Fine print

Fine print is evil it was invented for the parasitic to feed on those of us (me) who never read the fine print. Naturally lazy I rush over large print let alone fine print. Bad habit that and it will end up costing me everything….I bet. So I have to slow down and digest the fine print starting today. Contracts everywhere and people wonder why I left face book and refuse to join anymore of these networks. I feel that they will cost us just read the fine print. Recently I was charged a lot of money for a bunch of magazine I consciously did not order. My bank thankfully chased the vendor and we canceled everything including having to close the account. I am not impressed with how fast and sleazy these companies have become. It seems anyone can be signed into a program that will attach to your credit card and be completely unaware. It is fine print so if you see offers for anything free or trial basis know there is fine print that will charge you eventually down the road. In fact it is guaranteed that you will be dinged a huge amount and the only way to stop charges in the future is to kill the account completely. Fascinating how vulnerable we are. Again fine print is a bugaboo a big monster that will get us. Okay, I may be blowing fine print into a bigger issue then it is for most and some of you relish reading it, I know. It makes me think of rain man the ability to study with interest the minutia of various contracts and special offers. I am lazy though I am a big person (in my head) I like grand sweeping events and things and large font and big print. I am messy and yet I do have order in my life. I just don’t take the time to read the small print the stuff that matters and everything at the bottom of a contract is “the deal” is the matter. So like with eating slow…it is good for us to digest and carefully read the fine print of life; metaphorically too.
