I tried renting a uhaul very last second a couple years back at the rental location. I was standing in the office, just me and the one single employee working that day.

As part of the rental process I had to give my phone number. At some point the employee says something like "You should get a text message with a link in a couple seconds, click the link and fill out the form and you'll be good to go."

To which I responded 'I don't have a smartphone, I can't click a link. How else can I fill out the form?'

Apparently there was no other way. He thought about it for a minute, then just took a picture of my license and handed me the keys. It's been 3 years and I never heard anything about it, so I figure I got lucky. I just know that if I ever find myself in that situation again karma will catch up with me and it will be a big issue.

What happened to the days of signing some papers on a clipboard?
