[quote:Anonymous Coward 1412275:MV8xNTE2NzU5XzI1MDEzOTkxXzc1NUI1REZF] [quote:Mukk1234] I lost over 75k on a handshake deal. That was the last time I trusted anyone in business dealings I should say.... But it was by the shaking of the hand, looking in the eyes and meaning what we say. I delivered and when it came time for the payday.....well you know the rest of the story... [/quote] Trust but confirm! Sorry about your bad event. That sucks. Hope you were able to go after the bastard. [/quote]

Throwing out a Saturday morning topic.....
Why is it that it seems everyone these days is always someone else? It seems that there is an underlying motive or personality that always rears in the times when doors are finally being opened.
Are the days of the handshake deal really gone? If not, where are these people that mean what they say and say what they mean?
Trust, to humanities detriment, has become a multifaceted term that at one time meant something. Something that was attached to a length of time. These days, it's 'trust while convenient'. Don't hand out something whole, unless you are ready to get it back in jagged pieces, tied to mendacious reasoning.
"Let's make a deal", "I'll pay you back", "
I mean what I say
"
Why is this getting so bad?
