Signing your credit card receipt
I don't know if this is happening to you, but I'm finding a lot of stores ask to see my ID when I give them a credit card for a purchase. So I just started saying "No - you just need to match the signature on the back of the credit card". That's worked three times out of three. No one has refused the purchase - yet - but I'll keep trying.
Anyway, it reminds me of Zug's story where he completely makes up the signature that does not at all resemble the signature on the back of the card. It's a pretty funny read.

At the Target I go to they have a little box that you put your credit card into, then you sign the screen. I usually draw pictures and other things on the screen, but they never notice or care.
