relatives who moan when you give them wins as presents...well, it took my time and effort to win it, now be grateful! lol
Ha ha! My brother kind of mocks me for the time I spent entering competitions. The same brother who, with his friends, had a free meal at Wagamama for his birthday because I won some vouchers!0 -
Competitions to win a camera that are photo entry

This is more of an amusement than an annoyance but Firefox's autofill function bringing up previous competition answers rather than my personal details. My surname is not Pinky Ponk! :rotfl:0

At the moment, it's those stupid captchas where you have to move things, like the middle bits of Persil tablets into the outer bits (seem to be on the ITV comps)
My pet hate is the Shreddies 'pack granny's suitcase', which seems to mainly on the Closer clickies, because you have to put boxes in a case, and then wait while the daft video loads up, then wait another 5 seconds before you can submit the entry.
Just let us type 'zombie vegan wants graaaaaaaaaaaaiiinnnns' and have done, will ya? It's much quicker!!
Thank you, rant overBEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.
comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j0 -
When you think you've entered a seemingly normal comp then you get an 'you might win if you enter ' email.
( i might be the only one here) haha0 -
comps where you have to like a million random pages that dont seem to have anything to do with a comp and then share or tweet loads of stuff rather than just the comp post!
i also get annoyed with the autofill as always puts wrong info in different boxes0 -
I saw a RC today where you had 67 possible entries. :eek:
I quickly decided to give that one a miss. I don't mind liking/sharing on FB, following/RT on Twitter or making a comment but i'm not jumping through that many hoops. :rotfl:0 -
I hate where you get competitions where you get extra entries into the competition, for getting you friends/family/random people on the interweb to enter to like the page also.0

Accidentally clicking the 'Spam' button on comp threads instead of the green tick!0
