What's your pet hate about comping?

fletcher99

i hate the forms where you have to pick your town/city from a list and cant just type it in - i live in a small town/larg village that is never on list so have to pick leeds or manchester instead as in middle.

changing the 44 to 0 is really annoying too. sometimes i leave it!!

all the different types of captchas - mainly just type the numbers shown now but also get the click to play video that reveals code, the answer the survey cpatcha, the fill in the missing word from a list captcha and the choose th 2nd 7th and 9th letter from shown word captcha as just gets confusing

filling in a huge form for it to tell you that you missed something or forgot to tick box so have to redo form as its cleared it all

and my worst hate is ticking and unticking hundreds of boxes in tiny writing that you would miss if you wernt looking - i hate my mailbox full of junk so always tick/untick to say i dont want messages especially if have phone number

putting a phone number only to have company ring few hours later trying to sell you something

The sheet volume of spam email and marketing calls I've gotten since I started. The spam I don't mind so much but I get at least two marketing calls a day since I started doing comps that require a phone number.

- Like and share comps on FB (avoid them like the plague!)
- CAPTCHAS (urgh)
- Comps that don't let you enter unless you sign up to mailing lists etc
- Never winning anything on Twitter
- Emails that get you excited and make you think you've won something when you haven't. Not cool!

Tick wherever you like your details are being sold on anyway.

Me too & they are companies that say they've been given my details and are usually not even applicable to me.

The 44 thing that saves on numbers annoys me! And how the tick boxes always change around so I have to actually read them!
