I've gotten a lot of hate for the intense distrust I give any contracts and how open I'm with it. People act like I'm being socially wrong by not trusting what a person says and pointing out how negative the contract is for me, especially when I refuse to sign a contract that most people sign without reading. There is a strong social pressure to just sign and ignore that you are giving away your freedom. This seems even stronger since the person you are signing it in front of is just a sales person who isn't a party to the contract and has no actual say, so they take it personally as if I should just trust their word over the contract written by their lawyer.
