Any other fountain pen users have a dedicated "pen dungeon" where they put pens that have annoyed them in some way?

This is an air-tight Plano 3440 where I'm putting pens that have a history of letting the ink dry out when left unattended for some length of time. My hope is that an air-tight container might keep them from drying out over time, but I won't know for a couple months if it helps.

Photo of a rectangular plastic case on a desk, viewed from the top-down. The case is thick clear plastic with thick red clasps keeping it shut on the left, right, and bottom edges. There is a hinge across the top edge. A black seal is visible around the outer edge of the case. Inside the case, several pens are visible: Two Parker Vector pens (one red, one blue). A Hongdian Black Forest with a Carbon Fiber finish. Two Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop pens (one red, one purple). A Hongdian N11 in Silver Lozenge finish. There are more pens inside partially visible. Above the case on the desk is a partially visible Pilot Vanishing Point capless pen in Blue Carbonesque with silver trim.
