I don't even have a signature. While I can do lovely calligraphy, my actual handwriting is a testament to a failed Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test. Now, that's extreme, but how many people have a stable signature now when they almost never have to reproduce it?

I have been asked to 'reproduce' a signature once in my entire life. At a 7/11, buying $6 worth of food. It took 4 tries to satisfy the cashier, because my signature is completely inconsistent. I almost refused, but I was curious whether I was even capable of signing convincingly.

To this day, I have no idea what drove that decision.

Do you never use a CC? Ive drawn smiley faces before. No one really cares unless the charge is high and disputable.

[Bartweiss]

Huh? I use them and sign regularly. I meant that once ever, a cashier actively refused my transaction because she found the signature unconvincing.

That's why I was so baffled by the context - a $2000 computer purchase doesn't get checked, but $6 of cookies got me the wringer.

Ah got confused. Clarified now.

I try very hard to stabilize it to avoid getting franked at the voting site. (problem: Florida)
