This is a hilariously harmless “fucked around and found out” story.

(edit to add alt text)

Pic of a Washington state drivers license with a lot redacted and wall 'o text. Face blotted but attractive young man in a fancy red collared shirt leans sauvely at the camera. Below that are three cartoon cat faces in a row partially overlapping the photo. Text: 2015 I had to renew my license and thought it would be funny to do cat heads as my signature, so I did. For the past 3 years, I just forgot about it unless I had to show my ID and they pointed it out. They would laugh and say, "haha I can't believe they let you do that!" and I would be like, "yeah, yeah, yeah, let me in the bar now". I have alawys signed my name with my regular signature/scribble, not cat heads. This hasn't been a problem until today when I had to sign my mortgage papers. The signing agent looked at me ID and shook his head, he was not amused. I tried to explain that 2015 Brad never imagined he'd own a house. So the dude had to call the title company headquarters and explain the situation all while my real estate agent is laughing her ass off. I had to sign 3 cat heads over 30 times
