Fine Print World

September 10th, 2010 by John Feehery

We live in a fine print world.

The devil is in the details, as the saying goes, and boy, the devil is having a field day these days.

You leave your phone on while you travel into a foreign country, and the next thing you know you are facing bankruptcy because of excessive roaming charges.  When you complain, hey, you should know better.  It’s in the fine print.

You pay a day late on your credit card; the bank slaps you with a huge late payment fee. When you complain, hey, you should know better.  It’s in the fine print.

You have to change your flight because of a family emergency, but the airline makes you pay through the nose for privilege.  When you complain, hey, you should have known better.  It’s in the fine print.

You use a social networking site for fun, and all of sudden, you get deluged with all kinds of crazy advertisers.  When you complain, hey, you should have known better.  It’s in the fine print.
