OAK BROOK, Ill., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Illinois office supply company Paper Mate says its national survey found 100 percent of respondents admitted to stealing pens from colleagues.
The Oak Brook company said its telephone survey of 1,000 office workers, carried out Dec. 14-27 by Braun Research, found 78 percent of respondents admitted to stealing pens by accident while 22 percent admitted to taking pens on purpose.
The survey, commissioned as part Paper Mate's campaign to stop thefts of its InkJoy pen, which it predicted will be the "world's most stolen pen," also found 70 percent of those polled cited pens as the office supplies most likely to go missing from their work spaces, followed by pencils and highlighters with 55 percent each.
The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
