Gutted -How did i win a prize i didn't want

The_3rd_Zebu

If the OP had received a cheque for £50 for a competition he believes he had not entered I wonder whether he would still be upset.

:rotfl:

OMG why even post about the win, if you didnt want it .. this thread is so pointless.

Hmmm slight ott reaction! So you got a prize that you didn't really want-it's hardly the end of the world and i'm sure someone out there you know would appreciate it even if you don't.

Well done on your win! Be happy with it - my first comp win a couple of years ago were some anal beads that I opened in front of my future mother in law. Be grateful!

Oh my goodness I'm cringing just imagining that, can't imagine how you felt but I imagine it was a little like this - :embarasse.

Im a member of a couple of swap groups on facebook, and last night something was posted on one of them and i can see where compers get the nickname 'vultures' from, this win was won within 20 minutes it was on one of the groups, a nice item to win aswell, sorry but why enter a competition for a nice prize and within 20 minutes its on a swap group.:mad:

Maybe, vwcampervan, they entered hoping to win a different prize from a competition.
Or maybe they didn't even enter like the OP.

Each to their own and if that's not what you like to do then no-one forces you.

I personally use the swap groups to swap for presents suitable for christmas. I had a win turn up yesterday morning that won't be of use to me anymore. It would have been if it had been delivered when the comp ended. I added it to a swap group in the hope I can help someone for christmas in these hard times and get something in return I can use.

Maybe you shouldn't interact with these so called 'vultures' if it offends you so much
