What's your pet hate about comping?

Not really comping anymore, but I hated it when there was so much happening on the page that it takes ages to find the form or ages for it to stop loading.

The email inbox I used for comping is full of junk (1900 unread emails) and I can't be bothered to go through and delete them ... this is why I hate the 'sign up to our newsletter' ones.

Can't remember which comp it is but there's one that has a box saying 'email address' and a second box saying 'confirm address', the times I've entered my postal address into that then realised they mean 'confirm email address'!....more haste, less speed

My comping pet hates:

1. Obsessively checking my e-mails for wins only to find 'sorry you didn't win' e-mails.

2. Feeling like I don't want to go out before the postie comes incase I miss a prize, only for the postie to walk past with no mail.

3. The doorbell rings and I can see someone holding a parcel only to be told it's for one of the other flats and could I sign for it.

4. Neglecting other things that I should be doing because I want to get my comping done first!

5. Wins don't match up to the amount of effort put in to entering comps.

6. Comps I can't enter because it won't let me put my address in (ie. ones you have to put your postcode in and it finds your address but it will only display another flat number & you can't change it manually).

I feel much better for that! It's good to have a whinge now and then. I had some nice wins last month but nothing so far in October and am feeling a little flat...

people who bump topic to say its expired or to thank, its not needed

those who bump facebook/twitter comps to say how many likes/followers the page has, again its not needed

London centric prizes like a spa day which doesn't include transport. The price of a train ticket usually outweighs the value of the prize.

Competition organsiers who don't announce winners. Makes me very suspicious that there was ever a prize to start with.
