    5. Registration forms that don't work.
    4. Getting Long White Envelopes in the post that are actually bills.
    3. Registrations that want my phone number.
    2. When the prize is some sort of experience (trip, spa voucher, etc) but they don't give you enough details to work out if it's something you could even use.

    But the number one pet hate:

    1. When there are a load of tick boxes, some of which must be ticked to enter, some should be ticked to avoid marketing spam, and some shouldn't be ticked, also to avoid marketing spam.

    Forms that don't fill in properly when using Roboform, huge Rafflecopters, telephone calls when you've ticked NO.

    Multiple entry comps, one per person is much fairer :)

    Facebook comps that won't work for me in any browser but work perfectly for my husband in the first one he tries. There seem to be more and more of them.

    I seriously dislike Rafflecopters. Plus I can't work out how to change my email address on it :(

    I just ignore most of them these days :j

    Also, getting a direct message on Twitter and it's just a company advertising their product... get me all excited for nothing! :rotfl:
    Back to comping after a 3-year hiatus :j
  • people who enter EVERY SINGLE Twitter comp then spend most of their time giving prizes away or having to turn them down :mad:
