>that failure to do so is childish. In many areas of life I've found that culturally we have been trained to view anyone who sticks out as being childish regardless of the merit of their grievances. For example, if someone lies to me and signs me up for a contract I did not agree to (such as adding on extras that I didn't agree) and I react negatively, I'm seen as childish and they are seen as doing their job, even though they committed fraud. Demanding to see a contract and read it before I sign it is seen as being a disruption (because they lose business for an hour while I read the contract). I once refused to sign a statement saying a work order had been fulfilled because of wording saying that signing the work order as having been done counted as signing some other documents. I was viewed as the bad guy in the social situation because the serviceman would not be paid for the work (since I didn't sign the work order) even though it was their company who made it so that signing for the work order being complete also signed other legal documents I didn't want to agree to. I looked the part of the asshole, not the company. The tin foil hat wearer in me wonders if our society has been pushed in this direction on purpose as it benefits faceless corporations.
