My mom gave me her Kohl's credit card to use today as she had a big coupon that you had to use with the card. As I signed her name, it brought back memories of me practicing her signature as a naughty little high school student. So...[Poll]

Re: clicky poll

  • Duh.  Of course I forged my parents' signatures - mainly for when I got a bad grade and needed a parent to sign the paper.  My dad's was super easy because it was this crazy scribble.

  • My mother taught us to sign her name.  She was lazy.

  • On anything important?  Well, that's debatable. I forged my parents signatures a time or two, but for the most part never needed to.  I was quite good at signing some of my friends parents names though.  I could write a mean excuse note.

  • My dad has a very girly signature.  There were times where we were accused of forging his signature on absence notes when it was really his.  But it made it much easier the times we forged his signature.

    My mom's signature is impossible to replicate.  She's lefthanded and has this small and precise cursive.

  • In 6th grade I forged a note that said I could go home with my friend on the bus.  I don't know how my teacher saw through my erased-and-rewritten-in-pencil-on-school-issued-lined-paper note.  Angel

  • I was in 6th grade when I forged my dad's name on my detention slip.  It was my first and I didn't want him to be mad at me, it was for talking during music class.  I didn't get caught.  I also forged some grades on my report card in HS, my father never new.

    My son forged my name in the 3rd grade, it was obvious because a) 3rd graders don't write like adults and 7: he spelled my name wrong.  dummy.

    ETA:  I actually do know the difference between knew and new, really.

  • I did it all the time because I forgot to ask them to sign stuff.  I was also the go to girl for forging things for my friends for some reason.

  • I'm guessing one of your forged grades was for English class.  Wink

  • I mainly signed excuse notes when I ditched HS.  I even called myself in as my mom a few times, and every time one of my gfs would try to call themselves in, the school would be like, "um, no.  I know this is the student." 

    I don't think I started forging at an acceptable level until I was in HS.  I remember having to bring detention slips or whatever to my parents while I was in middle school and facing the wrath.

  • I never had to. My mother was overly permissive and let me ditch whenever I wanted to. And I don't think I ever got a bad grade.

  • I can't think of anything my parents would have had to sign that I didn't want them to see.  I only ever got detention once and my father gave it to me.

    Mine too!  Which is why I was glad she had a stamp of her signature made for work that I could use if necessary.

  • I forged her signature on a bad test or two. My mom and I have very similar handwriting anyway so even these days when I sign her name (if she sends me into a store with her card or something) I get it pretty exact.

  • The only time I did was when I wanted to give blood at the blood drive at school my senior year of HS and had forgotten to have my mom sign before I left for school.
  • Am I the only "no that's wrong!" answer? I am the only one who was scared to death to do something like this? The fear and worry about being caught and the ensuing parental wrath far outweighed any benefit or joy I might have gotten from the forgery. I can feel the anxiety even now, and I am almost 40 and both of my parents are dead. Ha!
    image Guess who?
  • Well my mom was pretty loco when I was growing up so she'd frequently forget stuff like permission slips so that I was allowed to do myself. Then if I brought home a low grade she'd berate me and tell me she wasn't signing it because she didn't sign garbage so it was either forge her signature and get the D or not get it signed and fail. :)

  • I'm trying to think if I forged anything other than absence notes.  I'm pretty sure that was it.  I don't think I did it that much either, since I didn't really skip class very often and the times I did, I just didn't provide a note.

  • I honestly never needed too. Never had a grade bad enough, never skipped class, never was a problem in school. The girls I work w/ try to forge all the time on their homework sheets. Its comical because we have a master sheet, and they're not good at forging.

  • Both of my parents signatures are impossible to replicate.  I tried once just to see if I could do it, and nope. 
  • ALL THE TIME.  Got to the point where my mom would say, "just sign my name to it.. you know how to do it."  I used to get paid at school to forge other people's parent's signatures on bad grades.  I only requested that the person bring me something signed by their parent so I could copy.


  • I was a professional (still am) at my fathers signature. I signed several of my brothers failed tests over the years. I also wrote myself out of school on numerous occasions.
