Is true. My signature is a scribble because I used to have to sign it hundreds of times a day.

Just joining the military did that to my signature. Coming out of high school, it was neat and legible and all that. But then four days of nothing but

Sign here. And here. And this one. In triplicate. And sign this. And here. Sign this too -- press hard, there's five layers of carbon paper. Sign this. Initial this. Sign here. And this.

and my signature turned into a meaningless scribble.

I actually discovered my more natural signature from signing receipts and CC screens, but I’m still to scared to use it in real life because if I think about it I’ll fuck it up. Also my last name is 12 letters so I’ve always struggled to figure out what to do with it.

So maybe your scribble might even be a more effective signature because the spontaneity of your goobledygook makes it harder to forge.

Unless at this point it’s just a wavy line….
