A pen is a necessity, especially if your work requires you to write or sign several documents.

This woman narrates how the new Chairman of the Board didn’t carry a pen. He would just put his hand out and expect someone to give him one.

Because she found this annoying, she found a way to make sure nobody could give him a pen.

No pen? That’s a problem…

I worked for a board.

I got a new Chair.

I quickly found out he never carried a pen.

He always had things to sign during meetings.

This woman was surprised that the new Chair, despite being an attorney, never carried a pen.

At the first meeting when he was Chair, I was seated next to him.

It was time for him to sign something.

Without looking at me or asking, he simply put his hand out for me to hand him a pen.

He was a professional and an attorney, but he never had a pen!

So, she strategically seated him between two people who couldn’t help him out.

So at a subsequent meeting, I got my petty revenge.

The nature of the organization meant that several members had disabilities.

I deliberately set out the name plaques before the meeting and seated him between a person with a disability who was unable to wield a pen and the sign language interpreter.

She was so satisfied!

The look of desperation when he realized no one was near him to hand him a pen was priceless.

This was several years ago, and it still gives me glee!

I hope he started carrying a pen after that! Let’s read the reactions of other people on Reddit.

This user can’t believe how he acted.

While this person assumes something else.

This is perfect, says this person with a disability.

Here’s another creative idea.

People are loving the petty revenge.

Guess he learned his lesson to bring a pen at all times.
