I really can't blame many people for not reading many of the EULAs, terms of service, etc. that they are presented with. Check out the 56 pages of the iTunes agreement which, in my opinion, is a guaranteed cure for insomnia.
OTOH, you have some humourous clauses in some agreements -- check out Gamestation and their immortal soul clause or one website where part of the EULA was that you agreed on demand and at your expense to send your first born child to an address designated by the website unless you opted out by clicking a check box. Or the iTunes weaponization clause "
including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, missiles, or chemical or biological weapons." which, if nothing else is lousy English.
Then there was the ASUS hardware warranty:
There is damage caused by natural disaster, intentional or unintentional misuse, acts of war, space invasions, abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or use under abnormal conditions.
Makes you wonder how many of their customers had hardware damaged by alien attacks.
