Don't FUCK with my pencils!

[KarmaComa]

When a math geek lends you his penultimate pencil during exams, do not fuck it up! Please realize that people like me are extremely particular about the kind of pencil we use: Bic, .7, 2B, WITHOUT A FUCKING LOPSIDED ERASER!

It's bad enough that I had to go hunting around your desk to find it, after searching my pseudocubicle high and low! The eraser's main surface now holds an angle of less than 2 radians to the axis of the pencil!

Please respect the fact that during exams, I work in 20 hour stretches, and this makes me particularly sensitive about having to adapt my modus operandi in any way!

*Furiously rubs eraser down to a decent angle before final begins*

Surely there are one or two geeks out there who appreciate my feelings!

Probably. But I bet they don't lend out their prize pencils.


:D

Well HB is acceptable for .7, but absolutely not .5!

And for chrissake, the pencil's got to have some give to it... not like those terrible Zebras.

"Wow, you've got your name on your pencils! Just like a pencil company executive!"

(grabbing it back) "Yes. Well, any office supply company can have them made up..."

"Can I have this one?"

"No."

"Can...Lenny have this one?"

[KarmaComa]

Oh no! I think I've been Grimed! :D

or, in the case of the eraser, "Ay, there's the rub..."

You're complaining about asymmetry?

I once had a co-worker who used the eraser-end of the pencils on my desk to clean her fucking ears. I had no idea what was going on, for a while.. the erasers just didn't seem to work until you rubbed them down a bit. Then I found a "fresh" one. Then I caught her in the act. Subhuman.

That being said, I only opened this thread because I was hoping it contained scenes of graphite sexuality.

Wouldn't that cause lead poisoning?

I recommend suitable punishment which may include but is not limited to the following:

- Cover them in burning pitch
- Boil the offender in hot oil
- Force him/her to listen to New Kids on the Block for 24 hours
- Request they be hung drawn and quartered asap

In the meantime learn from this valuable lesson and never lend your pencils again.

:D

Ugh... I swapped the eraser with a straight one from an old pencil... but it didn't help me! That was the hardest fucking exam I've ever written in my entire life.
