The yes no game

What have you ended up with by hitting the wrong box (yes or no etc.)

I received a T.M. Sim today (giff gaff another time)

An American village residency welcome pack

Texts from that annoying lotto txt service

Calls from an investment broker


They should allow you to confirm yes or no. (dailies) They are booby trapped, one peril is when they change the order!

    Just had a few emails I think. I don't put any phone numbers on the Dailies Account Forms just in case. Had to put load of zeros on to change the ones I had put on though as they didn't let me remove them.

    Mainly spam, I think. I have at least twice done this with the magazine dailies. They're soooooo sneaky. As soon as you hit 'yes' it closes, and I think they spam you straight away. Every time I've done this, I've immediately backspaced to the previous page, so start that entry again from scratch, but I'm sure they've punished me for every wrong 'yes' click.

    Just cos I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me :eek:

    I think OMG :eek:

    I often miss the tick boxes on AB Radio cos at the bottom. (after submit) Gord knows what spam they send!

    There should be a law to opt in for everything! (some are tick opt in and tick out on the same form:eek:)
  • I have noticed recently how much and often some companies bombard you with emails.

    Just recently I have entered comps on "Never Undressed" "Sheer Luxe" "Huffington Post" and "Pandora" and I have subscribed. I don't mind the odd email but what really really annoys me is these companies have been sending me emails every single day and sometimes more than once a day :mad: Do they honestly think that we want a daily email or twice, three times a day email?

    Needless to say I have unsubscribed to them all.

    I have had a sim card turn up today that I don't want or need, so I can only assume I have missed a tick box on the mag daillies. You would think that this would be a total waste of their money, since anyone that really needed another sim card would hardly wait until they were entering a competition and decide to get it that way. I reckon that 99.9% of the ones they send out this way will end up in the bin. What a waste of postage.

    I had the Huffington Post one for a while, but as said it was every day, so I clicked to unsubscribe.

    It was ignored, and are still arriving, so I marked it as spam and they now go straight into my junk folder.

    I hate it when you press submit then think to yourself '' noooooooo'' because you have just noticed the tick boxes!!

    I get so much junk though. I'm glad gmail have seperated the main emails from promotions.
