I am the type of person that I don't want to use anyone elses pens. I keep a pen of my favorite kids everywhere I go just incase. To me I worry about germs too. I mean some people have colds and the pens are germ infested or some chew on their pens. I prefer a medium point, medium sized pen. It like the tip size to be over 1cm. Thin pens just do not work for me. I have been buying my favorite pens for many years and get sad when I am down to one left lol.I will rush out to get a new set of them. I have experienced the issue of my pens not being made anymore or not sold in my local stores and I actually go upset and it took some time to find another type of pen that would satisfy my likings.

I just use anybody's pen. If I need a pen then I just borrow from someone else who has pen. I really hate most of my pens because they're all not working good. If I accidentally drop them once, the next time I will use it, it will not work anymore.

I know how that goes though as many pens are cheaply made. I don't trust the pen's bought at the Dollar Tree and like to stick w/the one brand I find I can use a pen that lasts until the ink runs out. I LOVE MY PENS haha

Well thats good. I hope it lasts a long time for you. I just a new set of four from Walgreens so I could have a purple pen lol..they are not that great. I've discovered I like the Medium point very much BUT only if it's with a semi thicker styled pen. If it's a tiny (skinny type) pen I can't use it a lot. It's to hard to write with fake nails and with my tendonitis.

Thats really weird cause I also used to have an obsession with pencils and pens when I was younger. I still am drawn to them and like to collect them. If I go to a store and I see a pen or pencil aile I want to look through them all and buy some lol. The desire was a lot stronger when I was younger. They had a pencil machine in elementary school with the schools logo on the pencil lol and I still have a punch of them. I literally have at least one droor full of pencils and pens. I have a huge collection from when I was young. It's good I write or otherwise they would go to waste.

lol..sound's just like me and now i'm into permanent marker pens and I love pens that come in colors. I used to have a color for everything! lol It's an expensive habit for sure but I use the type of pen that comes in a five pack for like six dollars so it works for me.

I used to be made fun of lol in a light hearted way by family members and friends about this obsession. maybe it started cause it was like a competition in elementary school to collect a certain kind of pencil that had gold lettering on it. there were rare one's that we all competed to buy in the pencil machine thing. I got one, one time and someone offered to pay like 4 bucks for it lol but I declined and I think I still have it around somewhere.

Oh wow! I do not use a pencil and cannot remember the last time I have. I prefered the mechanical pencils haha. My daughter is like that now w/mechanical pencils. I just think pencils don't write as pretty as pens in my opinion. : ]

for me as long as the pen makes my handwriting nice and clean i will use that even if it is cheap or expensive one,but most of the time i always use cheap one because it always depend on the use on how to take care their pen for long last usage of it.

Hello, SandeeE! I have the same attitude with you but not because of germs. LOL I always wanted to use my pen because it's different from others. We were always provided free pens in school but I was not using them. I was using Pilot G-Tec C4 and C3. I have a very good handwritten and they appear so nice if I'm using these pens. But whenever I used those broader pointed pens, my handwritten seems bad. But now I am no longer using pens that much. I am more of computer jobs so no pen is required.

ya it is true that pens & pencils are not such a necessity with everything being paperless these days. But I still use my pens for grocery lists, notes, calander, school stuff etc.

My favorite color to write in is blue but find myself always buying pens with black in haha. Not sure what that is about. Wonder if maybe my fav. brand doesnt make pens in blue maybe??? I'll have to go to the store to see.
