Am I overthinking this? I’m nervous to travel with pre-owned handbags I bought from the Real Real and Poshmark because I don’t know the prior owner’s lifestyle and I’m nervous if they had drugs in the bag prior to selling it to me that I could get in trouble at the airport if the bag alerts the drug dogs lol I know this is so far-fetched… one of the bags smelled badly of perfume/air freshener so I’m nervous they’re trying to cover something- otherwise the others do not smell like anything.

I say this with kindness, I think you need to vacuum them out and consider therapy.

You’re overthinking this. Trace residue in a handbag isn’t going to get you flagged or arrested at the airport.

lol honestly no need for therapy when you’ve got ladies who will be brutally honest… after hearing from you all, I stopped worrying about it completely hahah I might actually buy another one. Thanks!

Managing fears and concerns is very tough when you have the jobs we do, hired to be professional worriers. Digging into this in therapy isn’t a bad idea. I happen to be of the view that we all need it, just like annual physicals and regular exercise. I also hear in this someone with an incredible attention to detail that’s also a superpower (assuming it’s not eating you alive) so while the honesty (which all felt very loving and compassionate from my seat), and you’re so brave to ask, I hope you also see your incredible abilities. Take care of you!

Dry clean the bags. Then go get therapy. Let us know how you are doing, we are now invested. Also those must be some cute bags…

No way that could be an issue. Really not enough to cause an alert, but even in a world where it did, worst case they’d search the bag and find nothing. You’re going to be okay.

So, recently got phished while staying at Marriott Peachtree Hotel in ATL. Received call to my room at 12:30 am from the “GM” who knew my name (and room number obviously). Didn’t feel right and the night manager said the GM called and told him I would likely come down upset. He then said the issue was resolved and dismissed the situation. Sure enough, it was fraud and charges began to come in. I received 105k points but feel it should be more. What amount of points have you received and what’s?

Had to travel this weekend. A few observations. the plane was least the nerve wracking part of the entire experience. Everyone wearing masks. Middle seats open [SWA]. Plane was spotless.

Airports were empty. Most people wearing masks.
Long lines for food in the airports. Generally social distancing in lines.

Ubers have been stressful, but otherwise ok.I’m going to go wash my hands again.
