Application form fury

[Virtual Monkey]

Why do some application forms (and some forms in general) have such tiny writing spaces? Is it part of the interview process, to see how people react when you ask them to state the name, phone number and address of a former employer, and then give them a space barely bigger than a 50 pence coin to write it in?

I always end up writing all over the margins, which can't exactly look professional. Any one else have this problem?

I've never had this problem.. nor have I had many applicaiton forms to fill in. Have you tried using a "fine" nibbed pen?

We've gone from rage fueled rants to ones powered by fury.

Feel the love people.....feel the love.

Ah forms, the bane of my life. My current job involves processing forms that are often filled in incorrectly by our staff on behalf of customers. When we return them to customers we, understandably, get some rather irrate calls back from them. I move to a new position in early July, can't wait!
