(not the actual photo)<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Contracts matter, even if we don\u2019t always read them<\/h3>\n<p>While this person was right to reach out for legal advice, the reality is that they might need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hardest-client-defend-court-lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"noopener \">proper lawyer<\/a> in this case. As many of the commenters noted, a contract is a contract, not something one can just break easily and without repercussions. After all, if we treated contracts as mere \u201csuggestions,\u201d large segments of society would fall apart quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, humans have been using contracts roughly since some of our ancestors stopped being hunter-gatherers and started practicing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasury.gov\/resource-center\/terrorist-illicit-finance\/Documents\/FinCEN-Hawala-rpt.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">agriculture<\/a>. After all, growing and harvesting crops takes time, months even, so there already was a need to make commitments for work, payment and food.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, verbal agreements might be ok with a trusted friend or family member, but with a stranger, it can easily turn into a case of he-said, she-said, with no way of ascertaining the truth. We have records of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meisterdrucke.uk\/fine-art-prints\/Mesopotamian\/255140\/Tablet-with-cuneiform-script-detailing-a-contract-for-selling-a-field-and-a-house,-from-Shuruppak,-c.2600-BC-.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sumerian contracts<\/a> that are over six thousand years old, covering things like the sale of land and a house.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"post-desktop-ad-within-content post-ads margin-left\"><span class=\"dfp-ad\"><span><span class=\"pg-ad-label\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most legal systems from then on had ample laws and regulations around how to draw up contracts and the responsibilities of both parties. Indeed, while you might not be staring at paperwork every single day, if you have a \u201creal\u201d job, chances are you\u2019ve signed a contract.

Most of us don\u2019t perhaps read through a contract for \u201csimple\u201d things when switching apartments or starting a new job, but this story should be a reminder of why that is quite important.<\/p>\n<p>Because, as many of the commenters note, the photographer did agree and sign the document. Yes, the \u201chappy couple\u201d changed locations so frequently, but there was an understanding that the wedding would be held further away from the photographer. It\u2019s not unreasonable to assume someone you hire can actually transport themselves. The conditions and pay weren\u2019t great, but the photographer had free will and wasn\u2019t under duress when they decided to agree.<\/p>\n<p>After all, you wouldn\u2019t sign on to do a job you weren\u2019t actually capable of doing. If the couple had offered to organize transportation then didn\u2019t handle it, the photographer would be off the hook. Unfortunately, this is going to have to be a learning moment for them. It might cost a bit, but better learn this lesson now and not in the future when the penalties might be a lot higher.<\/p>\n<h3>Despite it all, readers still tried to offer some helpful advice<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"post-desktop-ad-within-content post-ads margin-left\"><span class=\"dfp-ad\"><span><span class=\"pg-ad-label\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-desktop-ad-within-content post-ads margin-left\"><span class=\"dfp-ad\"><span><span class=\"pg-ad-label\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-desktop-ad-within-content post-ads margin-left\"><span class=\"dfp-ad\"><span><span class=\"pg-ad-label\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n<div id=\"postPoll-10957003\" class=\"post-poll poll-wrapper single-post\" data-poll-viewed=\"false\" data-post-id=\"10957003\" data-main-post-id=\"\" data-poll-id=\"28835\"> <input class=\"post-10957003-poll-value\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"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\"\/> <\/p>\n<div data-bind=\"if: isInitialised()\">\n<div data-bind=\"if: !isLoading() &amp;&amp; isShowingResults\">\n<div class=\"poll-content\">\n<h3 class=\"answered-content-title\">Thanks!
