Not a pet hate as such, just extra effort required.
I'm just entering some of the Candis comps and the security question is like asking me to do sums :eek:

They want me to answer " ? + 9 = 14" I mean I'm good at arithmetic but I've had a hard day at work & few bottles of lovely cider (from a win i might add). I should win purely for attempting to answer it... I'm actually using my fingers to count:rotfl::rotfl:

In Canada, all their comps have to have some kind of sum as a 'skill test' :rotfl:

:mad:I hate it when it has taken you ages to fill in a form - cachpas, telephone number, scrolling down for sneaky tick boxes, and address problems, etc, etc. Then just as you hit the enter button you see it is mainland UK only!!! AAaaarrrrggghhh!!!!!!!! :mad:

At the moment chasing up missing prizes and being addressed as if I am at fault for doing so.

This last month I have chased up at least 6 prizes after waiting over 28 days! You are right - we are made to feel like we are the ones in the wrong!

My cat hates all the comps for dogs. Dogs are his enemies.

Relatives who moan they haven't won, for you to only find out they maybe entered 1 competition in the last month.
Also relatives who moan when you give them wins as presents...well, it took my time and effort to win it, now be grateful! lol

My pet hate is some of the sob stories people feel they need to write on FB comps. You know, things like 'I need to win this so I can take my two legged, one eyed cat to Australia to meet his birth mother who abandoned him and is now dying of Spanish flu'

My other is reading of people who have entered and won a comp but then live too far to take the prize or simply don't want it. Why enter in the first place?

I hate the competitions which ask which city you live in. I don't live in a city, I don't live anywhere near a city - my nearest city is in a different country - Grrrmph
