I love Tote Bags. Most of my bags are Tote Bags. 
A Tote bag can be used to carry any number of things. I like it for its flexibility. It’s the kind of bag that can be used over and over again in day-to-day living. People really just want something that is one big compartment and they can dump their stuff into, and that basically describes the Tote bag.
There are many different ways of carrying a Tote Bag. Guys also tend to carry it differently from girls. (Yes, I've seen many guys carrying Tote bags)
I usually Carry around my Right Shoulder. If the strap is short, I'll just Hold it using my Right Hand. I am a Right hander so I guess this is the reason why I always place my Tote Bag on my Right hand side.
So, do you Carry a Tote Bag? How do you Carry it?

Hi friend, i don't use tote bags. When i go outside, i never take any bags. Even if i go for a journey i tried not to take any bags as possible as i can. Less luggage more comfort. I like to walk without any bags. Thanks.

I carry a tote bag everytime I go out.. Everything I'll be needing when I'm out is in my bag.. And it's beside me always since I'm on a wheelchair..

Hi,dear poohgal,
Well.,for me I like to use the tote bags that have fixed wheels as I can carry it easily without using too much strength..If I use the tote bags that have straps mostly ,I will carry it around right shoulder until some day one of my friends said to me that"molly your shoulders are out of balance now"they asid I have different shoulders with my big tote bag..So from that time I will carry the tote using both of my shoulders ..If my right shoulders feel tired I will change it to my left shoulders in order to keep them balanced....

Yeah, i have seen guys carrying tote bags too, but i dunno what they carry inside the bag.. lol =D
I dun like tote bag, instead i prefer sling bag as it can put alot of things also.. PLus, the whole weight is being distributed around the whole shoulders, while the weight in the tote bag will be centralised on the area where u are carrying it on, and it's not good for our shoulders if carry it for a long time ^_^ hehe

Do you mean a purse? Is a purse the same thing as a tote bag? I carry my purse usually over my right arm. I don't have a very long strap so my purse rests nicely just under my underarm. I like it short so that no one can walk by me and grab it and rip it off, because there isn't much to grab since the straps are short and it is under my arm. The reason I do this is because I have had my purse cut off my shoulder and didn't know it because it had long straps on it and I didn't feel it being cut off. But I was lucky enough to get my purse back a few weeks later, in the mail, and that is how I know the strap was cut, I could see it.

I got back everything except my money, of course, that is why they cut it off of my shoulder, to steal my money. I actually reported it to the police when I fisrt realized I didn't have it anymore and they found it in a women's washroom and they called me to let me know, but by then I was not in that city anymore, on holidays when it happened, so they mailed it to me.

Hello Poohgal.
Yes I carry a tote bag
But mostly for the use of a diaper bag.
It's flexibility is amazing! I feel I can carry anything in mine. I just usually carry it over my left shoulder. lol
