You put two s’s im madison

I mean my signature is probably very similar now at 20 to when I was 14

like you are born with a signature like some wrestlers do

@@kowikowi465 I have a base signature. The base signature will never change but I add lines to stylize my signature

don't you have to change your passport every now and again?

Mines looked the same since I was probably 11 r 12 and I often get complimented on how nice and legible my signature is and I'm only 25

Yeah those things are garbage for actually writing anything legible. Shitty resistive touch screens every time

It angers me so much that you can’t see your signature as you write it... when I signed my learners permit I paid close attention so that when I signed my driver’s license I’d have an idea of how sensitive the screen was... didn’t really turn out, both signatures ended up hideous.

Yeah n he can preach practice..but let's be honest every store out there has same pen tablet..so ur screwed regardless

Nate can relate

Same

i think it's just for verification to see WHO signed it if it was delivered to the wrong person.

@@augustsinyukov8497 how can it work as verification if even I couldn't make out my own sign made with that thing?

Mike Dee - dame but on voting day in not millionaires zip code

I don't even try to make a nice signature on those terminals, I just scribble something random or put a smiley

Impossible

Came here to make the same comment

Marcos Landi when the barista asks the name for my order I say "Batman". Guess I might as well use it other places

I was at a minor league baseball game when I was young, and one of the players signed a ball as Batman

I say this as an anecdote and not a judgment on your character, but when I was bartending every person who signed their tab with “Batman” left little, if any tip. Which you’d assume was a way to be anonymous after being a dick, until you remember their name is clearly printed below the line. It’s fascinating though because no other Super Heroes were used. The billionaire detective is apparently a cheapskate

Literally the funniest thing i read!!! I think i just woke my house up😅😂

legit

Maybe doctor’s signatures

Pics?

Is it because you signed but half of the letters are missing?

Love your channel

Adam Emond same. Same. 👍🏽

Did they all clap?

My bank actually asked me to come over in person, because they noticed my signature changed. I had to show my id and sign a piece of paper to replace the old signature.

Yeah it wont those that have not been trained what to look for in signatures will often make the mistake of looking for them to look identical ironically signatures looking two close to identical is actually more of a bad sign especially if it is accompanied by strange variations in the depth and continuity of the pen strokes taken together things like that are some pretty big red flags that someone has attempted to trace or draw what they think the signature should look like than they are signing in a natural way. The ironic thing is that the same thing that causes many inexperienced forgers to give themselves away is what makes most of those that have had no training wrongly look for completely the wrong things when comparing signatures namely the mistaken belief that signatures should be identical or even close to it if they were signed by the same person. Humans make really poor substitutes for a photocopier as they are terrible at copying themselves let alone anyone else.

@@qwertyuiopzxcfgh - My bank once cashed one of my checks that I had forgotten to sign. Like, blank space. And the reason I noticed is because the account on which it was paid had become contentious. I wrote to my bank to complain, but never heard back. They soon became my former bank.

Seraphina S How in the hell was that comment only three sentences?

@@treyrmason musta took writing lessons from me lol

Well it doesn't prove identity and never really has. All it does is shift the blame when something goes wrong. It's not so much that the person asking for your signature wants to prove its you. They want to have something to point at and say "I didn't screw up this person signed the paper" Whether it's you or not is beside the point. It's not them. That's the point.

We should have sign with our *Blood*

As Altorin said it's not a proof of identity as such but neither is it to shift "blame". It's a proof that you agreed to something. Usually you want witnesses as well if it's a serious enough document. You could have seen a document but not agree to it, but by having you sign it actively agreed to it. In western culture an agreement is solid, whether it's a handshake over a pint of beer or an iron clad contract written by an army of lawyers. The signature is a way to prove that the agreement took place.

@@volundrfrey896 But a signature proves nothing. Its a scribble on a paper that could've been made by anyone. With a few minutes of practice most people could recreate anyones signature, it really isn't all that hard.

Snake Plissken maybe with a handwritten signature like we have but some culture made styles of signatures which are way more complex, the sumerians had a seal that had a whole series of symbols on it.

Lol!

Fun fact historian's think that the best bed was the guest bed for cultural reasons. The second best bed was likely their bed. It's a fun joke but in reality it is not a big deal.

@@derekwheeler4299 Being left the second best bed was a big deal because that was the marriage bed. As you said, the best bed was the guest bed. Vastly different from today when the guest bed gets the crappy $99 mattress.

Signatures are more hygenic

I think my signature developed at around 6th grade. I always made it very legible, and I loved getting comments like, "Wow! Your signature looks like a Doctor's!" I just thought, "It's *supposed* to look that way."

I've always had the same signature, but it looks like shit on my ID. Stupid electronic signature.

Nate Jones Is that a compliment though, doctors are notorious for their terrible hand writing/signatures

@@boshlovely2002 I misunderstood a lot as a kid, lol. I thought they were saying that a doctor's signature was fancy. Actually, when I was a kid, the family doctor, Dr. Fast, had a neat signature. He was well into his practice when I was young, and he was from the generation who took pride in such things as their signature.

