🎒 Weird Things We Keep in Our Bags! 💼

Writing Challenge: Day 24
Saturday: April 24th, 2021

I had no idea that some of the things I kept in my bag were unusual until my friends told me so 😹
Like the tape measure for example, which I consider very essential to measure some of the clothes I want to buy! I know the measurements I want for my clothes in order to fit me nicely. Since Covid started, we were no longer allowed to try clothes on in changing rooms.
Also, if I want to buy mom a gift, I just measure the piece that I believe it would fit her since I already know mom’s measurements very well.

Recently, I’ve been buying almost everything online. Since measurements are usually provided, this made my mission easier, but I still need to do some direct shopping in the malls for some stuff I don’t find online.

I also need my tape measure to check the length of the swimming pool I’ll swim in 🏊‍♀️ I know it’s a little funny but God they were so lazy in some of the swimming pools I went to and didn’t provide the measurements of their own pools! How am I going to know my 100 meters timing if I didn’t know the exact length!
I’ve been looked at weirdly while measuring, but hey, now they know the exact measurements thanks to me 😂

Another thing I keep in my bag is a pocket-size magnifying glass 🔍 I really need it to read ingredients on some of the products I buy! They print them in tiny letters that no normal person would see! 🧐
I look a little like a grandma 👵 doing that but I’m ok with it because grandmas are the best 😉

In the past and before the cell phone era, I kept my Canon camera 📸 in my backpack!
I just loved taking photographs for nature and people. There is a whole generation in my extended family that I took their most beautiful photos as kids 😻
At least in my country, photography wasn’t as popular as it became after smartphone revolution.

I had no idea that some of the things I keept in my bag weare unusual until my friends told me so 😹

Your sentence works as well, but based on the context it seems you still have these things in your bag? In which case this would be the right way to express that.

LikeOne such example is the tape measure for example, which I consider very essential tofor measureing some of the clothes I want to buy!

It's otherwise an incomplete sentence. Or, you could link it to the previous sentence.

I know the measurements I want for my clothes to have in order to fit me nicwelyl.

Since Covid started, we werhave no longer been allowed to try on clothes on in changing rooms.

Also, if I want to buy mom a gift, I just measure the piece that I believe it would fit her since I already know mom’s measurements very well.

I also need my tape measure to check the length of the swimming pool I’ll swim in 🏊‍♀️ I know it’s a little funny but God, they were so lazy in some of the swimming pools I went to andthat they didn’t provide the measurements of their own pools!

Again, the original sentence more or less works but this is clearer. Using the word 'so' would suggest some description of the depth of the laziness to me.

How am I going to know my 100 meters timing if I didn’on't know the exact length!

Choose one: past or present.

They print them in tiny letters that no normal person would seebe able to decipher!

The word 'see' suggests that the letters are so small they would be invisible to the naked eye. While hard to see, most such labels are at least visible. So, using the words decipher or understand would be the better choice.
