No need to defend yourself. I sit on the other side of the cockpit door and don't think I have bought a writing utensil in 20 years. Never taken the toilet paper, but shampoos, soaps, notepads, and coffees (even before I left the church...) all come home with me.
Airline crew spend half our lives living in hotels, away from family and friends, often on holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. We frequently miss the big game, or the recital, or the parent-teacher conference. No need to feel bad about taking home a disposable item that was for your use anyway.
