Well, when we join a contest, I'm sure the outcome that we want is that we win the contest. Winning contest is one thing, getting the prize is another. Some organizers will ask you to collect the prize within a very short time frame from their office (during office hours summore). And that sucks, because imagine if you were working..how are you gonna go all the way to their office (DURING OFFICE HOURS). And the time frame given for you to collect is like 1-2 weeks and they don't allow representative. -_- ish. Thank God for mama because she helps me collects most of my prizes, if not all :1 So..best thing?
And here are some of the most annoying things that have happen to me when I join a contest.
Yes, this is part of being a sourgrape. But seriously.. won't you be angry either? :1
Usually. When this happens, it's either FB's problem or organizer made a mistake but refuse to admit it. And what they do? IGNORE. My response? BLACKLIST THIS STUPID COMPANY. :1 No integrity. And marketing FAIL.
This is one of the suckiest thing I have experienced this year.
Ish.
So what is the best and worst things that have happen to you when joining a contest? :)
