I hate it when people ask for pens and pencils and never give them back or take pens and pencils without asking and pretend it's theirs then say it's mine when I ask about it.
My coworker said she'll never ask to borrow a pen from me again after it became a 20 Questions game. 😬 "Of course you can borrow a pen! What ink color? Do you have a tip size preference? What kind of paper are you writing on? What do you mean "just normal paper"??? Do you want waterproof i- what do you mean you'll just find a Bic from the back? ...what kind of Bic pens we got back there? 👀"
I kind of have pens I loan out based on how much I trust a person. I have Bic Round Stics for anyone, Pilot Precise V5s for people I know, and only the people I trust with my life can borrow my personal pen.
I keep my best of the best hidden. If I buy pens I don’t like, my family can use them when they come over. I know my family has a bad habit of leaving pens to dry
Something that I never do and hate when others do it is bending/breaking the clips on pens and mechanical pencils. It bothers me, even more when they do it with a pen they borrowed from me.
You forgot: - Stationary nerds NEVER leave home without a notebook and pen/pencil (what if we have to write down the pythagorean theorem??) - Stationary nerds NEVER settles for just one pen. No spend month who?? But but I NEED it!!! Love your videos!
Love it, Never leave home without a notebook, maybe several, and yes several pens/pencils. What if you don't happen to like a particular pen on a certain day?
When we were working in the office, I had a special cup of pens that were for people to borrow. I also took a couple to meetings. People would ruin a good pen, say it doesn't work, steal it, or do bad things with it....like putting it in their mouth.

The absolute worst thing for me is when you let someone use a retractable pen and they start clicking it like crazy. i'll snatch it back right away and tell them they've lost their pen privileges.
Borrow my fountain pen?!? Hard. No. Only if you already know how to use them and we are currently having a discussion about different pens/nibs. If you are a newbie, wait until I go get a Preppy or Varsity for you to try.
I bought some pens once that came with a free mechanical pencil, and that made the best loaner pencil. It was half-sized (about the size of the Pilot Petit when capped) and so it was uncomfortable to write with unless you had the tiniest hands. In a pinch, like needing to take notes in class, it was better than nothing but nobody ever tried to keep it.
When I was going to high school, I eventually stopped bringing more than one pen to stop borrowers. And i actually use the eraser of my mechanical pencil when drawing... while I have my eraser next to me
Yep. I told my niece when she goes to high school keep your pencil case and pen case lean. Get a small case and carry few supplies, only what you need.
Reading these comments made me remember this: My husband won't borrow my pens/pencils bec he knows how crazy I get if anything happens to them. So I keep a pretty cup on my kitchen table with pens, pencils, and markers he can use, lol. Thanks for this video...it's so good to know I'm not a lone stationary nerd.👍🏻
I felt number 6 - I absolutely never use the erasers on mechanical pencils :'D And I always carry around an eraser so I won't have to use it in an emergency either. I have had a couple of instances when people have used my beautiful unused eraser because I lent them my pencil for just a bit.
The Tūl mechanical pencils from Office Depot/Office Max has a pretty long sized eraser that you can buy refills for and erases graphite/pencil marks really well without tearing the paper no matter how cheap the paper is. I haven’t found a need to bring an extra eraser.
Oh~ the bitting on a pen/pencil catches me every single time. It makes me sick. Why would anyone do it? Whyyyyyyyyyy? I often go around checking everyone's stationery in order to identify who are the pen chewers and when they ask to lend one of mine, I always have some Bic pens for this sole purpose.
Some people don't realize they are doing it though due to anxiety, tics, adhd, or add. I have caught myself doing it but only because my add or anxiety gets to bad
My step father worked in a primary school, and would constantly have pens ‘borrowed’ when he wasn’t around, he started to dip the cap and pen end into a clear nail polish that stops people biting their nails. Quickly people stopped‘borrowing’ his pens.
