  5. Hi. I AM those people.

    Though, it’s not that I just don’t think about bringing them back…I steal them on purpose. You should SEE my pen collection.

  7. When we were younger my dad was always yelling “Who took my pens!” cause he would buy nice felt tip ones.Now I’m totally doing that.

  8. I buy cheap pens and leave them out. PEople take those. They don’t know that i have a secret stash of good pens. Hee hee. Oh, and I take their good pens off their desks. Yeah, I’m sneaky.

  10. As a server, this is one of my biggest peeves.

    All of you who go out to eat and pay with a credit card: DON’T STEAL YOUR SERVER’S PEN.

    I’m not bitter or anything…

    lol lol lol

  15. And then those people totally deny that the pen in their hand is yours!

    Buy pens with your name on them. Or have some printed up that say “Pen Thief” on them. See how many people take THOSE. (although I actually would, ’cause that would be kinda fun.) mk

  17. Hmmmm.

    I will not steal your pen since you are all ‘Roided up (Hulkess take steroids!).

    I hope you’re feeling better.

  18. so yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre the one who stole my pen collection out of my locker in 6th grade!

    jerk

  19. Too funny! I accidently took a pen once from the dentist’s office and the receptionist CALLED me while I was driving home and asked me to bring it back. But I’d already lost it in the black hole that is my purse. Besides, she’s really crazy if she thinks I was going to turn around and come back just to bring her a pen.

  23. Hate – such a terrible word. I never let my kids say it. That would be why I had a 3 year old who loathed things, detested things, abhored things…lol. She grew up to be a pen thief.

  27. Male colleagues used to *borrow* my pens until they *ran out*.
    Novelty pens, pink pens or ones with feathers on the ends magically stay on my desk. How bout that?
