Ink Pen Mayhem

Do I need to wear shirts with pockets?  No. Do I need a pocket protector for my ink pen. No. Will an ink pen suddenly turn into an ink ninja, blasting ink in a 360 degree circle?  No.  Should I place the cap back on an ink pen or click its button up?  No.

Do you cap and click pens beside a sign-in sheet or in a multiple-user work place because you're trying to impress me?  You're not.  Do you think you're saving the environment by keeping the ink of the world from drying out?  You're not -- the pen will run out of ink first.  Do you recap the pen in the bank drive-thru's tube because you think the ink will get on something?  No, it lays sideways in the tube.  Instead, you're hurting the arthritic person who has trouble removing the cap.

I write with my pen. That's what most folks do with their pens.  Please don't add unnecessary actions to my day.  Please don't force me to uncap or click a pen when there's no need to do so.  Please don't force me to shake some sense into you. 

Use your brain.  Save someone's sanity. Leave the pen ready to use. Stop capping and clicking.
