I Hate It When....

Options
I hate it when a comp says "win a holiday to..." (flights not included.)

To me, thats not winning a holiday to somewhere, just winning a holiday in or at somewhere.

Anyway, mini rant over, have a great Christmas everyone and thank you to all the comp locators and contributors. :)

    Well, Random post of the day goes to ... OLYCAT :rotfl:

    Probably a bit harsh of a word, Hate ... but daily entry Twitter Gleam competitions are "pure doin' ma nut in" at the moment, namely the BlackCircles Advent, I have to change my (twitter) password at least 3 times a day 'cause it thinks the Gleam app is maliciously posting to Twitter.

    EDIT : I just saw a post in IWIWIW about 5 nights in Vietnam (don't think it included flights) ... I can see why you might find that annoying but I still think it's a decent prize. Vietnam is on my wishlist so for me, that'd be a great prize, but if it was 5 nights in Tenerife I'd bag some cheap flights on Easyjet or something and have a great holiday for, probably, half the price. That's possibly not an option for some people, hence I can see why it might be annoying if you won a "holiday" somewhere and then can't afford to actually get there ... but I think hotel stays are a good prize, generally.

    ACTUALLY! ... I hate it when you watch a "Christmas Special" and think "I quite enjoyed that, that was good" only for the cast to spontaneously burst into some mass carol-singing x-Factor audition type bit of horificness and ruin it all ... not really comp related though :)

    I hate it when I get an email with 'Congratulations' in the subject line, excitedly open the email only to find............'you've entered our competition, good luck'.
