MONK!!!
Now that's funny!! For me, I dress casual to work since my job requires me to
get dirty at times. Now If I were to wear a suit to work, then I would choose
my pens according to what I am wearing and yes....my mood!!! LoL!!! Thank
goodness this is a fountain pen list group since no one really understands our
obsession or passion or a bit of both. Now if I was cleaning and waxing my
pens daily and ensuring the cap is set perfectly, like the pelican on the top
of the cap having to face forward and in the middle of the pocket, then Call me
Monk. Also beak out the Straightjacket and paddy wagon and send me to the
loony bin!!! LoL!!!
Only Pen people can understand our strange humor!!!

It seems that (to non-FP users) we look almost like Mr. Monk...
I have seen some really curious faces at work. Some people are not used to see
lots of fountain pens inked at the same time, "just" because of different
colours, nib widths, flexibilities, etc make them suitable for different moods.
Just MHO.

That is really appalling behavior. I am surprised you were so passive.
If it had been me I would have reacted more strongly.
Something similar happened to to me when at a meeting at work a clown
snatched a Pelikan 400 out of my hand to make a note in the margin of
a agenda sheet. I just grabbed his hand and told him about 12" from
his face to never EVER do it again. He did not even bother to
apologise. A colleague informed me that this fool then went around
telling people I was not a nice guy and was trying to get rough with
him.
I think one of the problems is that non FP people do not really know
how expensive and delicate some of our pens are
