What's your pet hate about comping?

Last Pass and phone numbers! :mad:


PLEASE someone tell me there is a way to change the 44 to a 0. Try as I might I can't get it to change which means every. single. time I have to change it to a zero. Now, in the big scheme of things that's not so bad but when you're doing the ITV comps and you have to change the phone number 12 times over the 6 forms it gets old.

First world problems. eh?

It gets my goat when I receive an email to ask me to confirm my subscription/entry and then another straight after to say 'subscription/entry confirmed'! If emails were paper just think of all the poor trees!

Definitely my next FB story.

There's one on John Lewis facebook right now full of comments of people desperately trying to get a hamper for their sick/overworked/disabled husbands/mothers etc., problem is the original post doesn't seem to actually be a competition.

When people use their birthday as a reason why they should win. Um, everyone has a birthday, and their will be thousands if not millions with their birthday on the exact same date as yours; it's nothing special.

Another pet hate is when people complain on twitter about other people winning a lot, but then the next week they win a number of prizes; not complaining then are we?

OH! And competitions where you have to get a high score to win. I just plain suck, and no doubt some people will be cheating with software anyway, so they seem pretty pointless to me.

Long entry forms that ask for everything short of your NI number and how many GCSE's you have, like the Female First form. Why TWO questions for marital status? Then they don't even have the decency to retain the information if you enter another comp straight after.

I had this problem for ages, eventually I took the 44/ 0 out of the auto fill form completely and it added the 0 in automatically, if that makes any sense?

If you enter your phone number with a leading zero, it will exclude the country code when filling.

Holiday competitions that think all families are 2 adults and 2 kids under 12. Just seen a Guardian comp that says if you don't fit that criteria they reserve the right to take the prize off you - bit harsh.
