Yes, but it's rare that I don't have a pen, since I carry a minimum of three in my bookbag, which is with me most of the time. If I just go into a store with my wallet I don't have one (my current wallet doesn't have a pen loop), and usually don't have one when themparking (I don't like to carry a bag if I don't have to).
The pens I use for grading papers I purchase in bulk. It's getting close to time for that, but I've got several that are just low on ink, and like CP, I don't throw them away.
Other pens are acquired randomly (I have more free pens advertising stuff than I know what to do with). I should really go through them all and toss the dried up ones.
Some I have because for a while I couldn't find my grading pens except in a variety pack, which means 3 "extra" pens of the "wrong" color to get one grading pen. Those, however, I'll use. Except those red ones. I hate red pens.
I gave a pen to a delivery guy once who didn't have one. He had to borrow a pen from ME. I told him to keep it.
