Fesshole 🧻On any electronic signature pad, I draw a horse instead of my signature. Nobody has even noticed.
Badger Dad@fesshole I don't think it matters until there's a dispute on a charge.
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@BadgerDad @fesshole Even then it doesn't matter.

@fesshole that's cool, I think I will start drawing triceratops
Hiker Geek 🌲💻🌲Technically, even on paper docs, you can sign whatever you want.
As long as you consistently sign a horse it is legally binding as a signature. It is then the signature of the person who signs a horse.
P.S. My signature on those things is a squiggly line.

Mad Engineering@labbatt50 @fesshole You need a mark you can consistently reproduce, that's distinct enough that it won't be forged
Creative enough stick figure ought to cut it.
Snooklalala@fesshole Neigh. I don't believe this !
traecer@fesshole if you spell your name as "picture of a horse", it's totally legal. Anything can be your signature, really...remember, illterate people used to sign their name with just an X.

Solitha@fesshole There was a fun Fediverse story by someone who changed their ID signature to three cat faces.
And found out that is now their legal signature.
All the paperwork for the house they bought had to be signed that way for the notary.
Some people bemoan how many schools quit teaching cursive because they think for some reason your signature MUST be your name in cursive. Your signature is whatever you make of it.
MarkD@fesshole The signature is for *you* to recognise, not anyone else.
The sole purpose is for the delivery company to ask in a dispute whether that is your signature. If you recognise your horse scrawl and admit it was you, then job done.
If you recognise the horse scrawl and lie about it being you under the pretence that it's not a real signature, then the fraud is on you.
So scrawl away, so long as you can recognise a scrawl not created by yourself.
Also, delivery people often take photos, so a scrawl is often just additional evidence of delivery.
