Online Surveys, Is it just me or are you tired of them too...
Hi All

It seems like more and more companies (that I actually do business with) are sending out online survey requests via email. I used to participate in them - good citizen that I am, but now it seems to be amping up. If I do every survey, I waste an inordinate amount of my time.

I've started to just ignore the requests. The downside of that is having to ignore it again and again and again as the automated systems keep trying to get me to participate.

It is becoming an irritation. And this morning I am particularly unamused by it.

Can you tell, I just got another one?

They should pay us.

My morning rant is now complete. I will now gleefully enroll me delete key in managing survey requests. I will waste my time no more!

Quite agree, but shouldn't you have designed a poll?

Don't they come with a link to unsubscribe so they will stop sending them to you?

I just ignore 'em - hit delete in emailer.
