    Why do requesters shove like a 1000 questions into a hit and pay like .50- 1.00....
    Or like you can start a hit nice and calm but when you finally finish you just want to kick some ass cuz that hit took too damn long.
    Is it just me or what...I mean I normally am a very calm person, but some of the hits and the multitude of questioning has left left me walking away from the pc after doing a hit a few times!!!
    Ok my moment of venting is done until I come across another loaded hit!!!(NOTICE I DID NOT SAY SHIT, FOR THAT'S THE LADY IN ME!!!)

    I have experienced the exact same frustration. Now I don't do HITs unless I know the exact amount of work required (percentage monitor at bottom of page).

    There actually was a requester who put up a survey fo 10c saying it took 10 to 15 minutes.The thing was to qualify you had to fit a certain demograhic which I would estimate to be less that 10% . I emailed her and said I wanted $1.50. She never replied, but the next posting offerred 80c. Somehow that made me feel a real sense of satisfaction. I didn't get what I wanted, but I didn't give in to her BS.

    Hi. :)
    Anyone heard that out there, in the real world, a global economical crises is running like hell ????? :(
    Didn't you notice that more and more requesters that payed $0.05 , $0.08 lowered to $0.01?
    That's life... We'll live again better times, perhaps...

    This is why I don't bother to protect my returns percentage. That and because requesters rarely care about it. :)

    I say stand up for yourself. Walk away from those HITs. Just because they hooked you doesn't mean they should get to gut you!

    Is that why some of those surveys asked "do you feel angry?" :)

    i love the repeated questioning of my mood in some surveys...specially the lengthy ones....lol
    At first my mood starts off with "do you feel angry?", I reply back "not at all" but by the third round of that questioning and my food is burnt in the kitchen, the water is overflowing upstairs out of the tub, my cell phone and house phone are ringing like crazy, and I am growling like "CUJO" at anyone who speaks to me at that time... you better believe I am beyond ANGRY!!!
    I really believe the extremely long surveys are set up to test ones will power!!! I keep reminding myself I have carried a child for 9 months I can endure this torture for the next lingering 60 minutes!
