Good for you, a very high percentage of people CAN be bullied into legally "negligible" actions. Most often due to the average person's fear of an attorney bill... and it WORKS in (my guess here) at least 95% of the cases. Businesses, car dealers, spa dealers, contractors, real estate agents who main interest is to see that a deal is closed so all get "paid" (agents, banks, inspectors, title company, all those involved), they all know most people will back off when faced with hiring an attorney.
