Selling your soul to the devil

glamlovinkitty

Oh man. This board has given me a laugh. I have two twitter accounts - one for 'normal' twitter and one just for comping. It fairly opened my eyes seeing the rubbish people write to try and win an 'AMAZING!!!' five quid amazon voucher. The worst I saw recently was a simply follow/RT comp and someone had posted up their ultrasound picture saying the voucher would be fantastic for buying things for their little new arrival *voms*

It's not so much the sob story, but it folk insisting on spelling 'Losing' as 'loosing' :mad:
It's like when someone I know types 'threw' for 'through' and this weekend they were drinking 'larger'
It gets right on my thrup'nies. :mad::p:D:mad:

The one that gets me every time is 'could have' written as 'could of'

Makes me want to pick up my laptop and smash it over my head

Yep, and when people use they're instead of their. I mean, the clue is in the word! Is it 'they are' bag? No! Of course not! It's 'their' bag. It wouldn't bother me quite so much if they wrote 'there' bag. Grrr

Here's one for anyone who is missing a good ol' sob story for a fairly naff prize.

Head over to the 'Footway' Facebook page.

Plenty of baby pics lately. I suppose politicians have been using them for decades. but to win a randomly selected comp!!!

I saw one the other day where you just had to like the post and amongst the usual sob stories someone had written something along the lines of "I usually write a sob story to try and win but I am not winning so will not bother" :eek:
