You know people who chew pens? I don't do that. I chew pens until bits snap off and don't stop until they're so short they can no longer be used. Pencils, I chew until they're so smashed up they give you splinters when you hold them. Not just stationery, either- if I'm holding a water bottle I chew all round the edges of the cap until it either falls off or won't work. That and my frighteningly inconsistent and illegible handwriting makes me wonder if I have some weird issues I'm not aware of and I'm venting on all malleable plastic or wood that comes my way.
