Do you ever forge signatures?

BTW, for joint accounts, back when I was married, I was able to sign my name to the back of a check that was written to my husband and deposit it to our joint account.

My 23 year old DD and I have the exact same handwriting.. we are always forging each other's signatures. (not on anything that is very important.. taxes, etc..) It's not so much anymore but before she was 18. Mostly school stuff. She was an A student for the most part, so there wasn't anything she was signing so that I couldn't know about it.

I just realized that this is going to sound really terrible, but I sign our pastor's name sometimes. I write cards to visitors to our church and sign his name, and sometimes on other forms from the children's department.

Lol. When I got to high school my mom would tell me to write my own absent notes.

Both of my parents have impossibly difficult signatures to forge so I could never get away with it.

Part of my job involves being an authorized agent to sign for my clients, I don’t forge their signatures but I will sign my name for them if they forget to sign things.

I sign my DH's name all the time - he know is do it though.

Yes. My adult daughter and I have handwriting so similar even we have a hard time telling it apart. It’s come in handy since she has a tendency to forget to fill out and sign forms for my grandson. I take him to school everyday and every once in a while he has a paper he needs to turn in that she forgot about. So I just go ahead and fill it out and sign it.

I sign my DHs signature on the random check we will get because he never seems to remember to endorse them. I don’t even attempt to forge his signature because it is such a sloppy irregular mess. I just sign it, take it to the bank and they cash it. Of course this is never for large amounts it’s always some little rebate or dividend check that doesn’t amount to much. As we’ve been going to this bank for close to 10 years and know all of the tellers.

All the time! I have to forge my employees signatures on their time cards when they forget to. I always put my initials next to it. If it's not signed they won't get paid, so they don't have a problem with me as their supervisor forging their signatures.

LOL. My signature has changed so much since signing pads were introduced all those years ago. It used to be my first two initials and my last name. Now it's really just my three initials with e flounce at the end About 9 months ago one of my banks rejected a check I had written to myself from a different bank due to the signature. I ended up having to submit a new signature card to the bank.

One of my bosses used to get me to sign his wife's name to things all the time.

In high school, one of my friends wrote absence excuses for me so often that it would have looked odd for my mother to actually write one instead.

I used to fake my father's signature in HS. I used my father's signature because I was afraid they would be too familiar with my Mom's signature.

I sign for my husband all the time, but I have his permission to do so.

I sign my husband's checks all the time, 99.9% of the time they're out of our hsa, and he's happy not to deal with it. I did laugh when my daughter told me she signed all of the school forms for me this year. She gave the very rationale explanation of did I really care about the syllabus after all these years and she's just a couple months from being able to sign anyway. I very rationally had the same explanation for my mom on the early signing of school forms which also meant that I could easily sign all my school releases and excuse absences later in the school year - I really don't think my daughter had the same thought and unfortunately for her technology means that there's no tardy or absence that won't ping my phone anyway.

I did figure out that those first day forms teachers make parents sign were mostly for teachers to compare signatures. I never signed anything for the kids once they hit high school
