I waited to comment so I would not hijack the more pertinent conversation.

I recently received a bill from a well known rental car company 8 months after I had turned in my rental. The bill was for $450 b/c I did not clean the car before turning it in. Customer service explained to me that the contract stated that I must "return the car in the same condition". Oh! Well, ok. LOL. After I appealed, they reduced the bill, but I was "over a barrel" as they say. Just thought I'd share with the community that when renting from the Avis/Budget group, I'll be washing / vacuuming my car in the future as well as getting a signature at drop off.

Until that experience, your analogy made perfect sense (and still does in context).

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom so freely.
