in Compers chat corner
I noticed today that when entering comps for really nice prizes I will capitalize my details where necessary by defined standards I learned in school all those years ago.
When entering other comps- like a years supply of dog poo bags- I just whizz the details in with no capitals.
Like it makes a difference..................................
Any other weird inexplicable habits when filling in forms?

    I do that too :D
    I just can't submit a competition form otherwise :rotfl:

    I always have to type my postcode in uppercase too.

    Every time I enter an ITV comp I whisper to myself 'This one' in the hope that indeed 'this one' will be the win. It's now got to the point where I have to say it. So far it has worked 0 times in approx 2000 entries

    TeeHee. Do you play poker and say "One Time" nearly every hand(which kinda breaks the rules!)?

    Haha:rotfl:
    I thought only I did that!
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    Well that's what I always thought but friends/colleagues don't seem to apply that rule and only uppercase the first letter.

    I have noticed it on post received also.

    I thought I was the strange one :rotfl:

    I too have to capitalize my whole postcode, but I have an even weirder one - if there are 3 options, say 'A, B, C' and one is already selected on the form, I have to click on them all once each before selecting my answer. No idea why or when I even started it, but I do it without even thinking about it now