Yeah, I learned not to chew pens while working in healthcare. It’s like “how many germs are you putting in your mouth? And what body part did they come off/out of?” NOPE!
The "big brands" (where I have a lot) have their own plastic box. - None-branded and those brands I only have a few from are put together. Pencils, mec.pencils, fineliners, highlighter, ... I even have a special box for all my gold&silver :)
I have 4 different pencil cases 😳 one for my every day pens and my microns, one for my Crayola and paper mate flair markers, one for miscellaneous things like scissors and glue and one with my brush markers 😅
I have seven different cases/penrolls for different purpose. Case 1 for highlighters. Case 2 for colour gel pens. Case 3 is a compact one with a little bit of everything for everyday carrying. Case 4 by itself is a limited edition anime merch and I only store my anime pens in it (that I will probably never use because I bought them only for the collection, and they don't write as well as my other brand pens). Case 5 is a big one where I store my sketch/lineart supplies. Number 6 is a rickshaw deluxe penroll where I store my limited edition pens/pencils that I'll actually use (including some collaboration pens between anime and stationary brands). Number 7 is a worn out old penroll I bought at college and I fill it with some old cute pens the younger me got from some small dim local stores nearby my school. They don't write anymore, but everything I keep has a somewhat unique design and is nostalgia to me.
Just got my shipment from you guys! I LOVED everything! Already eyeing my wishlist again. Also, I got my dad hooked on your stuff. I didn't even know he was as much of a stationary nerd as me! It was a fun bonding moment. Thanks so much :D
The other day I let my friends borrow one of my SPARE pens and when she handed it back the whole of the plastic lid was bent and tilt it look like it had just came out from ww2 and even though it was only a BIC cyrystal ball I was praying for the pen inside!
The pressure thing is such a big deal in the fountain pen hobby... Something you missed is not returning a borrowed item! That's the WORST when you realize afterwards. Another thing I've found is people over-hyping bad paper...like, a $2 marble composition notebook isn't even at the same level as Rhodia or Tomoe River.
@@samwilson7898 It was a Korean brand with a 0.5 Fine tip in black. I used it to create tight lines on worksheets. It photocopied nice and clear.😢 I never had to struggle with it when sliding it along my ruler.
Oh God this reminds me of the time I lent someone a ballpoint pen and they returned it with bite marks. I was clever enough to have lent a crappy giveaway pen I let the person keep. Ew.
Going off the perforated line on notebooks. Or letting the fringe stay on the paper. I literally had a 3 teachers in high school that took 10% off your assignment if you left the fringe on the papers.
@@LaLa_ArtGal Because my friend wanted to have a go at one? Luckily it was a cheap one (5 dollars) but it still hurt... It looks like a bent nib FP now lol. And even if I try to use it as one, the ink barely goes out half of the time. Lesson learned.
@@jacklynn.7150 When my daughter went to school in Germany, the required student pen was a Lamy fountain pen, and she brought one home for me. She emphasized that it is NEVER to be a loaner pen, because everyone has a different grasp and pressure pattern. I checked that out at the high-end fountain pen counter of an independent stationery store and was told exactly the same thing. So when my husband bought me a fountain pen last Christmas, he was disappointed that I wouldn't let him try it even a little; but he's heavy-handed, and I have now learned better! 😉
@@LaLa_ArtGal That's definitely good advice! I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I'll add a throwaway Platinum Preppy to anyone who wants to try my fountain pens!
Stress induced death grip on gel pens was the cause I switched to fountain pens. Now I'm very concious about not pressing too hard bc I don't want to damage the nib in my precious pen and the more relaxed writing style causes my body to calm down and helps me with overcoming anxiety 😊
Great ideas. I started buying note books with less sheets in them so that I can use up one in a month or so. If there are a few pages left over, I can either leave them for later updates or remove them for use in a folder with a spring clip that will hold odd sizes together. I love the idea of sharing so others can try the many papers you have on your site.
