I guess I cant really get toooooo bent out of shape. UNLESS SOMEONE ON HERE REALLY KNOWS THE CURE TO BITING PENS... and taras. for real man. why. if you hate america so much GTFO...................................
Biting pens is a stress reaction. Since you only do it at work it *might* be stress related. Or boredom. Stop going to work. Stop biting pens. Either that or find something else to gnaw on.
I will just quit my job for you etchy. maybe you can pay me to do you favors? really though I cant stop. its like trying to quit smoking again..... maybe ill start smoking again to stop my biting habbit? I need to see a phychiatrist.....
Post-smoking habit. Those who give up smoking often replace that habit with nail biting, it’s something to do with the hands that would have been occupied by a cigarette.
By isolating why you are biting your pens — and then briefly monitoring yourself under the same conditions — you will be able to stop your hands from automatically going to your mouth at certain times. If willpower isn’t enough, consider some of the following remedies and aids: Put a formula on your pens. There are several foul-tasting formulas on the market aimed at making your pens taste awful enough to turn you off of biting them — or at least alert you to when you do it unconsciously. Try CONTROL-IT! from stopbitingnails.com or MAVALA Stop. Be sure to apply the product regularly, so that the taste remains strong. Keep your hands busy. Idle hands will only serve to fuel your habit, so keep them busy. If you've found that you bite your pens when you are on the telephone, keep a pad of paper by the phone and doodle with a pen instead. Or get a desktop basketball game to keep your hands busy.
Chew gum or mints. If you are already chewing something else, you’ll be less likely to chew your pens. Keep gum or mints with you at all times, and when you find your hands going to your mouth, pop in a stick of gum or a mint instead.
is the Man Boss in our out of the office.. cause if he is out then you are missing him but if he is in you would have a penecil instead in you mouth
GREAT!!! now what should I use for "formula".... I dont want to stink up the whole place....... thanks alot for the info though, I think I will try gum for now......
Maybe you are just bored. Where do I sign up to work with you? A boring job is better than no job at all.

The guy that I work w/ chews pens all night when he's working. We work directly across the hospital w/ lots of sick people in and out of our hotel. So every morning I wipe everything down with rubbing alcohol. Including the pens!!! After I started wipen the pens down I noticed less chew marks on them! They must taste like crap!!:laugh::laugh: muahhaaahaha!
Here is why you should quit...you dont even need to be near a hospital to encounter germs.... "If work makes us sick, a likely reason is that the office, and our desks, are crowded with germs. By H.J. Cummins, Star Tribune February 22, 2006 The germiest places at work are our own work stations, so the more time we spend in them, the more we're exposed to bugs. In this study, researchers tested 616 workplace surfaces in private offices and cubicles in several U.S. cities. They took germ counts on the telephones, desktops, computer keyboards and mice, pens and door knobs. Teachers' germ counts came in highest by far: 17,800 germs per square inch of their tested surfaces. That's no surprise, because children are big germ carriers. Accountants were second, with 6,000 germs per square inch. Lawyers were lowest, with 900. Some of the numbers in the workplace germ study are breathtaking. For example, the computer keyboard of the average teacher is covered with 95,000 germs per square inch -- that's more than 11.1 million germs. Accountants' and bankers' pens carried about 2,400 germs per square inch; a lawyer's, 670." And Rexarew has the right idea, put alcohol on the end of your pens....Not beer or rum........ but rubbing alcohol or an alcohol based hand sanitizer...its cheaper than any of the "no bite" products out there and your pen gets cleaned in the process...
