OMG ... first the hand police, now the handbag police!
Very observant, Karen.
I carry my purse on the left side (and my watch is on the left too). I'm left handed, but I can do many things with my right hand (except write). I don't recall giving the matter any thought in the past -- it just feels right, so to speak ...
I have recently thought that it may be more efficient to carry on the right when getting into the car -- it's easier to slip the bag directly off the shoulder to the passenger seat that way (in right-hand drive countries like the US), but that is strictly a male-oriented operations analysis way of thinking, and I've rejected it