I sometimes used my pencils as hair sticks when I was younger. Nowadays I never go anywhere without spare hair clips and I'm more likely to reach for a crochet hook or dpn to control my hair if I'm desperate. And I always carry pens I'm prepared to lend to friends or strangers should the need arise.
I’m a stationery addict and I agree with everything! Love fountain pwns, gel pens, roller balls, mechanical pencils and I’ve spent a lot of money on curating an astounding collection. I still have a pearly zebra espina that I’ve kept for over 20+ years since I was in high school. sadly can’t buy the refills anymore, there’s still ink in the pen…. So I’ll manage,
That's a good one! Holding on to a pen/ pencil for super long periods of time cause its THE ONE. I have a random mechanical pencil that I FOUND 10 years ago. I didn't even purchase the thing and I still covet it. I've never seen one in a store I think it's a goner now. The only sad part is that now I like finer leads so it's a little thick now, but its become sentimental at this point.
I hate it when people think I'm crazy for being so specific about what I write with. "Just use any pen!" NO! IT'S NOT THE SAME!! Get that low quality ink, flexible plastic barrel out of here!!
I'm totally a stationary nerd LOL and it really boils my blood when they borrow my eraser and use the sharp edge which I saved for emergency. urgh the audacityyyyyy
Special educator tip: they make pen toppers that are designed for chewers! They keep the pen out of the person’s mouth, keeping them safe from any pieces that may break off, plus they’re easier to clean. They come in different textures, too. Highly recommend for someone that chews their pens.
You did miss one, that has happened to me and made me absolutely gutted and heartbroken. I lent one of my most favourite mechanical pencils (I didn't have a spare with me) to a classmate who destroyed the clip on it. So now I can't attach it to the page or my pocket or anywhere. Because the clip is just a hard plastic nub now..... :'( It was relatively new too, only had it for 4 months. When I was younger I would chew on the pens, because I was always hungry. But I grew out of it. I will hold a pen in my mouth if I have nowhere else to put it and I am the owner of the pen. But I've stopped biting and chewing, it's better to go have an apple if they are so hungry they think plastic and wood tastes good.
In my office i have an entire cilindrical pen holder in the right corner of my desk full of bic crystal (we get them for free in my workplace), promotional free pens and random junk pencils. So my coworkers use that if they need to come to me and write something or borrow one. When i did not had this decoy they used to take things from the drawers where i kept my good stuff.
I've seen the opposite of over hyping a pen, under hyping a pen when it doesn't perform to its full potential on cheap paper/less than ideal conditions. Once had a friend straight up say my fountain pen was the worst pen he ever wrote with when he used it on the cheapest notebook he had and it, obviously, bled and feathered like duck season.
I'm horrendously guilty of chewing the end of my pens. I don't even realise I've started. Best way to avoid it I've found is putting the pen down when not actively writing. Which leads into the wonderful world of pretty pen holders.
late response but you can get stim toy chew guards for pens made of food safe silicone! they aren't the most aesthetic but if you're stressed and find it happening too much they are an option
In high school I wrote with mechanical pencils, and I had a problem with people not returning my nice pencils. That all stopped when I started giving them my pink flower dollar-store wooden pencil with the cheap erasers. They always gave me that pencil back 😂.
I work with the general public. I keep a supply of crappy but useable workplace-provided pens to hand at all times. Even the BIC 4in1 that lives on my work lanyard does not deserve to be subjected to the kind of disrespect some people are capable of.
