone every two minutes. I imagine it's her calling trying to locate her purse, but I'll be damned if I answer it. My Dad only taught me a few things that I truly took to heart and one of those life lessons is you NEVER mess with a woman's purse, under any circumstances. Bad juju will ensue if you do. Opening it is like opening pandora's box.

So, I guess I get to listen to the damn thing ring over and over until she gets a clue.

It could be worse, she could have a Banana phone

BTW, no pics, and no, she isn't hot.

Update: A guy claiming to be her father came in to get the purse. I asked him to verify what was in it, he said phone, and new testament.......I checked it there in front of him, and that was all that was in it.

He actually said "Did you hear the phone ring and think to answer it.". I told him yes, but I decided not to invade her privacy, if she hadn't picked it up by closing I was going to see what I could do. He checked the phone and said, "Well, it seems she only called once. The other calls are from her boyfriend Peter."

He told me then that "That was respectful of you to not go through it unless you had to, thanks.". He asked for a cup of coffee, we talked for a bit. I found out he owns a major RV dealership here in the area. He said he just took on a part time IT guy for his 15 PC network, but that I am closer. I told him about our business and experience between our stores and he said he'd give us a try on the next call. Handed him my card and wished him well.

Believe it if you will, if you don't, I really don't care. I'm just not going to Syringer my own thread.

Maybe she realized she lost her phone and is now calling it to make sure somebody found it so she can get it back.

Answer it.

Isn't there another employee there that would do it?

There's always that one unscrupulous one there (or possibly a female - wait, they're one and the same :evil: [kidding laides, kidding . . ..]), y'know . . ..

No

You are being a moron. You answer the phone and this will all be taken care of. In the meantime, this poor lady is probably freaking about her phone and purse being missing. Would you want the same circumstance to be the other way around?

Sheesh...:roll:

If you lost your wallet, would you want someone to open it and try to contact you with your driver license ID?

Common sense man, think!

I'll likely answer in a few hours if she doesn't retrace her steps and figure it out. I wouldn't want her to be without it over night. But the purse is buttoned up, so it's not like I can just quickly grab the phone in an open bag, I'd have to dig through it. It's just a respect thing I guess, it was the way I was raised.

You are blowing the whole "Enter the Purse" thing waaaaayyy out of perspective and context. This is a situation that warrants doing so. You in effect are behaving very child-like by not opening the purse, grabbing the phone and answering it...period.
