- animal531 6y agoI had a pretty large callus on my index finger from the way I gripped the pen during school and university. After that I almost never wrote again, and now 20+ years later it's pretty much receded (I can only barely feel it).
- app4soft 6y agoYeah, I has same non-sweet memories: when I was in school (there are was not good pens on the market yet) many of us put a small piece of rubber tube on a pen as "DIY softener" to relieve pressure on the fingers. Later when I sew new pens with rubber tube putted by default on the market it keep me smile a little.
