We surprised coworkers and had them dump out their bags — and yes, we found a knife AND a dildo.

For us common folk, we carry a lot of weird shit.
We surprised our coworkers and had them dump out their bags and purses for the world to see. It's a revealing look into the personality of the bag holder, and it also lays bare the changes we need to make in our lives. And maybe some cool products too? We'll see.
I'm a messy person who swears it's an ORGANIZED mess, MOM. But I do feel like it's important to point out all the things I have half of: a charger without the cord, a sunglasses case without the sunglasses, my pencil case without the pencils inside, one single sock. All the Aleve and Advil is there because I get migraines and apparently forget I already am carrying a bottle around. Shoutout to the mouthwash and mini lip balm my dentist gave me at my last visit.
I'm personally shocked I don't have more trash in here. But am not shocked that I only remembered one sock for my exercise class after work. I actually bought that pair of socks at a spin studio because I forgot socks before. Basically, this bag shows my attempts at organization are wildly imperfect but hey, I'm out here trying my best.
I highly recommend this Glossier lip balm because it's great. Also I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mother for collecting and giving me all her Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons. Truly embodies a mother's sacrifice.

The first thing I see is the flag. I grabbed it thinking that it was a Colombian flag, but later discovered that it probably is Romania's. This was shocking as I had apparently not been able to recognize my own country's flag. So I kept it... as a reminder of my stupidity.
The prayer card under the sun glasses was found on the Metro North during the time I was applying to BuzzFeed. I grabbed it, read it, and put it inside the same school bag above. I moved on to check my phone and at that exact minute, I got an email with a job offer from BuzzFeed. That's not all. Less than an hour earlier I was on the phone chatting with my father, who is Catholic. He was telling me about a dream he had with the saint in the card in which I was involved. I'm not religious, but when that card comes up out of nowhere, very special and cool things happen.
Those two bottles are caramel spread on the left, and condensed milk on the right. I found them on a "free" table at work. Latin Americans eat those things individually with almost everything: fruits, cookies, cakes, flans. So when I heard they were there because people did not want them and some were even disgusted by it, I ran to "save them" and give them a better home.
