You dream about comps.
You sit in bed thinking have you done all the daily ones.
You make a cup of coffee and it goes cold while comping.
You make another and the same happens.
You say ten more minutes and 3 hours later your still at it.
You ask the bar staff for wi-fi code to do comping when out.
You turn down requests to go out in flavor of comping.
You kick yourself because your doctors appointment is on Freebie Friday.

Any more?

    when you imagine how you will respond when ITV call you to say you have won one of their comps.

    I have had numerous conversations in my head where ITV have told me I have won thousands of pounds, a car and a holiday!

    If you were addicted you would enter everything on MSE and all the other comping sites, then search the internet looking for more to enter and if there was anytime left make multiple entries to every unlimited entry competition there is - so anyone using comping time to post on CCC is not addicted.:)

    Where were you during Comping 101? The most basic comping equipment includes a commode.
