The UK has gone survey mad!
We have been getting quotations for work on our house. Everyone we have received a quote from gets a polite yes, or no, from us. If we said no, we helpfully explained why we chose a different company. I am now getting inundated with companies calling me to find out if my 'experience' was satisfactory and did we decide not to have the work done, or did we engage some other company. WHY don't they pass on information already given ... why do I have to keep repeating the same information to different people from the same company ... or is it that they don't trust their staff to tell them the truth so need to confirm what they have been told.
On top of that, we had our car serviced recently (locally), and last night we received an International call asking us to complete a survey on our 'experience' of having our car serviced!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with having a 'local' person call?
'Customer care' is fast becoming a bloody nuisance.
Rant over.

What I hate most ...
... are surveys where none of the tick boxes apply but you have to mark one to proceed!
Why do you feel the need to reply?
ShirlyM, you come over in your posts as a strong-willed kind of gal. Can't you just not reply to the surveys? Or just say that you haven't got time as you have to get your husband's dinner ready :)
Daily Mail
How about the Daily Mail polls that give you 2 options such as 'do you think Cheryl Cole should come back to the X Factor' yes or no when you really want an option that says 'do I look remotely interested, she was as dull as the rest and I gave up on the x factor a few years back'?!
Or the council sites that want to know if every page was helpful to you when actually all you wanted to know was if they were going to collect your rubbish over Christmas and no, the pages you viewed weren't helpful because you still couldn't find the info.
But I sympathise Shirley!
