I've never had any problems if someone else asks me to watch their belongings in coffee shop etc. Doesn't really disturb me at all.

- em-bee 7y agoit's disturbing when you are thinking about maybe leaving, or waiting for someone and then you need to leave right away but now you are committed to stay. otherwise, i watch others stuff instinctively even without bring asked. like neighborhood watch. you just keep an eye out for each other.
- stevenicr 7y agoI'm with you on the not really minding to watch a bit - I mean if their table is in front of me or within what 145 degrees or so viewing angle? I'm going to notice any movement of object larger than a rat in the area, and would not hesitate to say hey bud, that other person is gonna be right back or something.. On the other hand I want to help others be more secure, and taking a backpack or case to the bathroom is not a huge deal (in most places) - and is generally more secure. This past week we had some run through the bar at ocharleys a mile from here grabbing purses hanging on bar stools and sitting on tables then run out the door and through a hole in a fence. It would be shitty to be accused of being in cahoots with someone snatch and grabbing.. and people should be aware that sometimes that person you ask to watch your X will be tempted to steal your X. And more tempted by knowing you are going to the latrine than to the soda machine.
