People really need to learn that there&#x27;s no such thing as a boilerplate contract, everything is up for negotiation, and when somebody tells you to sign something and not worry about it because &quot;we never enforce that anyway&quot; then they&#x27;re either bullshitting you or they&#x27;re complete idiots.<p>This sort of thing ought to be taught in high school, along with other basic adult concepts like how to get a bank account, how credit cards work, how to vote, and how to pay taxes.<p>It&#x27;s bizarre how such important things are left to each person to learn on their own on an ad hoc basis.
