Today, I walked into a really fancy hotel bathroom. I spoke to the attendant and gave her my purse and coat while I used the toilet. When I came out, she was gone. The receptionist informed me they didn't have a bathroom attendant. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked into my hotel room, took off my coat and started unpacking. Ten minutes later, an older couple walked in, holding luggage. I'd gone into THEIR room. The receptionist gave me the wrong fob. They were surprisingly calm, but I had to explain why I’d already used one of their towels. FML
Today, I checked into a hotel for a work trip. When I walked in, the sheets and bath mat were stained, and there was soap-encrusted hair stuck in my folded towel. When I got back later in the day, all my stuff was gone because they apparently thought I'd checked out. FML
Today, at a fancy restaurant, I walked into the restroom. After washing my hands, I looked up and noticed the urinals and the sudden presence of three very confused men. I had walked into the men’s bathroom. I pretended to check my phone like I was lost. FML
Today, I walked into a restroom at a restaurant, took one step inside, and realized it was the staff-only restroom. The manager was inside, staring at me like I was an alien. I just smiled and awkwardly walked out. FML
Today, I went to a very nice reception at a hotel. I glanced inside the ballroom and saw that no one else was in there and, not wanting to be the first one there, I walked past and into the stairway. Turns out, I had walked into the emergency exit stairs and had to set off the alarm to get out. FML
Today, I waited for the single bathroom for a very long time. I finally knocked on the door and found no one was in there. FML
Today, I used a public bathroom. I hung my purse up on the hook on the door. Two minutes later, a hand reaches over the door and steals my purse. I got robbed while taking a crap. FML
Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML
Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML
Today, I had to use the bathroom really badly in a drug store. After I did a #2, just as I realized the handle on the toilet was broken, a knock came at the door. I tried fixing it for ten minutes, before slipping out the door, to come face to face with two employees coming to fix the toilet. FML

Even if they did have one...why give your things to anyone? YDI just take it with you and hang them on the hook on the bathroom door.

I never trust that, maybe I don't trust people in general but I'm not okay with the idea of handing my expensive things to a stranger and assuming they'll give them back.

A bathroom attendant will turn on the faucet and hand you a towel. They will not be a walking closet while you act the dutchess.

To be fair to the OP, if you don't frequent the types of fancy establishments where they might have a bathroom attendants you probably don't know a) how to properly identify one and b) don't know the social protocols for dealing with one. I know even at my fairly common job as a cashier people often assume I have duties outside of what I actually do, the most common issue being that some, especially older folks expect me to load their bags in their carts as a part of my official duties. So if someone can screw up dealing with a fairly common day-to-day service provider then I'm not surprised when they came across(or thought they came across) something far rarer like a bathroom attendant.

At one of my jobs we carry the items to the person's car. So I can see how some people might get confused.

I don't care if I look paranoid, but I always take my purse with me everywhere.

paranoid would be if you had sowed your purse on your skin.

I actually have had a hotel have a person at each bathroom to hold your stuff. I even made sure by asking the receptionist. Sorry OP, hope you get your stuff back.
