This is mine, I think it's awful
How is your handwriting?

Do others judge people they haven't met by their handwriting? I know you shouldn't but im sure subconciously most do, like most do it on appearance. Just curious.
I think handwriting skills these days are very poor. I remember school lessons in handwriting I cant imagine that it's on the agenda these days. I even rememeber a kid in class been given lines and detention for bad handwriting.

My handwriting is appalling, always has been, I'm quite happy to teach myself most things but I feel that I would benefit from guidance with trying to improve mine. Can't see me seeking it out any time soon.
Not really, it happens so infrequently that I get to read the handwriting of someone I've never met that I don't think anything of the writing itself when I do.

So am told!

Like i punched spiders on paper, thats pretty much what it looks like 
Mines ok but not at all constant if you compared 2 samples of my handwriting you wouldn't think it was by the same person.
Mostly its because I'm not bothered enough about it other than its clear enough to read, if I take my time over it, which I generally don't see much purpose in its pretty neat.

It's the reason I write in block capitals. It's neater than my cursive chicken scratch. But as I said in my earlier post, if I'm doing a lot of writing my hand will cramp up a lot quicker and it's much harder work than writing cursive.
My signature is atrocious. I've seen people with grand swooping cursive signatures and been right jealous. Whereas I do a big swoopy B for the first letter of my first name and then just give up and scribble a few times. When it comes to those electronic gizmos the postman or delivery guy has I just don't bother trying at all and just scribble on them. It's impossible to write on the bloody things.

Mine is bad. Worse than anyones I have ever seen. But these days with computers it's not as important. It's weird because all my families is good and I am a clever guy. Maybe by being bad at it I gain skills in other areas.
My signature is non existant. It's just my name written badly.

Primer
My hand writing is rubbish, always has been, even when I used to write quite a lot back at school.
Probably down to how I hold a pen more than anything. I remember my teacher at primary school saying I held the pen incorrectly and I should hold it the way that everyone else does. Tried holding the pen the 'correct' way and it was that uncomfortable I went back to how I held the pen before after less than a minute and never changed.
I also hold a knife and fork the wrong way around apparently. I am just full of oddities
