typical reddit/r/legaladvice post: "person X put their car / house / student loans / business in person Y's name, just as - you know - a <gestures> paperwork thing - but now creditors / the federal government / the DMV / the police / the IRS are acting as if this is Y's thing"

I'd love to go back to the time when words meant things. If that time ever really existed. Legal documents shouldn't be "Jedi handwaved" away though. Our entire system stands on the rule of law and it seems like more and more laws across a wide spectrum mean zilch.

I’ll confess my guilty pleasure: *sometimes* when I see people caught up in their own shit because they deliberately ignored how the world works, my Schadenfreud rises to the level of a Schadenboner. The college admissions thing being a case in point.

I recall you did a thread a long ways back about 'handshake deals' and why they simply don't work and everything should be in writing. A lot of people still function on the idea that the written contract is a 'formality' and there's a lot of implied terms that are 'unspoken.'

Cousin Jeb lends you $100 and you promise to pay him back, but its unwritten, and you both kinda know he won't be an asshole about deadlines as long as you are making good faith effort to pay it back. Informal social norms people get used to, and expect to carry over to work.
