I'm always astounded at how little big business values your time when they want something from you. I've had a reminder email this morning from Paypal saying that they're willing to offer me a WHOPPING £5 virtual voucher for filling in a survey that will take approximately (note "approximately") 15 minutes of my time.
Sorry Paypal. My time to satisfy your marketing research is worth a lot more than £20 an hour.
