When the UPS guy or delivery person asks you to sign a screen with your finger, do you ask him to provide all the information you are agreeing to before signing it? These are just a few examples of where common sense is needed to get something done.

The most troublesome example is insurance policies. In many cases, the insurance company will not even allow you to see the entire policy document until you have already purchased it. I had a life insurance salesperson curse and hang up on me when I asked him to send me a copy of a policy I was reviewing for a friend. He said the policy was over a hundred pages long and refused to provide a copy.
However long it takes. If it's in writing, I want to read it and if it takes time, then so be it. Tough noodles.
