Stupid surveys! :(

I'm a bit annoyed at some surveys I get sent, like the ones from Ciao (I've just given up on them) that pay 10p for 50 minutes effort... It's ridiculous! It's like they're taking advantage of the fact that we need the money. I just did the longest survey of my life for £1.20, which I'd never have done if I'd read the email properly (stupid me!). It asked me if I was interested in football to which I responded "no" but it kept on asking me over 20 questions about football, and made me match sponsors up to teams and stuff. I have NO clue.. I really see no point in me answering. Then it asked if I had a driving license, and I ticked the "provisional" box, and the next question was if I drove a van?! If I can't drive, why would I be driving a van of all things?! :mad:

Sorry lol, just had to rant about that...

I dont mind some of them... lightspeed and value opinions' surveys are usually ok and dont take more than about 15 minutes and seeing as i only do them when i have nothing better to do, making a little money is better than nothing.

Something that grinds my gears with a lot of surveys though, and Toluna seems to be the worst, is when you answer about twenty questions, then they inform you that you're not part of their target group!

I'm sure they do that as a scam to get the answers theyre looking for then not provide a payout.
