Don't you hate it when...

...you get a phone call from a business who's comp you entered and they start the convo by reminding you of said comp, you get all excited thinking it's a phone call to say you've won, but actually it's just an offer of a discount on their products or services that all the losers get! :rotfl:


Got all excited there for nothing! :o
