    Do you hate signing electronically

    Anyone else hate it when you have to sign for something like a delievery and the driver pulls out his PDA thingy.

    When ever i sign with one of those my signature always looks like some 2 yr olds just scribbled everywhere.

    Just had a delivery and felt like just putting a cross on the screen. And when it came to printing my name that was terrible.

    I thinking it's something to do with the fact the pen touching the screen. That bit of glass (the touch bit i assume) is in the way.

    I just squiggle my initials, no attempt to bother signing it.

    It's great - you've got plausible deniability (especially if the courier is looking the other way)

    Re: Do you hate signing electronically

    Just slow it down - if you sign at about a quarter regular speed you can actually get a decent signature down.

    But yes, hate them.

    I don't have a proper/set signature. So I just scribble my last name down. And yeah it feels terrible writing on that.

    If it's so electronic they should just ask you to leave a thumb print

    Re: Do you hate signing electronically

    Mine always ends up incredibly illegible because I run out of space after about the 3rd letter so I end up squashing up the rest of the letters on top of each other and confidently hand it back to the delivery man to create the illusion that I did in fact not mess up my signature. :S

    I scribbled "You're late" on my last few delivers after they turned up at silly times in the evening.

    Re: Do you hate signing electronically

    I am terrible at signing my name. My handwriting changes from week to week, so my signature always looks different. When I sign these things, mine also looks like I just shut my eyes and scribbled a bit .

    Re: Do you hate signing electronically

    Doesn't really worry me all that much, my signature when I sign for things is just a random mess anyway, I dare anyone to try and forge it lol

    I've signed for things at work as Mickey Mouse in the past too.
