For me, it felt like being kidnapped by orcs.

You're not alone, I feel the same

Call me crazy but I actually liked it.

Same, I unironically love math and I got an A in calculus when I was 16!

The only missing is photoshopping Aragorn's face to an 8-year-old's. 👀

My brother (who is 20, and in university) tells me he still doesn't feel right using a pen, as he never managed to get his 'pen licence' in primary school (due to the state of his handwriting). 😆

This isn't really a thing in France though, everyone writes in cursive and uses pens at school (I went to school there for a few months when I was 9).

You can remember third grade? 😳 That was 1964-65 in my case (Easter to Easter).
Only dim memory of utensils, not when and where I used them. And they were definitely a dedicated line for schools, not the flashy and probably hideously expensive things used to sign treaties and similar documents.
A two-cartridge job, one in use, the spare cartridge turned 180 degrees behind the other.
And one with a larger refillable cartridge, so involving inkwells - probably not a good idea mess-wise. 😬

I stabbed myself in the palm with my pencil. Still have the mark.

In fact, I'd been considering posting the incident in the "How Clumsy Are You?" thread.

Maybe they should have given you a pen instead of a pencil.

Is that really that unusual? Though at least I didn't manage to get any graphite embedded in my skin...
