They last forever at home but at work they seem to run out at a fast rate and I have to search high and low for a new one because no one ordered any as usual.
Years ago (the early 70's), my auntie worked in an office whereby she could only get a new Biro from the cupboard if you brought back the empty one!
There's a scene in Mindhunter showing BTK enforced a similar policy at work, so maybe your auntie had a lucky escape.
Buying more won't help, whenever you really need a pen and your usual one isn't working, the only one you'll be able to find is a cheap minure one that probably came from a kid's birthday party 10 years ago. There's no way to avoid this, you just have to accept it.