I even print 1/2 inch labels to put my name on my pens at work because I buy them myself. I will literally hunt down my pens -- and you can't deny it's mine when my name is wrapped around the barrel! 🖊️✍️ 😁
A lot of ballpoint, gel, and rollerball pens are refillable! For example, the Zebra Sarasa Clip Gel Pen is refillable, you can see all the refills here: www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Sarasa-Clip-Gel-Pen-0.5-mm-28-Color-Bundle/pd/13459/refills
It's completely true....I get frustrated even if someone says that your stationery is over rated...we have this in this less amount and then it's copy 😒 And if someone eat my pen and or pencil he really have a bad day after it 🤣
The “losing your favorite pen part hit hard- Let’s have a moment of silence for my Tombow Mono graph shaker pen.. It was mint green too, my favorite color :(
Oh god when I saw the pen chewing it reminded me of when I was in 8th grade (I’ve always been a stationery aficionado, and all my classmates knew it) in math class, this girl that sat right next to me (we were seated in tables not separate desks) asked to borrow a pen and so I gave her one of my pens (not the best one of course but it was still the pilot G2 pen) at the beginning of class and literally during the whole class I saw her chewing on MY pen during lecture and I was staring daggers at her. Then at the end of class she had the AUDACITY to return my pen all chewed at the click part!!! I told her to keep it and I vowed never to lend out any pens to people I do not trust ever. One time in college during biology we had to do a drawing assignment and I always brought my color pack of pens and some girl saw me take it out and asked to borrow and I did not want to lend it to her but I didn’t want to be rude so I told her to be careful with it and I lent her one color. Oh god I know it’s just stationery but as a student it was literally my whole world lol now as a working adult I have not needed to use any writing utensils in a long time haha
Even my ex husband wasn’t allowed near my favorite pens. Not even writing with them because he broke many of them! My boyfriend knows how to handle my precious pens but he would never take one without asking. „In God I trust. Everyone else takes their own pen!“
I... never realized this was a universal thing for stationary nerds. I feel so much better for young me now lmaoooo But all this is exactly why i carried cheap ass pens to let people borrow when they asked. (Because 99% of the time i never got them back.)
there were some pens that i absolutely hated (only during the time when i ONLY used capped ballpoint pens), i would chew the backside to make a hole, take a rubber band and tie it around the pen barrel to create a mini screenshot.
Are there any that we missed? Give this video a like and comment below to let us know!
Narration was awesome
😆😆
Missing the people who break the clips off
Pen chewers!!! I had a class project with a guy who would chew through an entire box of pens in a few days. Did he ever bring his own pens? No.

Something you missed is not returning a borrowed item! That's the WORST when you realize afterwards.
Another thing I've found is people over-hyping bad paper...like, a $2 marble composition notebook isn't even at the same level as Rhodia or Tomoe River.
Yes! Bad paper is just bad paper. A good pen can’t fix that,
@@nanschifris8734 Bad paper is good for cleaning your fountain pen 😉
Try explaining how much good stationery cost to people who write with cheap stuff why the difference is night and day.. they STILL won’t get it.
@@nanschifris8734 Iron gall ink writes well on most paper.
Not even 30 seconds in and I'm already being called out! New record!
My son is laughing at me being slightly triggered by this. Think I'll climb aboard that catapult too. Lol
A co-worker BROKE my pen right in front of me! I almost died! I wasn't right for the rest of the day.
@@samwilson7898 It was a Korean brand with a 0.5 Fine tip in black. I used it to create tight lines on worksheets. It photocopied nice and clear.😢 I never had to struggle with it when sliding it along my ruler.
I hope they won’t find your coworker where you buried him/her. 🤪 Just kidding!
@@karleneb1263 Tell your defense lawyer to make sure there's one pen nerd on the jury and you won't be convicted.
Oh God this reminds me of the time I lent someone a ballpoint pen and they returned it with bite marks. I was clever enough to have lent a crappy giveaway pen I let the person keep. Ew.
Shitty disposable pens like the Bic Round Stic exist for a reason people.
@@tjenadonn6158 exactly! One time I forgot my pencil case, I asked my friend and she gave me a bic round-stic 😂 she let me keep it
@@tjenadonn6158 in fact I still have that bic round stic that she gave me
When you leave your Tombow marker uncovered for a few minutes and you realize… You feel like you're going to have a heart attack.
