Today, it’s exam day in Sweden. Yesterday, I prepared three fountain pens and six cartridges. The exam starts. Suddenly, I’m stressing out: my pens had frozen during the night. Thanks, sub-zero conditions. FML

That's why always keep ballpoint pen as a backup no matter where you go. They never freeze.

1. Who uses fountain pens anymore? 2. You left them in your car? (that's the only explanation I can think of as to why they'd be affected by the outdoor temperature)

Yes, they never freeze... Excepting of course when they do, and then you're kind of stuck...

No, it has to be pens so answers can't be changed after handing in the exam.

Plus in England you must use black ink because all the papers get scanned and blue doesn't show up as well- I'm sure it's similar in Sweden. Pencil is worse xD We can only use pencil on diagrams

I read that fourth sentence as "my penis had frozen during the night." That said... Fountain pens for an exam? What kind of exam are you taking...?!

Not that cold here in Sweden that it would freeze unless you're an idiot and left it outside.....

Do you not have pencils in Sweden? Or even a ballpoint pen?
