What do you do when you can't read someone else's handwriting??

difficult question...its as difficult as trying to understand the handwritting of a person v cant read!!lolz! honestly without wasting time , i would ask him/or her.. but yeah if he's not around and i have got no option, i vil put my imaginations to wroks all ways and even ask for help by other if nothing works out... if the handwriting's really bad, i would simply leave it n next time notreally take up his notes or writings!! i guess tht s the easiest way out!

Frankly speaking, I get irritated if I can't read someone else's handwriting.It is a hindrance to the fast absorption of knowledge. I need someone to read it for me so that I could proceed to the next thing I am going to do.But for the others who can read someone's handwriting, they might be experienced people who love stenography. Prescriptions sometimes hard to read but most of them could be easily read by pharmacist. To the person who wrote it, I rather advise them to make it clear enough for us to read literally.

well.. i have encountered many seemingly undecipherable handwritings, but most of the time, i get their point, as long as i have an idea on what they are talking about. What i can't comprehend are those done with good handwritings but do not put english grammar into good use.

I do everything I can to read it. Try to look things up online. Many times it happesn at work with peoples name and such. If it is to bad, then I'll call. I know my handwriting is bad so I try to type as much as I can. Or let me wife to the writing. Worse case I print in all caps. That seems to work well.

lol my old boss wrote so bad I couldn't make it out half the time. I would guess at as much as I could but I would always end up going ask someone else what it said.

I can read much bad handwriting also , I don't how I can read bad handwriting but I don't get any problem in reading others handwriting. So no matter of speaking to the person who wrote it.
