fukdane 2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh dear. For my birthday my work colleagues bought me a present. A Man Bag. I'm now in the difficult position of not wanting to be seen alive with a full-on Man Bag but not wanting to disappoint my well-intentioned colleagues. Ideas? Link to post Share on other sites

foreversnow 5 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have to admit man bags are VERY GAY even though they are called MAN BAG!!! Just use it at work or when you are at functions with them. If you lived in Australia it would be easy you could - after a period of about 4 weeks to be polite - tell them it was stolen!! Link to post Share on other sites

ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Man Bags don't have any stigma here, right? What do other blokes use then? I just have my wallet. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have wallet in back pocket, phone in shirt pocket, staff ID in front left, empty front right. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 So real macho dudes in my office that proudly take their man bags with them wherever they go. Possibly holding all their packs of cigarattes (they need 3 a day) Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 When I first came here I worked at a school and the Physical Education dude got through at least 2 packs a day. And that was at school, so he probably was on 3 a day. He was never without one when he was in the teachers room. And of course, this being Japan the kids were all swarming around him in the teachers room at all times of day. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh yes he had a man bag but was very macho, very well built for a Japanese guy. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I see lots of mainlanders use them too. Very impressive for the number of ciggy boxes they can carry. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't even have a wallett. My cash and cards are just in my pockets. I must admit to having a little man baggy thing though for all my more important docs like passport, etc. It's black and not too gay Link to post Share on other sites
