Another way to think of this is you pay people $50k+ to do a job that requires safety glasses and they still forget them! And you think they'll remember them for free?
The fact that the free ones make you look like a dork should be punishment enough... Perhaps they could follow the tradition of one of my middle school teachers that had small state flags attached to loaner pens and pencils to make sure they made their way back to the desk.
I do think this thread is very very long for an issue that could be solved by "Don't be a jerk."
