What would you do if you left your purse or wallet at an interstate rest stop?

Asked by JLeslie (65445points) February 10th, 2012

This happened to me this past weekend, and my husband and I had slightly different reactions. Here is the story:

Driving up I75 from Florida on Sunday, when we crossed into Georgia we stopped at the Tourist Welcome Center to get some maps and use the bathrooms. About 100 miles north we stopped for gas and I realized I left my purse in the bathroom back at the welcome center! I have never ever left my purse anywhere. It was getting late, the welcome center, which is a manned area, was already closed for the night, but the bathrooms are 24 hours.

What would you do next? Would you drive back? Would you try to call someone? Call to cancel your credit cards? How would you handle it? How upset would you be? What do you think your chances are of getting your purse back? Getting it back with nothing missing?

I’ll wait for some jelly answers, and then tell you how the story ends.

Oh, and I am curious where people live and if that affects how they react. My husband and I decided cultural differences and life experience affected how each of us reacted.
