Do you read the manuals, agreements, and contracts that are often many pages long? I know I don't, unless there is some aspect of something that I need help with. I do have most of the manuals that came with household appliances. I've punched holes in them and keep them in a 3 ring binder. Most of them should probably go into the recycling bin.

Teacher wins $10,000 for reading fine print in insurance policy
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A Florida travel insurance company has awarded a Georgia high school teacher $10,000 for reading the fine print in a policy she recently purchased.
A Squaremouth statement says Donelan Andrews claimed the prize 23 hours after the contest began.
The St. Petersburg-based company says it launched the secret contest Feb. 11. Buried in the fine print was a promise of $10,000 for the first person to send an email to a specific address.
Besides the $10,000 for Andrews, Squaremouth says it’s giving another $10,000 to a children’s literacy charity, plus $5,000 each to the two schools where Andrews teaches consumer economics.
Andrews says she applied for retirement a week before winning the contest. The prize will fund a trip to Scotland with her husband to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary.
