For each of our six Covid vaccinations we've had to fill in the same paper form each time, with only the date changing. It is so annoying. They are never checked aside from that the Medicare number being correct so the business does get paid. I feel bad for some people who have long names. I can barely fit my seven letter family name into many forms, and often there isn't enough space for a full postal address.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788740115264422305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-78234452417865761152024-03-07T02:19:02.372+05:302024-03-07T02:19:02.372+05:30Forms are always difficult to fill out. My pet pe...Forms are always difficult to fill out. My pet peeve is the lines to reply questions are always confusing. For example, Name and then followed by Address. There is a line against Name. Am I supposed to write my name above the line or below the line. It is always Murphy’s law. If you write your name above the line, in some forms, it is wrong. If you write your name below the line, in some other forms, it is wrong.

Even the online ones can be oppressive - and restrictive. Sometimes more so than hand-written, for there are character numbers counted and limited. One must simply sigh and 'fit the box'...
