Free Ink Pens

[camellia0]

I would take one if it was one that I liked. I like the gel and it has to have a fine tip.

It is an awesome pen!!!

This is my deciding factor. I am a little bit picky about the pens that I write with. If it is a crappy design or difficult to use/grip, then I'll pass.  Even though free is free, if I never use it = it's just another piece of junk taking up precious space in my junk drawer.

yes, they want you to take them and like others have said we always need pens in our house.

I do not have a lot of luck with gel ink pens.  I also don't see those given away often although our bank has some.

This one was just a cool looking pen and it writes pretty good. Glad I snagged one.

   Oops! 1imaginarygirl-you are right. I misunderstood the question.
By the way, I get lots of "free ink pens" at local job fairs. And, they are great!

I'm pretty sure that I haven't paid for a pen in years. I usually take a free one whenever one is offered (hotels and banks especially). I always have pens on me because you never know when you will need them.

My husband collected them and every time I find a box and open it to see what's inside it's more pens and pencils so NO I do not take the free advertising pens

Sometimes....I like blue pens so if it's blue I will for sure, but not always if it's not blue!

I use to but now I prefer black. It just seems more professional looking especially on applications.

I almost always take free ink pens. I have a good stash of them.

Huh...  Go figure.


I personally prefer blue for similar reasons.  I am a professional and try to sign any documents in blue ink because photocopies are so much better these days that it is sometimes impossible to tell an original from a photocopy if it is signed in black ink. I sometimes have to resort to feeling the back of the paper to see if there is an actual pen impression or not and even that does not always work.  So I have a pretty strict habit (almost OCD) of always signing things in blue ink.

I sure do.  I can't remember the last time I paid for a pen.  if they are free, why not take one?

Well that makes sense. Never thought about some one photo copying my signature.  Thanks. Now I have something else I can stress about. haha

I use to always use blue ink.  Always.  I don't know why I started using black.  I like both.  I also really like, for non-professional needs, purple.  Heck when I was a teenager I probably filled out a few apps in pink or purple. We were allowed to use the pink, purple, green ink pens in high school unless it was like a big research paper or something.  I just remember one teacher saying she would not accept anything but a basic blue or back ink. She was a butt. lol

Sometimes when you go to something like the street fairs they have in the fall a lot of places will have free ink pens.  And some of them are really cool.  I don't just take them like every time I go to the bank because some of those are pretty basic.  Although if you need them why not.  We have a check cashing place that leaves them every where in town for people to take.  I may have a few of those.  They leave them on the porch at our church all the time.  Like a handful of them.  Our pastor uses them all the time.

Sure I take free ink pens. I sometimes ask when I'm not offered one. I have yet to have someone tell me no.
