"Objectively. . .”
Way back, when I was in college and didn't really have the money, I used to buy reasonably good Cross pens. They would go missing all the time. One day, when I was working cash, I handed the customer my Cross so that he could sign the payment promissory form ("businessman" who couldn't pay for 2 weeks of parking) and he got frustrated at not being able to figure out how to open it. He smacked it on his steering wheel, putting a nice bend in it. That's the last time I bought a nice pen.I used to lose pens all the time, until I bought myself my first serious one in the early 1990s. Since then, only one has been lost, and that one was destroyed in a freak accident.
That said, earbuds are something I DON’T buy anymore. Besides the fact that I don’t find them comfortable, since almost all of them are wireless/bluetooth, they’re so much easier to lose.
It gets hound-and-horny. But it's all horrorshow between droogs!You ever wander into or return to a thread after awhile and feel like you need a glossary to understand what’s being discussed now?
(I usually take that feeling as a sign I need to stay away from that thread for what it’s worth.)

Gargoyles...paid too much and then broke them at the firing range (my fault).I did the same thing - I had a pair of Ray Bans that I had bought when I was younger and lost them, and because it wasn’t the kind of thing I was willing to just get another pair because “oh well”, I just bought drugstore Foster Grants for years, losing them and mistreating them as time went on. Few years ago, I got another pair of Ray Bans, and these I baby now. I think part of it was just I was younger and I didn’t treat things with the same care that I would today.
