Today's Peeve Of The Day,Wednesday 11th January. (how many, furniture, kids)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

Thanks to all for the great response to yesterday's peeve.

I'm fairly peeveless today. I've just received a cheque (check) in the post, had a lovely meal out with colleagues yesterday and am ahead in the jobs I need to do.

Hang on- I just had to grab a pen and there was one just where I put them.

But how often have you gone for the pen and it's not where it should be, or-and this hacks me off- it isn't working?

I have seen people find that a (disposable) pen isn't working and put it back in the same place.

Today's peeve;

Pen not where it should be, or a dud one left out.

HAHA! We had tons of pens in a coffee can on the bar, and now they are ALL GONE! Mysterious!

I think all my kids hate me for the tongue lashing they got for all my missing pens!

I went through 6 pens yesterday and finally found one that worked. I tossed the non-working pens in the recycler.
You know that you can revive some of the old pens. No, not with mouth to mouth...they don't have mouths, silly. Light a match to the bottom of the pen, where the ink comes out, for a few seconds. And if it's not solid concrete in there yet, it will work again. If not, toss it.

Good one! Never fails, a desk full of pens and you always seem to grab the one thats all dried out or doesnt work right when you need it. WTH????

Pens and cats.

When I need a pen, more often than not, I end up down on my hands and knees looking under the furniture.

FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this Jezer!!!

I can NEVER find a pen when I need one! I resort to crayons or markers that the kids have around! LOL...........never fails!

I have pencil caddies in 3 rooms FILLED with pens (also scissors). I carry 2 pens in my purse (plus scissors) and I have my cheater glasses and magnifying glasses right next to the pencil caddies.

So if one pen doesn't work, I toss it and go to the next one.

Or duds put back in the drawer! If they don't write, throw them out!!!

Huge peeve of mine - one time at the Boquete office I needed one real quick and I swear I grabbed at least 4 in a row that didn't work before I found one that did. I wasn't at my desk and I have no clue why the person with all the bad pens didn't just toss them After I finished with what I was doing I spent a while going through all the pens and tossing the bad ones. I couldn't believe how many I ended up throwing in the trash because they didn't work
