    I'm almost tempted to create a trolling comp that asks for sob stories. With a prize of a soup slice.

    Do it! or a
    Lifetime supply of hoover bags for Dyson model of your choice.:rotfl:

    Ha ha! This thread is great. I'm not regular enough to work out the Michigan couple. :rotfl:

    Another thing that I personally find annoying are the people who complain at not winning when the winner has been announced, crying emojis because it wasn't them, that sort of thing. :(

    So soup and a fish slice are the things to aim for are they?;)

    Yes! and the occasional angry face! seriously people?

    Right, The Range FB comps are, in the time honoured phrase, doing my head in now :eek:

    Latest is for a nice toaster/kettle combo, rules as always, but still inundated with sob stories and other comments (with or without the requisite 3 smileys).

    Yet another 'does anyone ever win these' comments - afraid my answer was a bit terse this time...:rotfl::cool:

    A terrible epidemic! No doubt contagious with the amount that have been affected, those poor machines that have served their households on many a gloomy morning, struck down and to be cast out and replaced with a younger, shinier model :rotfl:
    It seems to many, sob stories are as much as a hobby as entering competitions themselves. All the time they must devote to creating and crafting their tales of woe.

    Spotted on a facebook thread from freetreats re them giving away more sweets/chocolates as prizes via checking the site;
    - various people posting things like "love to win please", "yes please", " Liked and shared" & "Fingers crossed"

    Plus "Ohhh Wow yes please..... what a fantastic amazing & generous giveaway. I would be over the moon & thrilled to bits to be your lucky winner. Thank you for the opportunity to win... Happily liked & shared."

    ^ I think they think the prize is of all the chocolate in the photo, not just one bag or box.
