fuck shit, I can't believe it,
just tried signing a receipt with an X, just because I felt like it and the supermarket cashier said I wasn't allowed,
I told her that it was my signature and I could sign in whatever mode I found appropriate. she still wouldn't let me sign it, so I made her call her boss whom decided I could sign in whatever mode I felt appropriated.
How does it work in your country? Are you allowed to use the X?

An Indian guy I once worked with would draw a paperclip with random characters inside of it and little feet sprouting out for his signature. Every time. And each time he'd actually spend like 30 seconds drawing it with total diligence and focus.

i think you're only allowed to sign with an X if you're illiterate.

Georgesll, same thing happened to me. I'm signing x on every receipt for ages now.. nobody gave a damn about it except this one cashier that was (literally) pissed off about it!! telling me I was being childish and so on, maybe I am so what? Why the hell does she care?
I'm signing x just because I want to not because I'm illiterate.
- that's nice and all, but your signature is actually a distinguishing mark as unique as your fingerprints.paraselene
- if you just mark an 'x' - or if everyone did, there would be no point in having signatures at all. are you not interestedparaselene
- in protecting yourself against identity fraud?paraselene
- With my handwriting, it's the same if it's X or my name. But other than that, you have a point there.differenz
