Automatic retracting pen
Submitted by brad on Mon, 2008-02-04 15:13I put pens in my pockets. However, sometimes I put them in without caps, or I put in retractable pens without retracting them to keep the tip inside.
The result, as all who do this know, is from time to time a pen leaks out and ruins a pair of pants, sometimes more than that. It's expensive, and hard to solve. Since the earliest days the badge of the nerd has been the shirt pocket protector, but I put them in my pants. You could try tyvek pocket liners, I suppose, but it's hard to see how to easily add them.
