I have e-signed most of the paperwork I've signed in my life, but I did sign in ink for my first house. For that one, everyone encouraged me to be as casual as possible about my signature because they knew it would inevitably just get sloppier as we progressed through the paperwork.
That makes sense! E-signatures definitely make life easier, but I get why the house closing still called for ink. And yeah, after that stack of documents, no one’s signature looks fancy by the end it’s more about surviving the paperwork marathon than style
For a solid few years, the signature on my driver's license did not match the signature that I use to sign things nor did it match my normal handwriting.
This is because the small town, fascist, dick cheese of a police officer who was handling my renewal decided he didn't like my signature. So, he told me I had to sign the thing with a legible (to him) signature. After redoing the signature multiple times and having him reject it each time, I finally signed it like I was trying out for the Olympic handwriting team. He accepted that one.
Like what even is the point of this exercise besides just being a giant festering asshole? Fortunately the signature mismatch was never an issue because it's such and unimportant and useless detail that almost nobody cares when they check your license.
Wow, that’s ridiculous. Forcing someone to change their own signature defeats the whole purpose of having one. Good thing nobody actually cares about signature matching in practice it sounds like the officer was just on a power trip
Yeah that's insane, you are legally allowed to make any mark and it's a signature. But cops are above the law, so
How do modern kids even develop a signature? They used to teach cursive and it’s based on that, but cursive isn’t used anymore
Signatures aren't as important as people think they are. You can sign with literally anything and no one will care. The only time it may come up is if there's some kind of dispute and then someone asks you "is this your signature" and you say yes. Crisis over.

"(…)by signing this document, you are also acknowledging that Apple may sew your mouth to the butthole of another iTunes user. Apple and its subsidiaries may also, if necessary, sew yet another person's mouth onto your butthole, making you a being that shares one gastral tract."
Luckily I refuse to use apple products so that's not an issue
I mean it just needs to be unique. Otherwise what's stopping someone else from pretending to be you (if they got control of some other credentials) or weaseling out of something you did in fact sign for.
To quote Mr burns "you can't all sign with an x".
Same thing that's stopping them now. Nothing. That isn't a very good deterrent for those things
More like "is this your signature?"
"Uh, looks like the same ink pen I use, so ... Maybe?"
Mine starts off cursive then devolves into a squiggly line by the end.
Write name, but sloppily. My brain will always be lazy in the same way, so the signature just ends up looking approximately the same every time. So basically, lots of squigglies too, but I'll get the ascenders and descenders.
I have this issue. They let 15 year olds sign their own name. My current signature does not match my old one, so I have to re-memorise my old one or change it to be new. Fuck me, why let 15 year olds do this shit?
My 5 year old wrote a backwards F as his signature for his passport. I really hope they will let him pick whatever he wants when he gets a new one in 5 years
I also came up with my signature when I was a teenager. I didn't understand signatures back then... I recently changed it, but not on my official docs, such as my passport.
“How do I type this alphanumerically?”
“Meow meow meow.”
I used to do data integration work for Chipotle. One day, our Workday (HR system) integration broke out of the blue and we spent hours troubleshooting.
Eventually we discovered someone named Katherine applied for a position and signed her name with a 🐱 emoji, which broke EVERYTHING.

Go and update your DL with your legal signature. Call the mortgage company and thank them for the free house that some joker signed with cat heads.
Most mortgages specifically have a rider that says they can make you do more paperwork as needed
Not if you cross your fingers and say "no take-backsies"

Every millennial ever making their first email:
(mine is a fandom RP name from when I was 13)
I still use mine. Nearly 30 years as prettybunnys
Mine was a variation of my xbox gamertag.
My first email was netwesker15
When my company is hiring, I usually have to check the CVs from the ones working in my field. I’m absolutely shocked about how many people are using email adresses like “cutebunny93@xyz.com”. The most shocking one was some racial slur where some letters where exchanged through numbers. Needless to say we didn’t go further with that candidate.
CuteBunny93 has been using email for 20 years, isn't that a point in their favor?
… what’s wrong with CuteBunny93
It's the date in the username. So dorky.
mine is a fandom name too, misspelled, of course
I feel like in 2025 in SoCal that this post couldn’t be real. Got my home for $600k and a decade later it’s worth $1.6m. Could I be rich simply by moving to Washington?
I didn’t see OP mention what he paid.
Yeah, moving to lower cost of living will make you relatively rich. It's a reason people sometimes retire to rural (lower tax-red) areas. However, If you're still working the usual problem is that the jobs also pay less and "amenities" are also less. Fewer good restaurants, less option for entertainment, worse schools, etc.
Old people without kids in school move to cheap areas and then fight to keep the taxes low so they don’t have to pay for services they don’t want. Nothing worse than being gentrified by the old
Yeah, basically what happened to Florida and a part of why it went from swing state to Red.
This is amazing!
And so real too.
Don’t you just e-sign everything now? I did for my last two times going back over 10 years IIRC.
Giving an offer and the pre-closing papers are all DocuSign.
Closing is all done IRL at the title company, with physical papers.
depends on location and title company.
my last two homes were physical signatures over like 200 pages of documents.
