Survey Times

Is it just me or does anyone else never complete a survey in the time that is given. I did a survey om Mysurvey a couple of days ago and it said time 35 min. 65 minutes later i finished, it was about crisps and by the time I had gone through all those stupid questions and the repeats of the questions I began to wish that I would never see a crisp again. such questions as 'how excited were you with these crisps' How the hell do you get excited about a crisp!!!
Still I did get 150pts.

Why I like surveys: I enjoy giving my opinion and earning a little extra to help out with the shopping now and again and it keeps me occupied.

LOL! I know what you mean, but sometimes i find also that they come out shorter than expected which is a welcome bonus.
So its swings and roundabouts.
I did one last night about smoking and i had to look at pictures and tell them how the picture represents the brand image in my mind! drove me half mad, went on forever!(so boring and repetitive)

Crisps, I love them. Crisps, they are the best,
A crunchy consolation, whenever I'm depressed.
Crisps are the real thing, they make me feel exalted,
Be they cheese and onion, chicken, beef,
Or plain old ready salted.
When I eat a bag of crisps I never want to stop,
How I wish the manufacturers would fill em to the top.
Crisps are delicious, crisps are sublime,
If crisps were illegal I'd end up doing time,
And if ever I was robbed, and all my things were taken,
I pray to God they'd leave behind my bag of smoky bacon.

crusty
About me: I am 62, retired and have never married. I live in a little cottage in the Yorkshire Dales with my presant cat Sarah.
Why I like surveys: Apart from my relatives considering me to be an opinionated old whatsit,they give something to do and the cash helps with the cat treats.

Thank you Lord

Great poetry Terry :)

About me: I love surveys! You can't tell from reading any of my posts, though, can you?! I am a full time worker with two children and a full time house husband, are you jealous?
Why I like surveys: They are fun, interesting and lucrative, not to mention the fact that they can lead to amazing things!

Love the poem, Terry...try this one....

Diet Coke,
What a Joke
It may well keep you lean
But it rots your teeth
And everything beneath
So it's hardly every slimmer's dream!

Love yours too Serena....mine must have got mixed up too...LOL!!:)

And as for the original posting...Crusty, I completely agree....but when you are given a free text box (if they give you one) at the end of the survey, tell them how long it takes to do the survey and then they can warn other people. On the other hand, my son did a 60 minute one for IPSOS for 450 points and it took him only 20 so you are right, Serena, swings and roundabouts!
