What's your pet hate about comping?

You got edited :j :j :eek:

I probably deserved that. :whistle:

And I love the fact they put in reason language when I know I used asterisks.

I know captchas are useful and stops people from 'cheating' ie running macros to enter ALL the comps in seconds, but they're still annoying.

Having to sign up for newsletters

Rafflecopter alltogether annoys me

Voting contests, it's more about popularity than substance.

:rotfl: Yes, so it's only those with dirty minds that filled in the asterisks with rude languages, who result in your post being edited... I'm sure you meant something very wholesome, rather than what others' dirty minds sunk to... :A

When you've been playing the OXO Facebook game every day since it started, you've won diddly squat, and then, the 'congratulations' screen comes up and you get excited...................


And then you realise when you read it properly that you've won a 50p off voucher :mad:

Ah, well. Same again tomorrow? :rotfl:

The fact that despite me always ticking the box to say I don't want any contact from 3rd parties etc that i'm getting loads of spam calls & texts from 3rd parties. :mad:

That's odd... Are you sure it's from comping? As if the comps you're entering are the same ones as me (I enter most that appear on MSE - 400 entries on a good day), I don't get those problems at all. No increase in spam, and no increase in texts / calls.

That said, it only takes one false move (a missed box, or a non-legit comp entry) to trigger a whole load of spam :mad:

A few of the calls have been Energy companies trying to get me to change suppliers so probably off one of the sites where I always tick no thank you i'm not interested to everything. :cool:

Some where from finance companies saying they have recently received my contact details cos i'd filled out an online form saying I was struggling with debt (I definitely haven't so assume my details have been sold on). :mad:

They're so naughty :mad:

Nothing surprises me about the energy companies - all these fines they get, and they still persist in underhand tactics... :mad:
