I recently bought a few packs of Post-Its, and they're attached to each other accordion-style. Why the hell would they do that? Am I supposed to remember from sheet to sheet which way to pull them off? For god's sake, make it stop.
@AndyLowry Oh, I heave encountered this for.a long time, be careful when shopping at
Staples!

I retired my old Shaeffer Snorkels and such some time ago because they were just too fussy. The new inexpensive models with cartridge refills work amazingly well-- the nib might not be all fancy with gold or palladium, but they're the smoothest pens I've ever used. I have two, a Pilot Retro and a Waterman, and neither was over $20.
I like to use them because I need constant reminders to slow down and appreciate things more. Cowboy boots also help with that, because they make me walk slower and more deliberately. I'm trying to unlearn the in-a-hurry habit I somehow managed to incorporate when I was working.
@AndyLowry Yeah, cannot remember exactly what, they were handed down from my father, but know a couple of what pens are somewhere, are Schaeffer's.
@AndyLowry I still have some fountain pens, not used in a very long time. Couple with the old flip pump lever to get ink in them. And lost a few Mont Blancs, but back when the firm just got me another one. Now use mostly UniBall VisionElite gel pens, both blue and black (one red for notes on hard docs), and they work fantastically. If you lose one, you still have a pack of five more.
