Why I stopped packing 6 pens in my EDC pouch after one comment
At a coffee shop last month a stranger asked if I was a nurse because of all the pens clipped to my pocket and that hit different. Now I carry just a single Pilot G2 and a space pen for backup. What's the one thing someone said that made you downsize your carry?

Read somewhere that strangers judge you by the number of pens you carry.

My sister read that same thing in some lifestyle blog last week... honestly it kind of makes sense when you think about it. I remember hearing a guy on a podcast say he always carries exactly three pens because it makes him look like he actually gets things done. Too many pens and people might think you're a hoarder or something, but too few and you look unprepared. I guess there is some weird psychology behind it, like how people judge you by your shoes or your watch.
