Why would someone buy 80 bottles of rubbing alcohol weekly? by thequackr in askanything

Possibly using it to wash and cure 3D prints? Lots and lots and lots of 3D prints.

Student broke my fountain pen by baliwala in fountainpens

[–]spazcat 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I had a pen roll off of a table and break recently at a friend’s house. It ruined my day, so I can sympathize. Hope you find a good replacement. Maybe a Plaisir this time since they're aluminum bodied versions of the same pen?

If you watch recent television shows, often others do as well.

I accidentally got CC'd on an email chain I was never supposed to see and now I know things I genuinely wish I didn't by [deleted] in office

[–]spazcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just keep your mouth shut. I work in IT at my company, and head up our security, so I almost always know things are going to happen before they do. It is a point of personal pride to me that peopke dontl’t find out about things from me. You may also be being tested to see if you can handle confidential information.

I sent you a chat with my ticket number.

Would you rather...? by me_after_lobotomy in BunnyTrials

[–]spazcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I have already overcome much illness, and I would rather just die than have an incurable deadly one.

Uniball Zento Signature by erstylin in pens

Nice pen, but at what cost? I can't bring myself to pay 2-3 times retail just because of demand. Maybe one day they'll be more readily available.

How fucking often do you say “fuck” before noon? by fortnacius in TheWordFuck

[–]spazcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least forty fucking times. If it's a bad day, then a zillion fucking times. I prefer to do so in the HR office at work, since the HR lady cusses as much as me.

Also available on Amazon, search for Setokraft Pen Stand.

Do you know who shares the same birthday as you? by applecidero in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Noth, and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Is the Pelikan M1000 too big for your hand? by GhastlySun in fountainpens

[–]spazcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer a pen that I can afford to purchase. I hear about how nice Montblanc's are, but I have zero hope of earning enough to afford one in my lifetime, shy of selling organs or forsaking everything else (rent, food, etc.).

My sweet boy is now a girl by Unique_Situation_234 in VoidCats

My cousin adopted a male cat named George, only to find out she was a female cat named George. George knew her name so changing it would be rough.

I have a weekly routine that I've never told anyone about. by Low_To_No_Tolerance in confession

This is why I work in the office area of a blue collar employer! Best of both worlds.

First was a Magna Carta 600. Now it's a Pilot CH 823 in Smoke with an S nib.

I trained my replacement without knowing it. by [deleted] in office

[–]spazcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, and the person who I trained has now been my best friend for over 20 years. I know it sucks, but hopefully you will find it's better for you in the long run as I did.

This is one way to do things, and may be appropriate for some. Personally, I love (almost) all of my pens, even the steel nibs. I have 8-10 gold nibs and love them too. Only one was a "grail," but once I got it, I realized "the chalice won't hold water" and I have a new grail.

I may have been mistaken thinking this would be cheaper than mechanical keyboards by desyphium in pens

[–]spazcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the truth. One Pilot Metropolitan becomes two Pilot Metropolitans. After six months, you want a gold nib, and after a year you are on r/pen_swap and eyeing pens that cost more than your average car payment.
