This troper carries four rolls of duct tape, a sewing kit, a work shirt, a belt, some feminine products, lotion, a knife, a thing of matches, a book, iPod, keys, wallet, and cell phone all in a purse that's about a foot wide, foot tall, and 4 inches thick

In This Troper's school messenger bag, you will find the following: four to five notebooks (for Geometry, English, World History, Biology, and a spare notebook in case I run out of pages in one notebbok), her English binder, various worksheets/tests/quizzes she got handed back, three manga books, her colored pencils, a small pencil sharpener, her pencil bag (which contains pencils, pens, highlighters, my school ID, my scientific calculator, a Geometry compass, and a ruler alone), a math pack (that very rarely got used), and whatever book she has checked out from the library. I even put in a kimono with a sash so I could take it to school and wear it later on for a fundraising event for my school's Anime Club.

This Troper's a walking Bag of Holding, and combine this with being crazy prepared to the point where he has been attributed with the quote: "If he doesn't have it, you don't need it."

This Troper's backpack. Need something? I've probably got it. Boy Scout training combined with ROTC training means I've got just about anything needed for the most common emergencies.

This Troper has the Purse of Holding, the Backpack of Holding, and sometimes even the Pockets of Holding. It's amazing what I can pull out of them.

This Troper has a trenchcoat that allows me to 'seem' CrazyPrepared by allowing me to pull out whatever is needed in a given situation. Truth is there are a finite number of things required for any situation and my trenchcoat has enough room for all of them. I have a 'lot' of pockets.

This Troper's grandmother was astonished that I didn't need shopping bags. Not with my...Coat of Carrying. I usually brag (truthfully!) that I can fit 2 six-packs of cans of coke in each pocket.

This troper carries a man purse filled with comics, [=DVD=]s, pencils, allergy medication and other nerdy things. While it's by no means "all purpose" it has enough to occasionally amaze people. Such as when someone was asking what issue of Avengers had the famous Ant-man on Hawkeye's arrow cover, this troper reached into the bag and produced Avengers #223.

This troper has, on an average day, these things in her purse: flashlight, paperback book, wallet, cell phone, Game Boy Advance, military-issue sewing kit, cough drops, camera, several packs of gum, water bottle, and assorted other junk. And that's just the main pocket. She and her friends call every bag she has owned in the past 3 years a Mary Poppins bag.

My poor backback it held 60+ pounds of school related gear for almost two years and then it died of a broken strap. the only reason it held out so long was that is was designed as a camping backpack.

Girls seem to do this a lot with purses. A girl I know once dumped out the contents of her (rather small) bag and they somehow covered an entire table. So I guess my question is, does estrogen create HammerSpace?

Yes. Ever heard of VictoriasSecretCompartment?

This Troper knows a former Army Cadet who was known simply as 'pockets' for the fact that he had anything to hand at any given time. And if he didn't, it was stashed in his pack somewhere.

I refuse to reach into my wife's bag to find something, mainly because I can never find ''anything'' in said bag. However, she can reach in and pull out exactly what I was looking for, including at one point a huge bottle (500 count) of aspirin.

This troper had an unusually large purse for a while, which she often kept a book, some candy, several papers, various pens and pencils, etc. in. People familiar with this not-actually-supernatural object were constantly asking that she store things they didn't want to carry in it (like half a dozen apples!), and on occasion whether she had some totally random thing in it. This often worked out for them.

This troper's mother got her a nice tote-style bag so she'd have a nice bag for interviews and internships and such. This seemed like a good idea... until she found she can fit her calculus book in it easily. Now she takes it with her just to see how much stuff she can manage to fit in it.

This troper's laptop bag kinda follows this trope. Laptop (of course), charger, [=CD=]s/[=DVD=]s for many operating systems, mouse, headphones, power adapters (the laptop has a 3-pin power plug; many buildings in Brazil still use 2-pin outlets), screwdrivers and many USB cables and devices. Pretty much anything you'd need in a PC emergency.

Apparently Bags of Holding run in the family, as This Troper's female relatives all seem to have one, each of which has a different nickname: The Abyss, The Black Hole, The Poppins Purse, The Great Big Bag Of Everything...

This Troper's pockets for his school uniform pants was a rather large in-joke with his friends. Said pants pockets were said to hold the universe itself, considering what this troper has pulled out of them at one time which include: a Cowboys From Hell CD, a large bag of peanut butter M&M's, money, house keys, guitar picks and strings, a bag of beef jerky, various pens and pencils, and a rubber duck just for the heck of it. also when it rained I was accused of it because I simply washed my pants, thereby making the universe get wet, funny because it sometimes did rain the day after I did my laundry.

