A lawyer once boarded a train from Liverpool to Manchester. At first, he found himself alone in the business class carriage. A few minutes later, a beautiful lady entered and sat opposite him. She smiled repeatedly, and eventually moved to sit beside him. The lawyer’s heart leapt with joy.
Then she leaned closer and whispered:
Hand over all your cash, cards, and mobile phone or I’ll scream and accuse you of harassing me.
The lawyer froze. Quickly, he pulled out a pen and paper and wrote:
I’m sorry, I cannot hear or speak. Please write down whatever you want to say.
The lady, thinking she had the upper hand, wrote down her threat and handed it back. The lawyer calmly folded the note, slipped it into his pocket, stood up, and said aloud:
Now go ahead...shout and scream!
Moral of the Story ?
Documentation is powerful.
Once something is written down, it becomes evidence. In this case, the lawyer turned the tables by ensuring the threat was documented in the lady’s own handwriting.
In life and business, documentation protects you. Contracts, receipts, agreements, and even simple notes can safeguard your rights. If you don’t yet know how to properly document your dealings, make it a priority. The law of evidence favors those who can prove their case.
