Why is using disposable pens still common practice?
Why not buy one decent pen "shell" and then just buy the plastic tube with the tip and the ink afterwards?
I know many companies use pens for marketing but still, they could apply this too and also stand up for the environment while still do marketing.

Unless you're left handed and the ballpoint gets gummed up in paper fiber.
? Aren't ballpoints symmetrical?
Yes but our writing isn't. When you write right handed you pull the pen, whereas left handed you push it. It changes the angle at which the pen rests on the paper and makes it so the pen scrapes along the surface and digs into it.
Most of my cheap ballpoints have stopped writing with half the ink left because of that.
Oh oki