While not a bag many who have met this Troper and his vest have claimed that it acts much the same. Two pockets in particular are the main cause for this. Each of equal size and upon testing have been discovered capable of containing a Nintendo Wii and still have room left over even counting Wiimotes and other parts there would still be more space for things in the vest. Typical contents of the vest are several books, several DS games still in their cases, a DS, a graphing calculator, a wallet, keys, cellphone, glasses case, several pounds of lose change, earbuds, an umbrella which recently broke and has yet to be fixed, around a dozen writing utensils, car and house charger for the DS, spare batteries for the calculator and a game boy color, a game boy color, a deck of playing cards, fifty or so index cards, various folded up papers, and on occasion a 1.5 liter water bottle. Currently since this troper is not leaving the house much the load in the vest has lightened.

Kulture here, and I used to think my old coat counted, holding the necessities for my usual occurrences. This is being kicked up a notch with my latest investment in clothing, a German sniping smock, with more pockets than I have personal belongings. The thing is literally nothing but pockets but still has room to mount camouflage/foliage loops and a space for patches/medals.

This troper's hip holster of holding carries his cell phone, wallet, keys, AND ipod in an area a little bigger than an average trade paperback.

This troper, in his blazer alone, has carried: Pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, rulers, calculators, water, chocolate, a stapler, several phones, CD's, ''proper books, headphones (the clunky kind), and a '''''wii remote.''' All in the same day.

This troper has two: his chain wallet has a Change Purse of Holding, and his bag could probably hold half his weight no problem.

I have had to figure skate with 3 different top hats in the past. One was so big, I decided to find out how much random crap could fit in it. I got

A clock

A pair of shoes

A bunny tail (Don't ask)

A t-shirt

A towel

And a pair of socks inside.

In this troper's sling bag of holding, there are per default:

At least one biro/pencil/other writing device.

At least one college block for spontanous outbursts of creativity.

A wallet. #QUOTE# From now on, things vary.

A bottle of Diet Coke. Size varies.

Something to eat, sweet or not.

Various flyers.

Deodorant.

A piece of a door seal.

Lots of weird things she can't remember.

This troper carries around a huge orange messenger bag that holds quite a bit. It looks especially comical when fully loaded as it did when he used it as his sole piece of luggage for a week in Seattle, containing:

Three changes of clothes

His Laptop

File Folder

Headphones

Spare shoes

2 2L Bottles of Coke

Various chargers

This troper's messenger bag contains at present, A large pad of A4 paper, two sketchbooks, a plethora of pencils, two fountain pens and a bottle of ink, a copy of "East of Eden", a bottle opener, a swiss army knife, Matches, a sleep mask, playing cards, polyhedral dice, iPhone, various letters and university correspondence and an empty coke bottle. I have had bags straps snap within a week of buying them.

I've been kind of forced into this. My work backpack contains:

Laptop

Electronic signature pad

Leather folio (which has my passport, fingerprint card and palmprint card for identification)

Three-connection 15-foot extension cord

multiple and various ended USB cables

fifty-foot CAT5 network cable

USB drive (500GB)

Cell phone

Two breakfast bars

FireWire cable

And attached to the main pack are a pair of smaller packs. One contains tools ranging from screwdrivers to sockets to wire ties and the other pretty much any office supplies I could need, expect printer paper.

I also have in my car a third backpack with enough gear and food to last three days, and four gallons of water.

I have a quite small handbag which seems to fit everything I need in it, with a lot of squashing it in, but I can still do it! Examples include:

I was going out with my friends, but my parents didnt approve of the short skirt I wanted to wear. I put my jeans on, and the skirt in my bag, left the house, then in the toilets at the train station, I changed into the skirt and rolled the jeans up and put them into my tiny handbag, still having space for my purse, phone and make up bag.

I went to my friends house to stay the night, and had everything I needed in that bag-rolled up pyjamas, phone, purse, small bottle of coke, toothbrush and hairbrush.

I took the bag to my high school prom too, and in it was the gloves I was wearing at the beginning of the night but took off, phone, money, camera, make up, perfume, hairbrush and a bunch of plastic roses

I used to keep Discworld books in my sweatshirt pockets. I got weird looks.

I own a bag that I bought because I wanted to use it for college, but then I bought another as it couldnt fit my folder in it. Its good for storing other things, as I have successfully squeezed everything I need for a weekend long holiday in it. It has 7 pockets in it, 3 of which I only discovered yesterday.

This troper's bag has three pencils, an eraser, a deck of cards (don't ask), a English-Japanese dictionary, paperweights, band-aids, a note-pad, sharpener, my wallet, name stickers and occasionally sweets in it.

