What's your pet hate about comping?

I hate it when Roboform fills in a form all wrong and I have to type in my details - yes TYPE IN MY DETAILS! I am lazy hee hee hee

I also hate it when Roboform won't fill in a form at all!

I hate some of the cheesy comments people post under a comp on Facebook like....

'What a beautiful sunny day out there - I do hope everyone has a pleasant day.....' (Emmmm and what is the point?)

'I hope I win, I have never won anything in my life!' (Yeah right - and if you think the promoter will pick you because they feel sorry for you - think again!)

'Good luck to everyone' (NOT - admit it - YOU want to win and you don't really want to wish every other entrant luck - you are just trying to lick A$$!!)

I hate emails that have the header *congratulations!!!!* and when you open it they continue with *to mrs xyz from outer mongolia who won our recent comp for our super duper prize!*
If I didnt win, dont email me at all let alone a congratulations email for someone else!

Not so much a hate but annoyance at hotel comps that are posted without the area its in (preferably in the title), ok if the website is VisitScotland, I can work it out but for other sites it helps people like me that are rubbish at georgraphy :rotfl:

Comps that dont give you a confirmation your entry has gone through!

And finally replies to *to enter our fab comp just tell us what would you do with the prize* that are always 'donate it to charity'. A lovely thought if true, but how can you tell? (though I did enter a comp on FB not so long ago that specifically said no sob stories or mentions of charity donation as they would be disregarded as they wanted the comp to be fun for all, so maybe the gods heard my moans )

Getting an email with the name of the comp as the subject only for the body of the email to be 'unfortunately' 'sorry' 'better luck next time' etc

This is defo one of my pet hates to! All the others I can tolerate but thinking I won and I haven't? KILL JOY!:(

'Title" drop down menus that only have Mr Mrs and Ms as options. I'm a 'Miss'!

I have been known to put the wrong answer to a question despite the correct answer a) being obvious and b) clearly stated in the original post.

And frequently despite a post stating 'watch the tickboxs' pressed submit and then notice those pesky tricky tickboxs.

Must pay more attention when comping....

I think you may have been writing about me here. I have done both these things. Especially with the mag dailies. I have ticked that Charlotte Bronte wrote the famous five more than once, when I know full well that it is Enid Blyton. I am glad it is not me.

I'm the same only the opposite - menus that only have Mrs Mr and Miss. I'm a Ms - can't stand Miss (though wouldn't complain if I won a comp I had to enter as Miss ) (To me it's no business of anyone's if I'm married or not, Mr doesn't stipulate so why should a woman's title)

My pet hate is comps for family holidays (particularly those run by supposedly family friendly sites) that can't be taken during during school holidays.

In in my opinion we should do away with Miss and Mrs (or Ms and Mrs, but definitely two of them).

It seems increasingly silly and old-fashioned to have three different salutations to show people what our marital status is.

I "hate" it when it has no option for Lord,Dame or Sir.

What will the posh compers do


After all the ConDems tell us we are in Austerity Times so maybe they comp as well.