8. They do not "not" segregate pens by brand, tip size, series/line, color after use. 😂
Not all stationery lovers are OCD though
Y’all are posting twice a week now? THANK YOU YOUR VIDEOS JUST ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY BETTER. That’s how much I love stationery:)
Ripping pages out instead of neatly tearing or using a blade..
Going off the perforated line on notebooks. Or letting the fringe stay on the paper. I literally had a 3 teachers in high school that took 10% off your assignment if you left the fringe on the papers.
I hate it when people use your PERFECTLY tuned fountain pen, and misalign the tines because they use straight up!!!
Why would you lend out your fountain pen??? 😱
@@LaLa_ArtGal Because my friend wanted to have a go at one? Luckily it was a cheap one (5 dollars) but it still hurt... It looks like a bent nib FP now lol. And even if I try to use it as one, the ink barely goes out half of the time. Lesson learned.
@@jacklynn.7150 When my daughter went to school in Germany, the required student pen was a Lamy fountain pen, and she brought one home for me. She emphasized that it is NEVER to be a loaner pen, because everyone has a different grasp and pressure pattern. I checked that out at the high-end fountain pen counter of an independent stationery store and was told exactly the same thing.
So when my husband bought me a fountain pen last Christmas, he was disappointed that I wouldn't let him try it even a little; but he's heavy-handed, and I have now learned better! 😉
@@LaLa_ArtGal That's definitely good advice! I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I'll add a throwaway Platinum Preppy to anyone who wants to try my fountain pens!
@@jacklynn.7150 What a good idea!
Throwing pens. People have thrown pens and mechanical pencils at me or onto my desk when returning them. ➰🖋😱
love these videos with steph and josh! i need MORE
I’ve never seen anyone push all their stuff into their bag like that before. You’ve got to be a real Neanderthal to do that.
Putting the pen tip in their ear like a q-tip. I had a boss who used to do this with my pens at my desk whenever he was in “thinking” mode.
😫😠
🤮🤢
😵🤮
Your comment made me laugh out loud. I hope you gave him an earful. Oh nope. Your boss
@@Carolee-nf2ud Yep
Stress induced death grip on gel pens was the cause I switched to fountain pens. Now I'm very concious about not pressing too hard bc I don't want to damage the nib in my precious pen and the more relaxed writing style causes my body to calm down and helps me with overcoming anxiety 😊
I really just wanna be best friends with Stephanie and Josh honestly
Great ideas. I started buying note books with less sheets in them so that I can use up one in a month or so. If there are a few pages left over, I can either leave them for later updates or remove them for use in a folder with a spring clip that will hold odd sizes together. I love the idea of sharing so others can try the many papers you have on your site.
Just now after watching this video I came to know that I am a stationary nerd 😂😂
Yep loving stationary is a lifestyle !!
I loved this video. I am a stationery nerd myself. I love them more than my life so I could actually relate to it.🖋✒❤
I sometimes used my pencils as hair sticks when I was younger. Nowadays I never go anywhere without spare hair clips and I'm more likely to reach for a crochet hook or dpn to control my hair if I'm desperate. And I always carry pens I'm prepared to lend to friends or strangers should the need arise.
#2 - only when someone else is pressing too hard while using MY pens.
2:20 "Five, borrowing without asking"
MY HEART RATE JUST SHOT UP, I KID YOU NOT 😂😂
When they know the highlighters smudge the pen and keep using it 😩😩 and the highlighter gets discoloured
Oof.
Simulated Stationary Nerd Reactions, the best thing I have seen in a long time! :D
I’m a stationery addict and I agree with everything!
Love fountain pwns, gel pens, roller balls, mechanical pencils and I’ve spent a lot of money on curating an astounding collection. I still have a pearly zebra espina that I’ve kept for over 20+ years since I was in high school. sadly can’t buy the refills anymore, there’s still ink in the pen…. So I’ll manage,
That's a good one! Holding on to a pen/ pencil for super long periods of time cause its THE ONE. I have a random mechanical pencil that I FOUND 10 years ago. I didn't even purchase the thing and I still covet it. I've never seen one in a store I think it's a goner now. The only sad part is that now I like finer leads so it's a little thick now, but its become sentimental at this point.
