Does it bother you when someone helps themselves to something off your desk?

I am fighting a cold and have a bag of throat lozenges open on my desk. A co-worker came into my office to ask me something and just helped herself. If she'd said something, I would've offered her one and probably would have done so anyway but she just reached in and took one. That bugs me.

1. Pens

I'm picky about pens and typically only have 1 or 2 (excluding highlighters and Sharpies).

So, when one of them walks off suddenly I got nothing to write with. Usually I realize it when I'm on the phone and have to take down a number and start umm-ing and ahh-ing as the pointless search begins.

2. I'm picky too

And I hide my pens so no one can take one. I buy my own and bring them to the office.

3. pens for me

Offices buy cheap cr@ppy pens that are no fun to write with so I buy my own. If my pet pen is gone, I become pretty non-functional until I find it. I make sure I have other pens around so I never have to hand anyone my pet pen.

I am such a weirdo. You can take my hiliters, my stickys, my scissors even (well, for a WHILE) and I'll be okay, just don't mess with my PEN!!!
