I just turned 18 the legal age for anything I signed to be true and valid. Walked in one of these stores that are book clubs (used to be at least one book a quarter for big money) and before I knew I signed a contract. Totally stunned I walked out the store and said to my mom "I just did something absolutely stupid!". She said it happened to my older (and wiser ;) ) brother as well, so we went home and she showed me the legal and expensive way to get out of a contract (within the cooling period).
