Do you always carry a pen with you?

Hi Eileen, Yes, I always have a couple of pens in my purse. I am a pen person and I might let someone borrow it but I watch it to make sure I get it back. I compare them more to lighters than toothbrushes. They are just too easy to absentmindedly pocket. As for the President of Czech Republic pocketing that pen, I saw that on the news and the big deal they made of it as if he was stealing. It was my understanding that those pens are theirs anyway so he was in essence stealing his own pen.

yes, I always carry pen of others for I always forget to return it right after using.

I should. I carry a pen when I need to go to an important meeting (not really work related). It also depends on where u go to. If you go shopping, buy groceries, to the movies, or doing something social, people typically could care less about bringing a pen. It is still useful in case if you pay with credit card or something, but usually there's always pen in stores, restaurants, and other public places. Many people usually don't have the habit of jotting down ideas. It tells me how wise this Czech president could be, yet he is being criticized for something that many people don't do. He is being criticized for a specific habit that is beneficial for many of us at a particular time. Many of us tend to criticize certain people for certain habits that seem insignificant, but is very useful. If I want to jot down ideas, I use Notepad or Wordpad on my computer. Maybe I am lazy looking for a piece of paper, but at least I can save what I need to note down on my computer.

I do carry a pen and a note book all the while. It is very useful to carry a pen along so that, I can note down whatever I want to. When I were waiting for someone, I should take out my note book and my pen to start noting down whatever I planned to do. With a pen, I can note down the important information when I saw it in the newspapers, signboard, magazine and so on no matter where I am. I am really uncomfortable without a pen and a note book with me.

I have watched the news awhile ago about the Czech President pocketing a pen. All of my bags that regularly used have permanent pen inside, I always carry a pen and a notebook too. And of course, hanky is always present in my bag.

I always carry a pen. It is very useful to have one in your bag. If you are going to make a list, answer some surveys, or when you are going to the bank. I prefer to use my special pen always.

Yes, I always carry a pen in my purse. In fact, I have about 4 or 5 pens in there. lol I taught Sunday school the other Sunday and had to let a parent use my pen to fill out a form and he never gave it back. So I guess he pocketed my pen. lol It was just a cheap pen but if it had been a good pen I might have went looking for him to ask for my pen back.

I do. I learned from experiences that it is always handy to bring a pen, you never know when you need it, and i always make it a point my pen is black, i do not use other color but black. hahaha I always have it in my bag. Oftentimes when i am asked to go to agencies like SSS or pag-ibig, there are really things that are needed like to sign or to fill up something. They do have pens available there for use but often times there are so many people using it and i really find bringing one useful plus the ink is fine. hahaha

I carry at least one in my purse and sometimes two. I used to carry my checkbook and needed a pen to write checks. I don't do that anymore but having a pen is still ideal. My ex used to always be asking me for a pen. He always gave it back though. It has come in handy many, many times.

Really?is the news really true?Well I guess they just make the issue so huge and exaggerated.Yes I also do carry my pen everywhere because am fun of writing when something interested captivated me also when playing a puzzle like what you did.Sometimes pen is necessary to bring because we need to sign this and sign that.

I wouldn't blame the President of Czech republic for pocketing somebody else's pen because I might as well have done the same thing if I had no pen in my pocket and borrowed it from some body else. I am so used to my pen in my pocket that as soon as I finish writing I will put the pen in my pocket. For some reason if I forget to put the pen in my pocket I get irritated because I hate to borrow it from some body else. It is so integral part of my shirt.

That is funny no wonder I noticed banks or any other establishments that needs you to jot down something or filling up of slips their pens are tied to a little hook or stand to avoid honest penlifting.hahha As a teacher my back pack is always full fo Pencils and Pens including my Gateway Laptop, smart bro, cap, my umbrella and my mobile phone.

I would have to say that I do not always carry a pen. Even though there comes times when I do need a pen. Which maybe I should start carrying one.

I try my best to always have a pen with me in my purse. Usually the few times I forget i usually regret it cause those are the times when I need it.

I used to always carry a pen with me, but now I seldom do. There have been plenty of times that I wished I had one when I didn't, like when I was at a border and needed to fill out a form so I could pass through. I would have to wait until I saw someone filling out a form because I didn't. Ever since I stopped going to school, I didn't carry a pen all the time. Since now I attend online classes, I don't need to write anything so I don't bother. Thanks for bringing this up!

I have a pen with me as long as I have my purse with me. I don't really like carrying a purse, but it has all the necessities. My husband always carries a pen with him too, so if I don't have one, he does. I feel sorry for the president of the Czech Republic. I don't think he actively meant to steal the pen, but he is sure getting some slack for it!

I'm too. A pen is useful for us everyday. I used to lend a pen for many people at post office, bank or comitee etc...

Well I usually carry a pen with me.Im a writer so i do like to quickly write down something that inspired me before i forget about it.

That reminds me, I just finished watching the video of the Czech Republic president! It was sort of hilarious because of the musical score. Well anyway, as a student, I always bring a pen with me. But just a single one. If the pen I have is lost, I would have to become like one of the students that always abuse the rights of others of borrowing their pen, which I really hate because I tend to be forgetful at times.

hehe couldnt agree more :) I carry pens all the time... Black pens, blue pens, red pens, highlight pens, markers, signpens (.05 and .08).. call it a habit! :) whenever I am playing assistant to my boss, I find having pens real handy. He's the total opposite, he doesnt bring a single pen!
