Kinda, I can't leave pens lying around but I don't use them and give them to people in pen-need because I am a snob when it comes to pens

I picked up stationary if left on the floor or on a desk with no signs of human activity near it. That was in school where people kept shifting class rooms every 50 mins. I highly doubt anyone would panic and search the places where they were last if a pen went missing or a pencil. In less it's one of those special ones that could have sentimental value.

However, I did find in school people would ask to borrow pens and pencils... and never give them back. Even teachers. I can understand forgetting, but you're HOLDING something that belongs to someone else. You'd have thought you'd be constantly aware that you're holding it.

Those people can burn for I care. I don't like my good nature being abused.

You would't steal a car.

You wouldn't steal a handbag.

Pencil theft finances people trafficking and terrorism and drives up pencil prices for honest citizens.

You monsters.

My motto is take a pencil leave a pencil. If I see a lost one I take it, because I know I'm going to lose mine sooner or later and it will continue the cycle.

This thread has actually given me an idea...

I do believe it would be rather funny to venture into Argos and "remove" all the pencils from the store - Just seeing everyone wandering between stools asking for a pencil would awake some evil, bad and trollish part of me.

When I was in middle school I stayed late after school, waiting for my mom to pick me up. I went into the gym where all the students would hang out before classes started and I saw a 2 huge piles of paper, the biggest one being blank paper. Next to it was a pile of working pens.
That basically traumatized me, seeing how wasteful everyone was. I take paper/pens/pencils if I see they were abandoned, and if I can, I give them back to the people who left them.

I have a cabinet full of paper,pens,pencils,binders, I have no back to school shopping when it comes to supplies.

Never on purpose. I'm sure there's been a time or two that I've been filling paperwork out at some place and accidentally walked off with a pen/pencil.

I always keep a supply of quality Ticonderoga pencils, and avoid those cheap ones that people tend to have a lot of.
Back in middle school I would occasionally, but mainly just if they happened to be on the floor as I was passing by.

It's so much better to be prepared, though.

IT WAS YOU!

I lost entire pencil-cases worth off stuff during my primary- and high-school years. All this time I wondered what kind of prick would make off with something so worthless; a theft that does nothing but inconvenience the victim.

Now I know. It's people who think that kind of asshattery is just a bit of harmless fun!

GIVE ME BACK MY PENCILS!

I accidentally take pens all the time. No one ever sees them again, since they get lost in the maze of junk called my car's glove compartment.

I used to do this with loose change in my teenaged years. Nabbed absolutely any I saw and threw it in a bowl in my dresser drawer.

yep, I smuggle them out in my butt. I'm part of a whole pencil racket. We control 40% of the world's pencils. You want pencils I can hook you up as long as you don't mind the smell.

I steal them when people from an earlier period leave them in class on occasion. I usually have enough pencils of my own in school to get by, though, so it's not something I regularly do.