This troper has a medium-sized handbag that she always uses when going to the library by bike. It can hold: my wallet, my iPod touch, my cellphone, a 0.5l bottle of water, several pens, an A5-notebook, earbuds (or a small headphone), my keys and 4 library books(usually paperback,2 of which about 500 pages thick and 2 books with about 200 pages). It's rather heavy when full, but that's why a bike has a luggage carrier and why I take an elastic luggage rope with me as well.When I use it as a normal handbag (meaning it still holds everything except the books), I can also easily get a jacket/sweater in it. Also handy when we have to go somewhere I know I'm going to be bored, as I can easily take a book or, sometimes, my DS/PSP with me.

Five tubes of lip balm of assorted ice cream flavors

A lepord print umbrella

A Harry-Potter-esque silver wand (for no real reason)

iPod

Camera

Cell Phone

Her DS

Chopsticks

A 557 page hardback book

Change purse

A case of nail clippers and nail files

An empty game box

Lotion

Hand sanitizer that smells like marshmallows

and two sharpies

This troper has been known to keep a wide assortment of objects in his pockets. Friends are often surprised by how much stuff I can fit in there, including but not limited to.

A copy of WorldWarZ and AndThenThereWereNone

A Nintendo DS

Ipod

Cellphone

Wallet

5 seperate minute glasses

A looking glass (had to throw it out after it broke)

Calculator

2 cans of Soda

Duct Tape It also doesn't help that I tend to stuff things into the sleeves of my sweater as well, thus I've gained a reputation for holding most anything that's needed.

This troper used to have a belt pouch at work that she referred to as her Magic Bag of Holding (or just Magic Bag). Keep in mind that the pouch was only about 9x7” and the only fastener was a flimsy strip of Velcro that didn’t even do much when the thing was empty. At any given time, it contained at ''least'':

Required for work: three pens, two Sharpies of varying colors, a pocket notepad, trading pins, multiple pin backs, up to two dozen stickers, a stack of sheets of temporary tattoos, a stack of themed paper doorhangers, a dozen guidemaps, a dozen time-guide supplements for the guidemaps, two dozen credit-card-sized photo cards, a stack of 3x5” notecards, and

Not required for work: a sewing kit with at least a dozen colors of thread, a full sized pair of scissors, chapstick, a few folded sheets of loose-leaf paper, a bottle of hand sanitizer, a book on how to write screen plays, and a 10oz bottle of sunscreen.

Not all present all the time: a pair of sunglasses, another 6x4” book, the kit for a magic trick involving cards, an inhaler, an iPod, and earphones. And remember the "bag didn’t close" part? No one commented on the amount of stuff or that the pouch looked full until I actually dumped it out on my breaks.

As a side note, the raingear we were given somehow folded up into a butt-pouch that ''had'' to have Time Lord technology built into it.

This trouper went to Europe with a group of teenagers. I quickly became known as "mom" because I had anything and everything from medicine to sunscreen, to a book light and cards

This troper has a friend that has a teeny tiny bag that can fit his binder, his pencil case, his stack of assorted loose papers, and his biology book (which actually has a larger dimension than the bag.) All without looking bulky. No one knows how he managed to make it all fit.

This tropette keeps the following in her purse (which she has dubbed the Giant Sack of Crap): earrings, 10 tubes of lipgloss, about $0.07, six pencils that may or may not work, a tape measure, a giant roll of duct tape, hand sanitizer, krazy glue, a very large copy of the fifth Harry Potter book, a green ribbon, my iPod, my cell phone, my DSi, and a tube of glitter. It has also carried this tropette's laptop at the same time as carrying an entire meal from McDonalds. It doesn't help when I stick my arm in to grab something and my entire arm is in there.

This troper has many of these:

One holds the entire collection of Harry Potter books in Hardback with a little extra space for a paperback volume of the first book

A backpack that once stored: About ten notebooks, six folders, the box one gets their iPod Nano in, filled with band-aids, her iPod and headphones, three pencilcases, her chem and math books, a large pair of scissorsthree glue sticks, three kinds of hand sanitizer, my wallet, two rolls of duct tape, and my rather large makeup bag. I think I also fit my flute and my folder of sheet music in there too.

She also has a friend who fit three, four bottles of soda and a bunch of candy in her teeny-tiny purse, along with her wallet. She still had space left.

I have a bag that is capable of holding a large amount of items. It is truly amazing how many items you can put in a container if the volume of items is less than or equal to the volume the container can hold.

This troper's purse contains: a notepad, two bottles of hand sanitizer, five pens, a pack of tissues, lip balm, a deck of cards, nail clippers, my cell phone and phone charger. When necessary, I can also fit an umbrella, two or three books, one of those metal puzzles, several boxes of candy and a hat in it.

This Troper's brother, having been a long-term member of the Scouts, has a philosophy that more can '''''always''''' be placed into a rucksack.
