Prob going to get flamed but -
Noticed a few competitions running on Facebook at the moment. There is one for a stay in a cottage and one to win a weekend in a hotel. The people that are running the competitions have asked for the usual tag and share and for people to say what they would do while they are there and they would choose one. Started off great with people saying how they would spend the day in a certain place and then the sob stories started with people saying they are ill or someone they know is ill and that's why they deserve it or that they have had a tough year because of this that and the other and literally begging for this trip away.
Had to laugh at a lady who put she deserved it as her snowman has melted.
Prob going to come across as so heartless but I think everyone could come up with something and if the people running the competitions had asked for why you deserve this weekend away then far enough but they didn't. My DH is in hospital at the moment and we have suffered some heartbreaking bereavements this year but I would not have dreamed of saying this to try and get a weekend away.
So aibu to say if i was running it I would steer away from the sob stories and pick someone else. Runs and ducks under the covers
