I'd like to talk (ok, it's a rant) a bit about Contest Ettiquette. First off, if you're calling in for a contest and you get through as the right caller - KNOW what contest you're calling for! SO many times I hear someone going, "Oh... isn't this for <insert other contest here>?" or "Oh, I don't know the answer, I just heard the cue to call so I thought I'd try," So please, for those of us who DO know what's going on and really want to win something, KNOW what you're doing before you do it. If you don't, then don't call and give those of us who want to win a better shot at winning.
Secondly, if you get through and you're on air, for God's sake, don't take your time. Say your guess as soon as you can without being rude to the DJ's. Hemming and hawing and consulting with others beside you just annoys the rest of us who are listening and would like to get on with our day.
And last, most radio stations have this rule - you can't win within 30 days (sometimes longer) if you've just won something. Some stations don't, but honestly, why be greedy? If you've just won something on a contest earlier in the day, give someone else the chance to win. One station I listen to has that happen ALL the time - the same guy won the Las Vegas trip and then he won the Rolling Stones trip. C'mon - I get the thrill of the game, but give someone else an experience, spread the love, yanno? It's difficult enough to get in on these contests without someone winning at 8:15 and then again at 8:45. Sure, if you're on the winning end, you're probably thinking, "why the hell not?" but if you're on the dialing-repeatedly end, you may be thinking, "what the hell?!"
That's my monthly rant. I'm sure I've offended someone, but this is a personal blog so I can :P But it wasn't intentional.
