Throughout my life I have had odd experiences when borrowing pencils...

Fair enough, a dime then? It's the principle, more than the actually monetary worth.

Buying pencils to provide others with it would count as extremely annoying. So that's out. That means that if you can find or get more pencils than you lose on borrowing it's ok. If you don't, then there's a problem.

Also remember that the ones that have multiple pencils are either a bit more orderly (since they don't lose pencils normally and prefer to have spares) or are losing pencils themself (thus being at risk with only 1 pencil left).

Beware, next time you borrow a pencil....because some people love theirs enough to write songs about it.....

At work, whenever I expect new pens I make sure to bake some hot chili the night before. Lotsa beans and onions. Then when the new shipment of pens arrives I take them all to the bathroom and dip the pens in my you-know-where.

I don't do this on purpose, it's just that I stick them in my mouth if I have them for longer than let's say 15 minutes.
