The video shows perfectly why unwritten/verbal/implied contracts are to be avoided at all cost.
Against my better judgement I recently completed some work without a written contract. It was exactly like the restaurant scene: they'd received the services and used them but started questioning the bill (after it became overdue).
I still find it strange that people view other people as a commodity like oil or pork bellies yet they expect ridiculous returns, akin to a barrel of oil spontaneously duplicating and selling itself for $300
- billswift 16y agoI used to work for an architectural and landscape designer and builder. After getting a judgement against him when a client took him to court, he quit using written contracts and instead went to week-by-week meetings with clients and billing on the same basis, so neither ran away with misunderstandings or too great sunk costs. It worked pretty well for the next 25 years, until he retired.
