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.
Nice

How the hell did you finish 3 chapsticks?
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.
Same here.
Dedication.
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?
