Got back hone from an appointment with a form that specifically says it's to be filled out with blue or black ink.

Why do people have to be so boring?

I usually just ignore those instructions, and write with orange, teal, golden brown, bright red ink.

Then I have to redo most of the forms because they were rejected. ๐Ÿ˜†

@CDCastillo In this case, it's a rather important form. I keep a pen inked up with a boring black ink for such emergencies.

I carry a blue rollerball as my emergency pen specifically because of this. I would still rather use a pen I prefer rather than a random ballpoint from the doctorโ€™s office

@paradoxmo I keep a pen inked up with boring ink for such things, and for extreme emergencies I have a... ballpoint *shudders*

Iโ€™m fine with ballpoints but not random ones. Good ones like Jetstream and Acroball I can deal with

@Jonathan Lamothe well many reasons, the color blind find reading other colors much more difficult. Computers find it more difficult to read the others, etc.
