I do it all the time. I rarely ever wear my ring to work either-the area that I work in is pretty shady- I know I'm crazy. LOL

I commute to nyc too and on the subway I turn my ring around or just hide my hand if things don't look status quo! Def do it! At the same time give it up if they want it. Its not worth your life...that's what my momma says haha. But I guess yeah it would be like life ended if someone took this! It would be so sad! Protect it and yourself!

Yep! I teach in queens and have to sometimes walk blocks to get to the buildings. There is no parking near the school sometimes. I get to school early so I am usually walking the street alone. I turn my ring.

Re: turn your rings around??

I havent turned my ring around but i do very often debate on wearing it. Sometimes i get a little too drunky and get caught up in the moment, a little forgetful, i would hate to lose it.

How do you feel about taking it off on a night you are going to be partying hard?

I haven't done it in the city. But I did do it when I went to Peru in February.

When FH and I went to Europe in Sept, he wouldn't even let me take it with me. He probably won't want me to bring it on HM either.

i went to puerto rico two weeks ago and he flipped when he realized i had brought it. my reasoning isn't that why we pay insurance on it?

to the op: yes i turn my ring around but only when i feel uncomfortable. but for the most part i sport my bad boy on the subway.

Re: turn your rings around??

While I was waiting for the A train yesterday, I was reading all the posts about this topic. Once I got on the train, I turned my ring around. I never used to turn it around; however, I think i'm going to do this from now on. You never know what could happen.
