Disposable pens: line up the cap, or no?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you put the cap back on disposable pens, and do you line up the clip with the text on the pen?

Me? Yes, and yes.

I eat pens with caps.

I didn't know they had words on them.

I keep the lids on but lining up? A hard no on that.

Theyneed to be lined up. Never bite my pens. All pens need to be stored nib downwards. Always replace caps and ensure they are shut properly.

OK, you guys do not have ADHD lol. ^

You keep pens all in one place?

What is this heresy?!

I usually put the cap back on, though sometimes I forget, and regret it for obvious reasons.
Don't bother with the alignment business, though I often pay attention to such things in other contexts, eg the arrangement of eggs in their boxes (try to make them symmetrical).

I always replace the lid.
Pens live in a specially made box in the top drawer of my desk.
I also have custom made boxes for my pencils, markers, highlighters and paint pens.
They must all face the same way inside the box.
I don't line up the lid with the writing.

I only use decent pens, kthnx.

Heathen so....

I have all mine in containers, cap on ( if they have one ), point down , clicked shut.
A girl at school swallowed one of the caps once when chewing on it.Not sure how she managed that.

My art supplies are collected together by type, but it's still rather haphazard.
I'm not even sure where those collections are at any given time.

My regular pens are all over the place.
Last week I had to dive under my car seats to find one.
I mostly found dead french fries from McDonald's.

It amazes me that people can be so organised and orderly.
My EF is a burning train wreck of big hot mess.

^ I usually treat objects well
Then totally neglect myself.
As long as my pens are lidded and arranged neatly,
it's ok to look and smell like a homeless person.
