It makes you feel sick when you have to write with a cheap disposable ballpoint (unfortunately experienced this the other day when I forgot my pen case)

Oh NO! I get the sinking feeling just thinking about it. I hate it when my local supermarket lady pulls a cheap Papermate, with no cap on, out of her HAIR and hand it to me to sign a credit card receipt. I'd rather scratch my signature with my nails than to touch that thing.

You have a bunch of syringes lying around and people think you need help.

Ditto.

You know you're a fp geek when:
- people look at your funny-looking different-coloured ink fingers, wondering what you do to get those colours there.
Re: You know you're a Fountain Pen Geek when...
You count up the pens lying open waiting to be re-sacced.
There are 21 of them.
You have never re-sacced a pen in your life and do not own sacs, shellac, or talc, and yet you have measured every one of these so you can buy the right sac.
At the pen show.
In two months.
On the weekend when absolutely everything on earth is happening from the Pine Wood Derby to the local SF/Fantasy Con, with at least two other major events. So, like, no promise you will get to go there, either.
This has not stopped you planning...

Re: You know you're a Fountain Pen Geek when...
you would rather go on FPGeeks and peruse YT vids and ebay auctions of fountain pens instead of going to your meetings.
ahh.... gotta go now, late for a meeting....
Re: You know you're a Fountain Pen Geek when...
Especially bad if the meeting is for FPCA (Fountain Pen Crazies Anonymous).

You should have seen my avatar on FPN. It was a pic of a calico cat(from icanhascheeseburger.com)that had a large black area on its face. The caption read,"The dog got a fountain pen for his birthday. It will now go to his next of kin."

You test a new fountain pen you have gotten, and you try out both light, medium and heavy pressure on the nib, checking the flow and all, plus the feel, the balance and the overall weight.
And when you gradually feel all the right responses from the pen, you get more and more excited.
Finally you know that you have got a good one.
Annnnnd...you get a deep happy zen kinda feeling of relief, satisfaction and delight at your new pen.
