Sounds like my wife! Over the course of 40 years I have sorted through boxes, cans and plastic cups filled with old empty pens, broken ones and pencils too short to use.

My daughter, HS Valedictorian though. She carried a rainbow of colors in her backpack and color-coded her notes through engineering school (Summa) to Law School. Drove her study group nuts.
Just last week I used an old el cheapo stick pen from a tire dealer to do a temporary repair on the broken nipple on an emissions gadget that got smacked inadvertently. Not the first time my collection of dead pens came through in a pinch.
Dude (or dame) musta been huffing the shit.
