Pass The Ouija Board PLEASE!

Right now I'm sitting next to a pile of forms we sent out at work in order to update contact information, mostly for emergencies. Two things totally perplex me. First, I'm wondering if people intentionally used their sloppiest penmanship. Seriously, if there is an emergency do you not want to be contacted? Please just tell me. Don't use your first grade penmanship.
Even more confusing is when asked for an emergency contact they write their own name. Well, pretty much you are going to be the first contact if say a pipe breaks in your neighbors place and the water is gushing down into your apartment. However, what if you drop dead and we need to call someone. Who should I contact? Hopefully, some family member will eventually notice you are gone and contact me prior to sending you off to Potter's Field. Or I can dust off the old ouija board and get in touch with you in the great beyond...
