I know first graders who have better handwriting than me.
Yep! I was a teachers aid for a first grade class, and I had to mark test papers in a certain colour so the teacher would know what I wrote and what they wrote.
My penmanship in general is horrible and people have trouble reading it on a regular basis. I haven't done handwriting (cursive) since I was forced to in school, I actually failed grade 2 and the main reason is because I refused to try to learn cursive and would ONLY write in printing.
The thing that bothers me the most, though, is the teachers that gave me such trouble about my penmanship being so bad... They were also the ones who couldn't even read their own writing on a regular basis.. At least I can always read mine.
