I once had to visit a doctor in Japan. Everything went fine until they went to print me a prescription and tried to enter my name. After explaining that no, I can't provide my name in kanji they went ahead with it in English.

My name broke the layout of the form on their screen and when the prescription was printed only the first half was shown because the rest ran off the side of the paper.

I guess they don't get many foreigners showing up at the local family doctors clinic.
