No one dares to do it because I go postal.
When I worked, I always brought my own pens to work because I am really picky about what I will write with. Everyone knew which pens were mine, and while they might use one of them once in a great while, they never, ever, dared to take one permanently. I remember once a woman patron at the library liked my pen so much that she put it in her purse (I had offered it to her so she could fill out a form, as there were no other pens handy where we were standing). I told her it was my pen, and she replied that if it was being used in a county government building, she considered it as belonging to the county, and thus, indirectly, to her. She said if I liked it so much, I should just get myself another one. I wasn't about to grab her bag and take it by force, so I just locked the gate, and she couldn't get out, which really ticked her off. She went to the branch manager to complain, and my boss, bless her heart, simply said, "Give her back her pen. I don't allow my staff to steal, and I certainly don't allow the public to steal from my staff."
So yeah, I get super annoyed, and I call people on it. There are plenty of things on which I am wishy-washy, but pens are serious business to me.

The last guy at the office who stole a pen from me walked away with TWO pens...one in his thieving little hand and the other jammed in his eye-socket!
He won't do THAT again!
Just kidding...but I've replayed that scenario in my head over and over...
Maybe I'll just bean him in the back of his head with a stapler next time.Yeah...that would totally rock!

I don't get mad about small things like that. There are plenty of pens in the world to go around. It is just a pen. That person must of really needed it or they just forgot to give it back.

i get reallllyy annoyed. im weird... i have a favorite pen and people always like to annoy me by stealing it or hiding or taking it apart. it reallly bugs me. when they do that i just laugh because it is kind of funny... but sometimes people take it too far. maybe im just being a little too sensitive. i mean really... i guess its just a pen.

So much really. In fact if a co-worker aproaches to my desk without a pen I'll not let him sit down.
