Well, that was enough excitement to last this blog a while. Obviously nothing as comment-gathering as The World’s Biggest Icicle but it definitely carries more weight. This is the last I will mention it, unless I am able to recover the content.
Onto my next topic, such is the world of blogging…
I’ve been fired up lately about people who don’t read terms and conditions. You know, those pesky, ridiculously long disclaimers that come attached to pretty much everything in the world now, except maybe, babies. (I don’t know, I don’t have any?)
Why would you apply for a credit card without reading them? Why would you install hard- or software on your system without reading them? What kind of person are you? Do you live under a rock? Were you so ill-educated? The tragedy is, yes. Most of the world is ignorant in regards to terms and conditions. Please, read them. Don’t just assume. If you assume it’s a good deal, it really isn’t. Dumbass(es).
Would you sign a contract without reading it entirely? Would you rent a car without going over the specifics?
Slow down, people. Read it. Think about this – why would corporations come up with all that shit if there wasn’t a purpose to it? Just to give some Joe minimum wage at a summer internship? [note: sarcasm.]
Obviously there’s a lot more background to why I’m seemingly randomly bringing this up…but I really can’t be arsed to put it all down. It’s late and I’ve had a long day; I need sleep. And a new job.

well sometimes i might just sign the fucking piece of paper because i’m in a hurry and i can’t be arsed to read the fucking fine print. why is it so damn fine anyway? it never SAYS anything fine…maybe about fines or being fined, but anyway.
yes, i am a dumbass, as evidenced by my stoopid laptop issues.
and i suppose i could be under a rock. *looks up* it certainly FEELS heavy enough to be a rock….
