Personally, I carry a pen knowing that it will one day be lost. Long before it runs out of ink, it will become someone else's. Or broken.
I've never used a single pen long enough without losing or breaking it to need to refill it.
Heh. I still have my first pen. Yes, I do mean my first ever pen. The one I learnt to write with in 1st grade.
Unfortunately, it's in terrible shape:
Perhaps if I could re-align the nib, it could write again. The chip is small, and the tines don't seem too far separated. But I am not sure how to proceed with that without breaking it. It's just one of those cheapest fountain pens, not something meant to be serviced in any way.
I've used it for around 4 years.
