Why is it pens come 12 to a box, but there's only 100 Post-Its in a pad?

active_apathyI have paid my course fees! I am now officially a library technician in training. Officially.
I'm considering a new 'librarianism' tag.[Poll #667710]Now, as you may have guessed from the title, my day also came with shopping. My pen ran out - actually, all my pens are kinda empty - so this prompted the difficult quest to find a new pen. And to buy some Post-It notes.
Finding a pen is... um... strangely difficult. I decided that of all the pens they had boxes for, I wanted a 0.5mm black gel ink pen. They didn't actually have any. The box was full of 0.7mm ones.
Crisis!
So, I went looking for this exact pen that I decided I wanted. And then in blue, just in case and then... well, 0.7mm. Not happy, but I'll find a 0.5mm one before I start getting all learned.
Post-Its were easier to find, and my copy of HPatPS is now marked in strategic spots with Post-Its. Well... not quite. Normal people looking to keep track of a few pages will put Post-It notes into a book. As a result of previous academia, my books tend to end up with OMGWTFPost-Itnotes. The page count doubles in little yellow slips of paper, with notes, comments, jokes or squiggles on.
And... wait. Message. *reads*
And... um... that'll do. Yay! *snoopydances for Serenity*

Serenity has arrived at EzyDVD. Your copy is ready to collect. Remember, they aim to misbehave, and they surely do.SQUEE! And they're really, really trying to sell the BDM. More squee!
