Seriously
Why is it that people take my pens? I mean, seriously, what the fuck? I realize they’re pretty generic and not all that special, but they’re MINE. And when you take them, what am I left with? What happens when someone calls and I need to jot down some notes? What do I do when I get a sweet idea for how to build my robot? What am I to do when I have to pass a note during gym class?
See, it’s these sorts of questions an arrogant pen-stealer probably doesn’t ask themselves. They just think “hey, sweet pen! I could use one of those”. My response is simple, “hey, sweet arm… wouldn’t it look better with a cast on?”
Yeah, I went straight to physical violence… what of it? I think my parents would be proud :). But, what options do I have left? I mean, pen-stealer has already disregarded my property… why can’t I disregard his or her personal well-being? I think it’s a fair trade.
By the way… anyone got a pen?

Aim for the neck, man. Just below the Adam’s Apple. Take no prisioners.

I use Pilot Precise V5s in blue or purple. No one else in the office uses them so it’s very obvious when someone has stolen one from me. Oh sure. They claim they picked it up by “mistake” but I know better and they also know better than to not return them. I don’t think any one of us is quite clear on just what would happen if my stash dwindled down to nothing but I also think they don’t ever really want to find out.
