My Real pet hate is rafflcopter Competitions. It's such a faff. I tend to avoid these because i think its too much hassle. They are normally for rubbishy prizes as well

Same. I tried a couple, but they're such a hassle.

I think I might give rafflecopters a rest too. I've never won anything from one. I enter once using a few of the different methods but I'm hardly going to go back every day. Such a faff.

And can I just add- when companies direct message you on Twitter....you excitedly open the message only to see its a 'thanks for following'

Gah!

Posting up comps to then find you've duped someone, and after having spent ages searching for dupes. :mad:

Why do companies like Mars and Galaxy need to know your d.o.b before you enter their site? Grr ...

Sorry you haven't won emails!!!

Companies assuming you have a partner/child when it bears no relation to their company or the competition.
For example, I could understand a baby clothes business asking about your child, but not an interiors magazine.

i dont like the comps that announce the winner on facebook or a website. compers cant remember every entry they make to be able to go and check all the time. they should let the winner know directly. i wonder how many dont get claimed?

Things that bug me:

Captcha type codes where they use a font such that 1, l and I look identical. Or 0 and O. :mad:

Searching for every possible combination of a comp before I post it, and still duping someone.

The fact that I am now completely obsessed with comps, I check my emails & twitter constantly, am never off the forum, and still haven't had a reasonable size win yet :rotfl: (Probably because I get distracted reading threads like this rather than entering the comps!)

Facebook. I can't risk losing my account, as it has my business page attached. So I don't make multiple accounts (against the T&C) or do like&share comps (against T&C) even though I really, *really* want to. Meh.

Rant over.
