A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Every really nice pen I have ever owned was because it somehow fell into my possession. I use them randomly sometimes as a special treat for myself. (lemmy.world)

I had a thieving boss like you one time. After a while I started to make sure after any meeting that everyone would get back the pens he had managed to get his grubby little mittens on.

Lol I was wondering if people thought I stole them! No they will be pens I find on the ground or other various ways, one of the ones I found in OP was at the beach. I have too much respect for the pleasure of a good pen to intentionally rob anyone of that lol.

You are doing good work protecting the pens! Your boss sounds really absent minded, like the lighter thieves I've known in my day haha.