Nate Jones I get it dude, the older generations have really nice signatures

I tried faking my mom's signature in school, I don't know how I got caught.

@H J What happened?

@H J my teacher gave me so many chances to admit I faked it, but I was all in. I dared her to call my mom.. she did. My mom's work was an hour away and it was hard for her to leave work on time, let alone early. She was there in 20 minutes.

it's the "RAS syndrome". Redundant Acronym Syndrome Syndrome

“Pee number”

rip in peace

@@meso_p I still prefer “Rest in RIP”.

I like Super-GAU too. GAU is German for "größter anzunehmender Unfall" (biggest conceivable accident). It's already the biggest, so putting super in front of it doesn't make any sense, but people do all the time.

How I write my signature: 1. Draw a dick

Because that doesn't give Republicans an excuse to chuck loads of Democrat votes out.

Privacy advocates will be up in arms. I think I hear them off in the distance.

@@zappawoman5183 gotta love the hypocrisy. How many dead democrats voted in Cali? Voter fraud is a bipartisan issue and to paint it as one party trying to supress another is disingenuous at best.

Also people can have the same fingerprint. It's just execeedingly rare.

That's genius

Then there is me who literally just writes my name. Not even cursive. And after watching this video I feel like writing my name is better than what most other people do. At least I write my name pretty similar every time since it is not some swirly mess

Back in elementary school, I was taught how to write in cursive. I practiced using my first name. I immediately forgot how to write in cursive unless it was my first name, so I've used that for my signatures ever since. My parents don't approve of it and think I should make it more complicated. Too late, I've signed things!

Almost the same, expect now it's only the first letter and some keymarks.

Thats because you haven't had to sign 50+ different things every day for years. After that, it becomes a simple squiggle

I guess it runs in the south asian blood. We're amazed by our dad's signatures and want our own which should look dope 😂

em1o smurf neat

Tee-hee..... The Navy "floats" on paperwork.

@@trinomial-nomenclature many years later i sign the pad in the store with A Lincoln. accepted every time.

Trust me it's not anonymous. I'm a Precinct Committeeperson and I get a list of how everyone voted in the past several elections, so for primary elections I know which houses to visit to encourage voting.

😱😱😱 WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR COUNTRY's ELECTORAL SYSTEM !!???!!!

WTF?! I mean I have to sign too when voting via mail in Germany BUT it is on a seperate sheet. You put the ballot into one envelope and than that envelope into another with the sheet. At the polls they just open the first one and apparently check if it is signed and then throw the other envelope into the urn to the in person votes.

@@MissDatherinePierce I'm in WA in the US and my signature goes on the envelope, not the ballot

But there is no Second envelope right? So one can make the connection between ballot and voter?

We're not a democracy, we're a republic, lol. The way voting happens in America needs to be fixed, it's bad. Here in Illinois I'm just so thankful that I don't have to deal with anything Georgians or Iowans do

@@3seven5seven1nine9 Republics are democracies or they're not republics.

@@GlennWolfschoon That's not what democracy means.

@@3seven5seven1nine9 I'm not taking about the meaning of democracies, I'm talking about the meaning of republics. Republics are democracies or they're not republics.

That is because America is not a democracy. They are at best an oligarchy, more likely a plutokraty and at the worst possibility a dipolearchy. Atm with trump the US for sure feels like a dictatorship to half the population XD

Absentee total average [over time] *VS* Mail-in and absentee [just 2016] Straight Apples VS Strange Oranges

Yes lol

If they don't tell you, you don't find out.

In California they mail you if they reject your ballot

People seem to be way more open about it in the US in general. Pins, hats and everything. They like to tell you who they voted for.

@@makoaki9071 it's not like I'm afraid to stand up for what choice I made in the voting booth but secret ballots are a constitutional right here. If you sign your ballot, the public employees in the electoral commission can trace your vote. If abused, this could harm democracy.

@@Max-bz8ev i think its actually a law that you cant tell anyone who your voting for, but theres no real way of enforcing that and no one really cares ;__;

In my state, you only sign the envelope, not the actual ballot.

in WA at least we do the two envelope thing too, the actual ballot is unsigned, the security envelope is too, and the outer envelope is signed.

Lol from a land down under.

I have one in my native language, had to make one in English because of complications abroad.

My full name is really long! Just my first and last name are almost 20 characters.

Jonathan Duenas i have a short one, my nickname, and while legally recognized i dont use it for anything official. That way when someone tries to use the short version i automatically know its fraud (happened once)

My official signature is a loopy squiggle. My art signature is just an M and a T fucking eachother. So yeah I got a short and a long one lol

@@Altorin I really want to see that art-signature! Any place where you share it?

