I seriously pisses me off that they make the font so small on the opt-out signage and you get told by a uniform to stare at the camera like you have no choice. Everything you don't fight for ends up getting taken.

I tend to just stop and read the fine print for things that might matter or if I have the time, even if I'm holding up a queue. I've spent several minutes at the entrance gate to a parking building because of the giant poster of T&Cs. I ask librarians to find books for me because the catalogue computer has a multi-screen T&C that I can't be bothered reading. I've turned away a customer from by business because their purchasing conditions included an onerous indemnification clause which they refused to alter. I discovered you don't need ID to travel on local flights because the T&C led me to calling the airline who gave me a password to use instead. I've also found several mistakes in T&Cs that nobody probably notices because nobody reads them.
