I personally have finished three chapsticks from top to bottom. (using them correctly, not eating them.)

In line with your submission, I kept a Bic pen from brand new to absolutely gone. It took years, but I'm not exactly jotting down notes all day.

Now I carry a nub of a carpenter's pencil with me and I'm much happier.

In line with yours, I broke my new pen & kept it till it was empty as well!

I can place my hands in front of my chest and make circles, hands going in opposite directions.

How the hell did you finish 3 chapsticks?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In the last few years I've finished a dozen or so. In college I used about 1 pen per semester from start to finish in the same way. I tend to use nail clippers until they are dull, too.

I leave a chapstick (Burt's bees) at my desk at home and another in the pants I go out with (which moves to new pants with my wallet as necessary). Hard to lose things when I have a system, I guess.

I've had the same pair of nail clippers for like, 20 years now? The brand doesn't exist anymore, sadly.

I slept with your mom. I know she bangs everyone, but it meant something to me.

Dad? Is that you?! Did you finally get those cigarettes?
