    Hey,

    I dont have a clue where to put this post so since it has partly to do with enterprise and business ill stick it here,... sorry if its in the wrong place ( can someone tell me where to put it if it is) !!

    Basically all i want to know is what brand of pen (typical cheap ball point pen) do you use and on average how long do you have them for,!

    Sounds like a stupid question but I'd appreciate
    if ye went along with it and answered it honestly ,!


    Since i can only post one poll can everyone please reply saying the following:

    1) what brand of pen you use

    2) how many weeks you would have each different colour pen
    (red would usually be used less than black and so would last longer)

    3) the average amount of time you would see (including when its just on the table infront of you) your pen for per working day.


    Cheers, all your comments are really appreciated everyone!

    P.s. would everyone be able to post there age aswell if they dont mind,..

    I use any pen available but it's very rare that I'd need one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭What? Oh Rly!


    1) Tesco 50 pack, worth about €2.50 - lasts years!!
    2) only use black I guess...
    3) I'd say all day really, use it throughout the day

    1) A Waterman Pen
    2) Only use blue
    3) It is always in my hand during the day for taking notes, signing letters, filling out forms etc...

    I like to use an expensive pen as it makes me feel good while I am doing my work each day.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. I am 35.

    I actually turn wooden pens on a woodturning lathe with specialised kits and have various refills to replace in my everyday pen.

    The pen i currently use is a Sierra.
    I'll have it forever provided nobody pinches it.
    A couple of hours during the day.
    I'm 31.

    I use Bic Pens
    Blue always bar I am drawing, then I use black.
    I guess I use pen a couple of time during the day to take notes etc, nothing full time.

    It bugs me if I cant find a blue Bic pen :o

    You should try using surveymonkey.com ;)

    Use any pen I can find, no particular brand/make, usually blue or black never red.
    Pens seem to disappear in front of me for some bizarre reason!

    I actually use pencils.

    Hardly ever use pens. All done on the computer. I tend to use gel pens. Usually have them for ages. keep it tucked in the desk, as since no one used them someone grabs the one they can see if they need one. A pen probably lasts me a 6 months to a year. 99% of the time is a blue one.

    1) Yellow-F (I think that's the brand name, there is nothing else written on the pen)
    2) black only
    3) 9-5

    1. Dont mind what brand as long as its medium ball point. Dont like the skinny ones. Much prefer blue ink. And sounds silly but if i like the smell of the ink i will try and not lose the pen!
    2. If I like the pen i will hopefully mind it until it runs out. usually a few weeks to a few months.
    3. Again if i like it it will be in my bag all the time.