Wow I'm so impressed you guys went to the extent of shooting josh and Stephanie separately in one scene to not be unmasked together! Bravo
That's so stupid.
I hate it when people think I'm crazy for being so specific about what I write with. "Just use any pen!" NO! IT'S NOT THE SAME!! Get that low quality ink, flexible plastic barrel out of here!!
I think this may be the most fun video in a long time
Doctor: Reverse Josh can not hurt you. It is not real.
Reverse Josh w/ cap suddenly shows up.
The whole video was relatable on another level...
I'm totally a stationary nerd LOL and it really boils my blood when they borrow my eraser and use the sharp edge which I saved for emergency. urgh the audacityyyyyy
lol exactly
This video cracks me up! I can relate to too many situations shown here! 😂
Special educator tip: they make pen toppers that are designed for chewers! They keep the pen out of the person’s mouth, keeping them safe from any pieces that may break off, plus they’re easier to clean. They come in different textures, too. Highly recommend for someone that chews their pens.
I use retractable pens because I used to forget to cap a lot of the time. Not as much anymore but now I’m just use to them.
Before watching this video: 😐😑🥱🌧💤
After watching this video with Josh on it: 🤗🥰🌞🌟💖
Stephanie and Josh are so cute and funny! I love their videos!
Prediction: Stationery nerds winced at least once while watching this video!
It’s so refreshing to see there’s a whole group of us “weirdos” 😂
LOL When I was in highschool one of my classmates was chewing at his pen so hard that the ink deposit broke, smearing all the ink… into his mouth 😂
LMAO
i've been that kid...
You did miss one, that has happened to me and made me absolutely gutted and heartbroken. I lent one of my most favourite mechanical pencils (I didn't have a spare with me) to a classmate who destroyed the clip on it. So now I can't attach it to the page or my pocket or anywhere. Because the clip is just a hard plastic nub now..... :'( It was relatively new too, only had it for 4 months.
When I was younger I would chew on the pens, because I was always hungry. But I grew out of it. I will hold a pen in my mouth if I have nowhere else to put it and I am the owner of the pen. But I've stopped biting and chewing, it's better to go have an apple if they are so hungry they think plastic and wood tastes good.
What u missed:- A stationery nerd can never play with his pens
Depends
I sometimes play with my pens but I handle them carefully and only take them out on a carpet
Depends, a stationary nerd may have specific pens just for this purpose
I just love watching Josh!!!
I loved this video it was so funny and wholesome and true 😂
In my office i have an entire cilindrical pen holder in the right corner of my desk full of bic crystal (we get them for free in my workplace), promotional free pens and random junk pencils. So my coworkers use that if they need to come to me and write something or borrow one.
When i did not had this decoy they used to take things from the drawers where i kept my good stuff.
Someone once used my digital pen and CHEWED ON THAT!!! It was awful
🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one JetPens. Basically covered all. I keep a not so favorite pen in my pencil case, so anyone wants to borrow, that's the one they get!
I've seen the opposite of over hyping a pen, under hyping a pen when it doesn't perform to its full potential on cheap paper/less than ideal conditions. Once had a friend straight up say my fountain pen was the worst pen he ever wrote with when he used it on the cheapest notebook he had and it, obviously, bled and feathered like duck season.
I'm horrendously guilty of chewing the end of my pens. I don't even realise I've started. Best way to avoid it I've found is putting the pen down when not actively writing.
Which leads into the wonderful world of pretty pen holders.
late response but you can get stim toy chew guards for pens made of food safe silicone! they aren't the most aesthetic but if you're stressed and find it happening too much they are an option
This hurts me 💯😭
In high school I wrote with mechanical pencils, and I had a problem with people not returning my nice pencils. That all stopped when I started giving them my pink flower dollar-store wooden pencil with the cheap erasers. They always gave me that pencil back 😂.
anyone else keep a selection of lower quality pens and pencils to loan to people that you wouldn't miss if they didn't return? 😅
Guilty
I work with the general public. I keep a supply of crappy but useable workplace-provided pens to hand at all times. Even the BIC 4in1 that lives on my work lanyard does not deserve to be subjected to the kind of disrespect some people are capable of.