I'm American, and I haven't heard of anything like that here. Also, it wouldn't help in most absentee voting cases that they were talking about since when you absentee vote (at the 3 times I've done it), they send you a physical paper ballot to fill out and send back by the election. But an app like that would work great if they switched to electronic voting!

I sure as hell was. My hand still hurts from the handwritten essays 30 years later.

They never taught me how to write in cursive here in Oklahoma

Ah, but certain politicians and groups in the US don't want more people voting hence the ridiculous requirements they keep adding to vote.

I rather get up on Sunday to vote than have a piece of paper lying around and *forgetting* about it.

Pretty sure that Germany doesn't just rely on a signature. Far too organised and keen on fair play would be my guess.

You don't forget if you do it immediately after getting it. I mean idk the US system but two little crosses are done in seconds. The overall process does not take more than three minutes and then I put it in my bag to drop in the mail the next morning. Usually I got mine 2-4 weeks in advance so plenty of time

@@MissDatherinePierce meh, i still wouldn't vote. Voting is a joke anyway.

Signature accuracy doesn't matter for day to day purchases. But when making a large purchase such as buying a home or participating in elections, it is beneficial to have a consistent signature

Yeah so does NY.

They also said Georgia requires students to learn cursive. Not in a loooong time

Michigan has absentee also.

They mentioned in the video that his famous "signature" was penned after he died

Except it wasn't- The familiar version of the Disney signature logo first appeared in the late 1950s, it just didn't become ubiquitous until the 80s. Walt Disney died in 1966.

So what is the truth?

E. K .O - As far as I can tell, there were many different variations of the handwritten name "Walt Disney" used in logos and titles over Disney's early history, and while it's unlikely these were drawn by Walt himself, most of them did at least resemble a version of his ever-changing autograph style. Some time after Walt's death, the company settled on one specific variant to use as its official logotype, and stuck with it.

This information in the video is incorrect. The main "Walt Disney" signature currently being employed by The Walt Disney Company today was used several times by the organization during Walt Disney's lifetime, including at the Progressland pavilion for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Do a search for an image of the entrance sign that read, "General Electric PROGRESSLAND: A Walt Disney Presentation."

We have electronic ballots, but if you don't want to take off work, drive to an electronic ballot booth, and stand in line with everyone else, you can mail in a paper ballot

Or if you physically can't. How does Brazil count the votes of the people who physically can't get to a machine, for example being on bedrest, or too elderly to drive, or working the kind of job that can't just shut down for a whole day?

If you vote by mail in the US, you need to sign the envelope to prove your identity. The ballot itself has no identifying marks.

James Russell hey I'm just a young guy, 17 but I was NEVER taught how to write in cursive. I taught myself my name and even then it's not really in cursive. It's someone consistent if I do a long signature but for short spaces I need to shorten it etc on a check. And sometimes I scribble it out because I'm in a rush to deposit a cheque etc. so throwing out cheque because the signature doesn't match is utter bullshit lol.

@@redcitadel8354 Who said it needs to be in cursive? Many, if not most signatures are half-legible. It certainly helps to know cursive, and I blame the schools for your lacking in that skill, but so long as you can make a consistent and distinct mark you will do fine. It helps prevent fraud. If you even needed to write a large check and the teller and the bank noticed an inconsistency in signatures then they would and should refuse the check. That could be your rent or another bill that NEEDED to be in by a certain time. Bullshit you say? It prevents you from losing your check or credit card and someone being capable of draining your account because "you are in a rush to make a deposit". You are almost an adult, you need to be taking life and especially your financial security seriously. No responsible bank employee would risk their job or even sympathize with you because of something like an inconsistent mark. Make an "X" it is really all that complicated. Sorry if that is too harsh but I am equally annoyed at the lack of basic skills like cursive handwriting in today's youth (and I am only 22) and your lame excuses for a bad signature; so forgive me.

I'm young, recently went though all the steps of getting a driver's license and a bank account and all that, and my mom encouraged me to sign my full name in cursive even though I've never done that in my life. I've been doing it that way in the months since, and unsurprisingly my signature looks pretty different now than _like the fourth time I ever signed it that way,_ and is only going to get more different. Not my fault my hasty 16-year-old choices stay on file until the end of time.

Jesus, it's not that hard to learn cursive.

@@woodfur00 So don't be hasty? The point is that I am not going to take the risk and put my job on the line just so some 16-year-old can cash his check. Deposit it if you must. But don't blame me for doing my job like I should.

It’s rather a lazy people problem, out of which we have an abundance in every country.

I’ve heard that the younger generation coming up behind millennials have their shit together Gives me hope that we’re not doomed.

Technology has a big part in this. On paper my signature is pretty consistent but the electronic pad they make you use for your license is incredibly difficult to use and not as accurate.

@@elizabethgatsby3442 And also tethered to the right side of the pad, so that the tip barely reaches the other end

Yeah millenials need to get their shit together, coming from the tide pod and fortnite generation 🤔

Yes, the video is totally wrong about Disney's signature and about the way it has been used by The Walt Disney Company.
