I hate hate HATE when TAs, profs, etc cannot or refuse to write legibly. Seriously don’t bother writing comments that only you can read (I frankly doubt you can read them yourself if I asked you to). Fucking email comments if you must. I asked my stupid TA to please print more clearly when handing back my weekly assignments—I’m not exaggerating, it’s not readable NOT READABLE. Not just hard to read, it’s another fucking language. —I Don’t Know What You’re Telling Me FUUUUUUUUUU

that fucking sucks. did you ask your TA explicitly? like, not a mumbled, timid request…but an explicit complaint? ask your classmates how they deal with it.
Try working in a pharmacy sometime…
they are probly telling you that your writing sucks so bad, that in order to read it, they have to write like you.

I must admit, this is a tough one.
That’s what you get for going to med school. LOL
I used to have the same problem, but when I could read their comments, I realized that most of them were pretty useless anyway.
Hahaha I got an assignment back last week and the prof couldn’t even tell half of us what their comments were…she even admitted as such.
Haha Bluenoser, you’re spot on there. I worked for my Dad in his pharmacy and saw some prescriptions come in that would have taken my entire life to decipher. Hand it to the pharmacist, though, and you’d swear it was a secret code they shared with the doctor….. “oh, that’s such and such a drug at such and such a dosage….”
I work at a data entry place, and HOLY FUCK. People HANDWRITE on god damn forms. Stupid loopy massive handwriting that’s impossible to read. I understand some old people still like to handwrite, but on a FORM? It’s not a god damn spyrograph, it’s a form that someone is going to have to read later you douchebag. We also process mail-in rebates..you would think someone would print clearly to receive their MONEY back but nooope!
spyrograph. wow that brings back memories
Oh, wow, Spirograph . . . . oh, the nostalgia . . .