@@lizhart81 Me too. No one touches my Signo DX or my nicer fineliners but me. The customers can use the cheap ballpoints and Sharpies!
More Josh and Stefanie!! They're really funny.
Imagine getting a heart 💖 from jetpens ☺️😍❤️
I even print 1/2 inch labels to put my name on my pens at work because I buy them myself. I will literally hunt down my pens -- and you can't deny it's mine when my name is wrapped around the barrel! 🖊️✍️ 😁
Is there a pen that is not a fountain pen but can be refilled like that.
A lot of ballpoint, gel, and rollerball pens are refillable! For example, the Zebra Sarasa Clip Gel Pen is refillable, you can see all the refills here: www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Sarasa-Clip-Gel-Pen-0.5-mm-28-Color-Bundle/pd/13459/refills
I know J. Herbin have roller pens that work with fountain pen international cartridges but I don't know how good or bad they perform at all...
Helpful thank you
I never trust anyone who doesn't use a pencil case of some sort 😅😅
It's completely true....I get frustrated even if someone says that your stationery is over rated...we have this in this less amount and then it's copy 😒
And if someone eat my pen and or pencil he really have a bad day after it 🤣
You loan out a good pen and get a cheap pen back
As a nurse of course I do.
The “losing your favorite pen part hit hard-
Let’s have a moment of silence for my Tombow Mono graph shaker pen..
It was mint green too, my favorite color :(
R I P pen :( I had this favourite eraser which i had since forever! One day it got “borrowed” and never came back! TwT
@@oursevenlilcrackheads2889 noooo! That’s why you always get spare erasers for friends 😔
Oh god when I saw the pen chewing it reminded me of when I was in 8th grade (I’ve always been a stationery aficionado, and all my classmates knew it) in math class, this girl that sat right next to me (we were seated in tables not separate desks) asked to borrow a pen and so I gave her one of my pens (not the best one of course but it was still the pilot G2 pen) at the beginning of class and literally during the whole class I saw her chewing on MY pen during lecture and I was staring daggers at her. Then at the end of class she had the AUDACITY to return my pen all chewed at the click part!!! I told her to keep it and I vowed never to lend out any pens to people I do not trust ever. One time in college during biology we had to do a drawing assignment and I always brought my color pack of pens and some girl saw me take it out and asked to borrow and I did not want to lend it to her but I didn’t want to be rude so I told her to be careful with it and I lent her one color. Oh god I know it’s just stationery but as a student it was literally my whole world lol now as a working adult I have not needed to use any writing utensils in a long time haha
Even my ex husband wasn’t allowed near my favorite pens. Not even writing with them because he broke many of them! My boyfriend knows how to handle my precious pens but he would never take one without asking. „In God I trust. Everyone else takes their own pen!“
I didn't think I was a stationery nerd...
And then I experienced pain watching each one of these don'ts. 😂
I... never realized this was a universal thing for stationary nerds. I feel so much better for young me now lmaoooo
But all this is exactly why i carried cheap ass pens to let people borrow when they asked. (Because 99% of the time i never got them back.)
Never knew I was a stationery nerd... that explains why I go around putting caps on the pens that I find..
I'm starting to be a stationary addict as I got into fun ways to learn and process information in mind
This is my new fav video from you guys 😂 going to have nightmares about the chewing pen part! *Shudders*
there were some pens that i absolutely hated (only during the time when i ONLY used capped ballpoint pens), i would chew the backside to make a hole, take a rubber band and tie it around the pen barrel to create a mini screenshot.
Josh’s acting was ON POINT 👌
Loving the new content! 👍🏾
