The Dumbest Contracts We’ve Been Roped Into
The art of the sale is a manipulative one. You walk in with a functioning brain, and a salesperson does a rope-a-dope on you and you walk out with a timeshare, a car you can’t afford or worse.
Today we are talking about the dumbest, silliest, stupidest agreements we’ve fallen into. Whether it was our own brains convincing us it was a good idea, or the power of persuasion took over.
Aimee has been bamboozled before by her son’s karate class. Of course her son Jayden was really impressing the instructor, and she should definitely sign him up for more classes, and she should definitely buy protective gear, buy belts, buy a massive bag for all of his stuff. Hook, line and sinker… and all of a sudden he was in a one-year contract. She couldn’t wait to end the classes… and neither could he.
I got roped in by his wife to a “free” photoshoot at a local studio. Well, it turns out free costs an asinine amount of money. The 15 minute photoshoot resulted in mom and dad being pulled into a second room with their kids playing next door, being played a tearful, joyous playlist of the pictures from the photoshoot, a timeshare-like salesperson who fawned over their family so hard that we were convinced he wanted to be adopted, and the hard-sell for printed canvases. Watch the video to find out how much they were trying to get for the canvas. Your jaw will hit the floor. Legit. It will make your blood boil.
We’ve all done dumb things. What’s the dumbest contract or agreement you’ve been roped into. And don’t say marriage, we’ve gotten that 30 times!
