Ruined Clothes

That's why I wear my wife's clothes when filling or cleaning! 
I don't ruin clothes, but if I wear them for too long, they wear out. I make it a habit to periodically rotate to new clothes, donating the still serviceable clothing to charity.

Your pecs are too well developed if they can unscrew a pen in a shirt pocket.

A little poofier than I prefer
Hmmm, you retitle this thread "A Reason for Non-Waterproof Ink".
I have lost several shirts and pants over the years to pen leaks - all ballpoints, I might add. Fortunately, the fountain pens are batting a thousand.

Always carried a fountain pen in grade school & High School. Only leaks were from overfilling. Mom always wrote with a fountain pen & had an at-home formula for removing stains - I think it involved bleach plus something else, but it worked like a charm & never left that yellowed bleach stain.
Living where it is flat, I rarely have issues with leaking pens.
Of course when I do go anywhere with elevation, I’ve invariably managed to flip my pen upside down.

yeah... and that's why I quit carrying friction fit caps. I learned sooner than 20 though.
This is genius.

Me too, so soft on my skin...........
I didn't think 51's ever did that
A few over the years. Usually fairly new ones at that! Usually it was from just dropping them into my pocket but forgetting to cap it. Amazing how much ink can come out in just a couple of seconds!
