like pencil smudging that just drive you crazy!

Scratchy Pens
Pens are our best friends,
but they're a major headache when they don't write well.
It's so frustrating when your pen feels scratchy or skips.
Luckily, pens like the Uni-ball Signo
provide a wonderfully smooth writing experience!
Overly Juicy Ink
On the other hand, overly juicy pens can be a pain too!
Since the ink takes longer to dry,
and might even bleed through the paper!
If you want to avoid this try the Ohto Rays Flash Dry.
Like the name suggests,
It has smear resistant gel ink that dries in a flash!
Dried Out Pens
Have you ever had your pen suddenly stop writing,
so you disassemble it,
ready to replace the refill,
only to find out there's still ink inside!
[Audible sigh]
Sure, you can use warm water to get the ink flowing again,
but it's still a chore
Pencils That Don't Sharpen Well
Don't you hate it when you sharpen your pencil,
but the lead keeps breaking,
or ends up looking like this!
Switch to a better pencil,
like the Staedtler Mars Lumograph.
They're break resistant and sharpen cleanly
because of their specially formulated leads.
Erasers That Don't Erase
Is there anything more rage inducing
than an eraser that doesn't erase?
[The sounds of a table flipping]
Not only that,
it also smears your lead and even creases the paper!
To save yourself the anguish,
treat yo' self and try something better
like the sakura foam eraser.
Rulers That Don't Start At Zero
Most rulers are fine for drawing boxes and dividers,
but perfectionists might be annoyed at
rulers that don't start at zero.
They have a tiny space between the actual edge
and the first marking.
Why?!
If this bothers you, consider a zero edge ruler
like the Hightide Clip Ruler.
It starts right at the edge, and can even clip the books!
Bent Notebook Rings
If you've ever used the spiral bound notebook,
you know the pain well...
After taking your notebook out of your bag,
you realize the metal binding is all messed up!
A good alternative to metal ring notebooks
is the Kokuyo Soft Ring Notebook.
The rings are made of soft plastic that won't dent.
Plus, they're comfortable to write on!
Finger Pinching Binders
Binders with metal rings are downright dangerous!

Oh my gosh! [Loud snap of the 3-ring binder]
[Australian accent: "Oy, look at that beauty!"]
[Australian accent: "Oy, look at that beauty!"] [Laughs]
Every time you open or close the rings,
you're putting your fingers at risk of getting pinched!
you're putting your fingers at risk of getting pinched! [Loud snap of the 3-ring binder]
That's why we prefer Japanese binders with plastic rings
like these Kokuyo Campus Slider Binders.
You don't have to touch the rings at all!
They close securely by sliding a tab at the bottom.
