I do not know what it is, but I seen to lose my pens everywhere.Seems everytime I look for a pen, they are nowhere in sight.When I look in my purse for a pen, there is no pen. I am always wondering where in the world all of my pens go to.No matter what room I am in and need a pen. I buy pens all the time. But What do I do with them? Do you have this problem?

I try to keep the amount of pens I own to a minimum. That way I'm forced to be careful where I place them. It's not flawless, and there's nothing worse than being hot on a topic and not finding a pen immediateley.

I also suffer from the same problem. I always buy pens and place them around the house in places I will most likely need them (next to the phone etc). The things is whenever I am on the phone and need a pen I cannot find one. I am completely in the dark about what happens to them and where they disappear to. All I know for sure is that I never find out and never seem to get the m back. I have decided to stop buying pens now, if I can never find them anyway, it seems silly to spend money just to lose more of them. Maybe when I move house I will find hundreds of them all in the same place and will take a box full of them to my next home, but I doubt it.

Well I am just like you,I place my pens everywhere also. Everyplace i think I will ever need them, but when I do, I have to run around looking for one.You are right, no need to buy anymore of the pens, they too will come up missing..I am sure you will find many when you move.

I have a huge collections of pens and it seems that as soon as i need one they all disappear! I have no clue how this happens. Maybe the pens sense that i need one of them and go off into hiding. I find it especially frustrating at the grocery store when I'm trying to cross things off my list!

Yeah I have this probelm I remember when I use to go to school I lost a lot of pens and pencils. And thats why I couldnt find a lot of them in my house when I really needed them. Also the pens that I did find were bad and ran out of ink from not putting the cover on them and having them go dry a lot of times. Also the pencils that I find the erassers were really bad which made it annoying to do homework.

Yes I have this problem too, when I go shopping I have in my bag my essentials which are my shopping list and a pen. I can guarantee that I will find the list, but not the pen!! At home I have pens everywhere, but when I want one none to be found. Mind you it does not help when my 6 year old boy has them to draw with because he never puts them back.

Don't you know about Pen Heaven. When you lose one it goes there with all the other pens. It is right next door to Sock Heaven and Lighter Heaven.

Haha... mr who always lost pen. You need to buy many packs of pens, color black and blue, or even the color pens. Hehe. Yeah, why not? You can put wherever you usually around. Near telephone, near toilet, two or three in dining room, three in living room, and maybe four in your bed room (you can use it to answer sudoku before go to sleep. hehe). Put also some in your bags... I think you will not have prob anymore. Gud luck!

Ha, ha, I took pens from all my friends, it was just habitual. I would call myself a pen collector. Now I dont do that any more, but I love to buy pens. If am out and some ask for a pen, I usually can get them one, right now I have about 4-5 pens in my hand bag. I just throw them in and leave them there; they always come in handy.
