Why do people make scribbles when they are signing documents?

Asked by Sneki95 (7017points) October 5th, 2016

I noticed this when I was looking into some documents and saw signatures of different people. Seldom does any of them write their name clearly, most write their names very sloppily. Some of them literally just scribble whatever and make it their “signature”.

It is just being lazy or is there anything behind it?I mean, if you just scribble something on the paper, doesn’t that mean anyone can do the same and make it as if you signed it? Or is it easier to falsify a document if you write your name clearly?
