This is it. This is the post that makes me unsub from r/lifehacks.

This is the post that makes me grind my laptop into tiny shards and shoot them one by one up my pee hole with a blow gun.

Until your IT guy Moses stabs that through his hand and you have to talk to Karen in HR.

[–]diduxchange 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fuck Karen, she never understands /my/ problems, real problems

[–]kurieus 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As an IT guy and a clumsy asshat, this would be me. I'd then take away your computer and not give it back.

[–]Einstine1984 61 ポイント62 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Really?

You consider this a lifehack?

[–]TheAlphaCarb0n 48 ポイント49 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lifehack: take a deep breath and talk to the boss who can get you a $2 pen holder.

[–]Jacxk101 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or... YKnow. Get a cup?

/r/diWHY material right here

Why not just use any old coffee can or jar? That's what I do. It's not too difficult to find anything to hold pens with, although I will give you props for thinking outside the box because I have never seen anyone hang their pens up.

[–]champbell2012 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup, use an old iPhone box for my pens

Another life hack for something that wasn't a problem to begin with

[–]DirtyLeaks 35 ポイント36 ポイント  (11子コメント)

Yea but pen removal seems like it would be a mess. You can't really just grab one and pull it up without the entire setup falling apart and scattering everywhere. You would have to pull the clip out and then remove the pen, it's a two handed job. Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong..

[–]Trox92 54 ポイント55 ポイント  (9子コメント)

It's a bad solution to a none existent problem

[–]Fantasticalism 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (8子コメント)

The problem is that OP can't be bothered to ask for a simple pen holder.

[–]onemessageyo 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Or a cup

[–]sashslingingslasher 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I always use a used (but cleaned - that's the LifeHack) salsa jar. Then when people ask about it, I say, "Just wanted to spice things up."

[–]onemessageyo 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Shit man you're either awesome to have around or really annoying. I'm going to use this.

[–]sashslingingslasher 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm basically Tom Haverford.

[–]karmabaiter 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So... annoying and awesome...?

[–]notmyuzrname 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or just leave the pens on a corner of the desk!

Grow some balls and talk to your boss.

I'm not suppose to get staples in it.

[–]smelling_the_roses 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm gonna get downvoted like hell but...this is the kind of shit that made me dislike having interns.

You didn't feel like asking for a pen holder, which would have taken a minute to request, but instead spent probably 5 minutes coming up with something that is going to take more time to use?

That's a waste of an internship. Here's a life hack for you: pay attention, be professional, learn how to maximize your time (hint: it's not making shit like this), and take initiative (hint: ask for a pen holder or use a goddam mug).

[–]AcidMal 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

LOL this and the fact that the idiot will work for free but doesn't want to ask them for a pen holder.

[–]boclcown 41 ポイント42 ポイント  (2子コメント)

"I didn't feel like asking" .... "so I had to improvise"

That made me cringe-laugh.

Are you sure they want something so janky on display?

[–]Defective_Prototype 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My boss lets me tinker around the office as long as my inventions remain visually pleasant or otherwise out of sight.

He'd tell me to fuck off, grab a pen holder and get the fuck back to work if he saw me doing this.

[–]di11ard 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup... I'm out. Bye bye r/lifehacks

[–]Jellyman_04 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Ummm, plastic cup?

[–]Koldfuzion 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'd go with a mug since they don't fall over and free ones are about as ubiquitous as plastic cups at somewhere like an office space.

[–]randommouse 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There is probably a break room at his office that at least has coffee cups.

[–]MojoGigolo 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your desk was already a pen holder. GTFO!

[–]jmkiii 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You destroyed a paperclip for no fucking reason.

CONGRATULATIONS!

[–]beka13 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you work at the only office in the world without a surplus of mugs?

[–]SayceGards 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You could use, you know, a mug or a cup.

[–]Bragendesh 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thanks /r/lifehacks for always being an asshole no matter how good or bad the hack is. It's great to know I can come here and watch people get roasted for zero reason whatsoever. /s

[–]KarmaFish 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

McGuyver are we? That is like literally office cubicle caveman style tool manipulation. I think I watched a documentary on crows doing the same thing with paperclips to get food out from awkward spaces.

[–]Pabi_Purez 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or possibly I'm out.

[–]hobabaObama 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why are people being mean to OP? If you don't like it, move on.. No need to insult him/her...

Dat workstation tho

[–]lurco_purgo -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think it's cool. If it's working for you than awesome. Don't feel bad about coming up with something original!

[–]AbsolutelyUnlikely 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Original doesn't always mean good, though. For example, this one time, I didn't have a pen holder at my new job, so I made one that looked like shit and didn't function well by destroying a perfectly good paper clip. It was original, but I later found out that it gave my boss serious doubts about my future with the company, and those doubts ultimately led to my termination. I still wonder to this day...if I had just used a mug, would I still be homeless and HIV positive right now?

[–]RedRedditor84 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why do you even need so many pens? Do you sign things in different colours?
