Scrivener's Terror
Attorneys are often maligned for being unneccessarily long-winded; hey, when you're billing at a couple hundred dollars an hour, why not?
I just never realized it might extend to property descriptions - the "Southwest corner of the West 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4" can also be described as the "Southwest corner". I bet the client had his or her lawyer draft the deed, and was then billed by the letter.
(Note: If you are an attorney, please come back again - I'll go back to making fun of surveyors and making cheap puns.)
