killamch89 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have no preference in this case as it depends on what I'm doing at the moment. What's you pick and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I typically go for a pen. I have some mechanical pencils, but don't use them. The ink of a pen is bolder and easier to read than the graphite in a pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I can't even make a stick figure look good, so drawing has always been out for me. DIY projects are something that I haven't done in so long, that I don't even remember what one would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 These days I rarely use either. I use Microsoft word, email, or notepad on my phone 99% of the time. Unless I am signing paperwork, in which case pen is the only way to go. Blue or black. You can't use a pencil for legal documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I remember needing a pencil was those stupid standardized tests in school. And always a "number 2" pencil. Now, in all seriousness, has anyone ever actually seen another kind of pencil? No, you have not! And why the fuck does it matter anyway? I got in trouble one day for using a mechanical pencil until I showed the teacher that it said "Number 2" on the clip. They never said it couldn't be a mechanical pencil. It just had to be a god damn "Number 2" pencil. The next day everyone was using mechanical pencils for those meaningless, idiotic tests. Which I always intentionally bombed, since the only thing they did was determine how much federal funding the school got, and never counted towards our grade.

That is a well known fact - As a matter of fact, you can't use a pencil for any worthwhile document I can think of. Also, it'd make you come across as unprofessional or amateurish if you're a business professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
