I 'ate you... and the mess you left on me rug.

Almost every time I lend out a pen, it comes back with:
(a) A chewed pen cap.
(b) A bent, twisted pen cap.
(c) No pen cap.
(d) A bent pen.
(e) No pen at all.

In all the above cases, I just couldn't love it anymore. So disfigured with no cap.

I prefer click or twist pens.

A sharpie without a cap soon becomes worthless.

To make it easier to resist stabbing people in the face with them when they anger you.

That's EXACTLY the point...if pens were pointless, they wouldn't need caps...

spoken like someone who's never put a pen wrong-side down in the shirt pocket of a white collared shirt.

Originally all pens were uncapped with unlimited writing capability, but some pen manufacturers were upset with P2P (pen to paper) abusers who would write on paper far more than the average pen user, which resulted in a shortage of ink in those pens. Manufacturers started installing artificial caps to keep the pen use somewhat in line with the average. However, this measure has been criticized as being ineffective, as it's very easy for end users to remove the caps and make use of heavy P2P applications anyway, so some manufacturers have already abandoned the idea of capped pens.

what?
