"I did not really understand the allure of having high-end pens. Don’t you just lose them?"
Yes and No. All my cheap pens get lost in a jiffy, and all the expensive ones are kept in their shiny boxes, waiting to be polished every new year.
Perhaps we should develop a "magnetic pen and shirt pocket" combo.
- lallysingh 14y agoYou tend to lose things you don't care about far more often than things you do care about. I've had a lovely mont-blanc fountain pen for some time now, in my shirt pocket every day. There's a real effect on how much I write with it, and how much that helps me get my thoughts together, versus a regular ballpoint.
- ante_annum 14y agoAll of my fancy pens wind up coming out of the box when I figure I should do more than just polish them. They're all lost within a week. I've probably managed to lose hundreds of dollars in pens, but I've also never bought myself a pen more expensive than a G2... they're always gifts.
