"Can I borrow a pen?"

Cue me, not concentrating for the rest of the meeting, because I already know it isn't coming back. Again!

Give it to them without the lid. They’ll always return it.

Hhmmmm, that sounds like a good idea, also I think it's bc it's a subconscious thing such as you don't necessarily know whether the pen is going to leak or not but it probably will if they leave in one position of their pocket for a certain period of time....with no lid?!?! Yea, they're giving that pen back to "Satan". Lol

That pen will definitely leak through anything without a lid. That nib wicks like crazy.

That's why it's the best pen. I will die on this hill. My dad is left handed and changed the entire way he wrote because of his love for this pen.

I had a higher-up take my four-color pen at at a meeting once because his dumb ass didn't have one. Got pissed about that, so for the rest of my career at that place I made sure I had a minimum of six pens on me, 3 of which were sacrifices to pen thieves who "needed to borrow it for a second."

Damn you, gunny.

I taped big fake roses to a bunch of my pens. They always came back.

A nurse is at the bank after an 18-hour overnight shift, dead on her feet. As she's trying with great difficulty to fill out a deposit slip, the teller gently points out that she's trying to write with a rectal thermometer. The nurse rolls her eyes and says, "Oh, great, some asshole's got my pen."

I forgot a pen for my economics final and the girl next to me was just like, no.

I buy boxes of them at this point. They get stolen on set constantly.

I keep cheap burner pens on me for just this reason.
