should promptly be removed from the building, taken to a chemical plant, and be turned into a lab rat, only after they are skinned from the knees down and dipped in vinegar.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

its never just a pen. i have shitty handwriting and need the fine points. it was a cross pen my father gave me and someone else's secretary lost it, when i know she was the only other person in the office yesterday after we all left. CVNT, she denied ganking it, but now seems to be searching the desks for something.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

[font=Tahoma][color=silver]why is it that its a fairly accepted problem. people can't steal other stuff and get away with it. I think the bic people are subconsciously programing us to steal cheap pens and lighters so we would buy more. what else could it be.[/color][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=wheat]Did you bring it in from home? If not, that is a COMPANY pen, and as such, you cannot claim ownership of it. In fact, I suspect your company may not be pleased to hear that you have been negligent in your caretaking of their property. Your supervisor should forward this to HR, who will put it in your permanent file, and then pass it along to accounting, who should bill you. Next time, be a little more careful.[/color][/size][/font]

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

pens are a hot commodity at work too and I am very possessive of the ones I have. Lately I'm having the misfortune of pens dying on me, hahaha.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

It is the pen that my employer has given to me until its untimely demise when its ink runs out therefore it has been asked to cater to my needs until it is no longer working just like my missus.:lol:

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

If it is on [b]your[/b] desk it is yours to use and if someone wants to [b]borrow[/b] it they should [size=4][b]ASK[/b][/size] first and return. I always ask and always return because it is what is right. Talk about ethics pens should be discussed. I hate people that steal things that are obviously mine. I can tolerate a little white lie but I cannot tolerate someone that steals, cheats or says they will return a borrowed item and never do, becuase that is stealing.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

I used to have to get my boss a handful of pens in the morning when we ran out so he could chew them down to nothing during the day. (we traded NASDAQ stocks - very stressful) He was known a Chewie throughout the office.

If you want my opinion, for real, if it is on [B]your[/B] desk it is yours to use and if someone wants to [B]borrow[/B] it they should [SIZE=4][B]ASK[/B][/SIZE] first and return. I always ask and always return because it is what is right. Talk about ethics pens should be discussed. I hate people that steal things that are obviously mine. This is my opinion and I have given this a lot of though.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

i used to hate that.. it got to the point where i always held my pen in my hand cause people would steal it & get me sick somehow. the germ patrol was in full affect, we made a list of people who acted as if they had better things to do that wash with soap or at least get their hands wet after shakin their snake. seein that shit led me forma list & keep an eye on my pens.

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

exactly, pens are pens, but these things are personal proerty that have meaning.

#484901Post 34 of 47

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

i refuse to lend anyone a pen at work. it solves the problem! also, i never leave a pen or anything i don't want taken on my desk when i am not there.

if someone asks to borrow a pen, i just say no!

I've got one guy here that flosses his teeth at his desk, cuts his nails. I've even seen him come out of the bathroom without washing his hands.

#485154Post 36 of 47

Re: ppl who steal your pens at work.............

:lol: what about those people that only get their hands wet? there used to be a guy at work that would piss, put his one hand (or only few fingers of the one hand) under the sink until they got wet (wouldn't scrub or apply soap), and flick it dry.

:CrackUp:

Why bother.
