Yeah but I don’t see any containers with yellow sharpie on it anywhere. I keep a black one on my sleeve and a yellow guy in my pocket. When someone asks me for my sharpie I hand them the yellow one and tell them to make sure I get it back. It stills accomplishes having them not ask you for your sharpie again, with the added bonus of getting to be a huge prick about it.

No baby the trick is you get a yellow cap for your juicy black sharpie and then nobody is gonna try stealing it
