The Irony of a Document Examiner…
Yesterday, I went to the bank to make a withdrawal from my business account. The young teller took my request, gave me a withdrawal form to sign and asked for my DL. She proceeded to line up the documents she had received and kept clicking back and forth on her computer monitor. Next, she called over a senior teller and said “we have this, this and this, and then here is the signature card,” while the senior teller dutifully looked over her shoulder at the monitor.
It took a few moments to register what was happening, and then I asked if they were questioning my signature? I had to laugh and told them that I was a Forensic Document Examiner and Handwriting Expert and handed them my business card. Then, I remembered that I had changed the way I wrote my ‘D’ a couple of years ago and that is why my signature card was different.
I laughed again, but thanked them for making sure my signature was correct and added that if they ever had any questions about someone’s signature to give me a call. The teller kept my business card…
How ironic! A Document Examiner’s own signature was in question. LOL
