    Someone who pulls over (safely) when driving to answer a call because they entered a comp and it might just be that....


    Someone who has several times done the 24 hr comps, think orange balloon race, lotto etc and felt like a zombie from lack of sleep.

    Someone who feels bored till they get a win then gets spurred on for a whole 24hrs! then bored again but carries on as it's habit.

    Someone who can't walk down the high street without saying, "See that shop, I won a ??? with them."

    Someone who won't book anything on Friday mornings, because it will interfere with doing the Friday tweets.

    Anyone who leaves their house, then down the road they see a delivery van coming toward them, and struggles to resist quickly rushing home "just in case it's something for me".

    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • Someone with a comping only phone/phone number and separate comping email

    Me - yes to email (like most folks I should think), but no to phone, so I consider that more "professional" :)

    .......Someone who neglects their family ie gives them no attention and tries to make up for the neglect by giving them countless keyrings, coasters etc that they have won! A professional comper feels guilty, as well as joy, and is probably a very lonely person too...so they turn to the newspapers to gain some attention!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Someone who Google's every missed calls to see who it was. Then gets upset when you find it's a call centre about PPI.

    Like small companies on Facebook that you've never heard of or/and over 200 miles away from where you live.

    Knows not to put a sob story on Facebook because the winner is chosen randomly.

    Thinks about who'll have the cat or dog if you win a holiday prize.

    Feeds the family on the same food every day just to enter the codes inside the box. "Be Quiet Tommy and eat your pizza for your breakfast"

    Someone who finds 300+ emails in the inbox every morning (and opens only the Readers Digest daily entry)

    Someone who gets REALLY ratty if they miss a day's comping cos they are busy at work and frets about the 15 pages they have to catch up with
