Exactly, the US. The US is like a massive exception to everything. The last time I ever had to sign for something was in Iceland in 2010 about 3 months after the eruption, can't recall a time before or since then either.

Although I will say working in the education sphere and having previously studied in the music world has most likely drilled it into me to always carry some sort of writing implement at all times.
