    For a solid few years, the signature on my driver’s license did not match the signature that I use to sign things nor did it match my normal handwriting.

    This is because the small town, fascist, dick cheese of a police officer who was handling my renewal decided he didn’t like my signature. So, he told me I had to sign the thing with a legible (to him) signature. After redoing the signature multiple times and having him reject it each time, I finally signed it like I was trying out for the Olympic handwriting team. He accepted that one.

    Like what even is the point of this exercise besides just being a giant festering asshole? Fortunately the signature mismatch was never an issue because it’s such and unimportant and useless detail that almost nobody cares when they check your license.

      Yeah that’s insane, you are legally allowed to make any mark and it’s a signature. But cops are above the law, so
