Iwas gonna do it, but then I'm not a business student, so would the survey even be of any use?!

That's a bit harsh. He/She is not asking you to write their thesis, but asking you to fill in a brief questionairre which will help come up with data for the thesis. Nothing wrong in that.

Well it is when we get 5 mails an day from bs students asking to fill in there bloody surveys

Indeed, the mass of questionnaire requests we get every year is enough to put anyone off doing them. That said I'm sure amz was only kidding, shes too soft to be that harsh.

Oh and nice to see you're still with us spockety.

Exactly.

I'm sick of business students spamming me with these surveys, I've been getting them for 4 years and I envisage getting them into the future too.

I wouldn't mind, but they're so bloody cheeky to do that in the first place.

When I needed to take BP readings from 50 students for my course, or take blood samples from people I didn't do what they did.

Actually what disturbs me more is that they're encouraged by their lecturers to do this. It was pointed out to one of them this year when someone sent such a survey to no less than 25 class lists. The lecturer in question was mailed however there was no reply, typical. As a matter of interest I'd like to see how many people actually fill them in? :rolleyes:

Run around with a hydodermic needle screaming wildly?

Amz

Well if I was to do the BP taking equivilant I'd have just put the BP cuff on the person and then asked permission to do it.

I've never filled out a survey mailed to me.

What about those ones that promise a free can of coke?

*Writhes with rage*

And you believed them?:D

I did them with the silent hope that they had a shred of decency left in their soulless decaying husks of bodies. My faith was sorely misplaced... i bought my own coke.

Amz

Well they are business students.

Haven't you learned anything in your short life?

They were the only ones I did too. But only because I thought only coke fiends would do those, and I felt I had to fly the flag for Pepsi.

What really surprises me is the innocent things the classlists will block (have once had them block e-mails giving links to useful sites for a specific course***) and yet they let this crap through.:eek:

Hate questionnaires! The amount of times they'll ask things where I'm left thinking:"Yeah, right, like I'm going to tell you that!":
E.g. AIB keep trying to find out my earnings when I phone about the on-line banking/when they phone me (with the number blocked too!) , how thick are they, I mean I get one lodgement a month for the same amount every month, gee wonder what that could be!?!? I mean if they're really supposed to know then they could check my account details and stop asking!!!
Same applies to when the government had people going around to try compile a list of people's wages and stuff, if they want to know they can use official channels and check with the Revenue Commissioners, otherwise sod off!!:mad: For all I know the person who's at my door is some con with a fake card to say they're doing this for the government, if I'm not going to trust a shop/restaurant staff member to walk off with my credit card I'm sure as hell not going to just give out personal/financial details to someone for who all I know is just there phishing!

Just waiting for the day where they ask:
Blood Group?
Favourite food?
Favourite colour?
Favourite number?
Name of first love?
Date of first kiss?
Any fetishes?
If so what?
What day of the week are you most likely to be carrying large amounts of cash?
Where would you most likely be on said day?
etc...


*pant, heave, must calm down............*







***convinced the person checking the classlist mails that day was just in a foul mood and being a ***** and venting it on everyone else as a lot of the classlist e-mails got blocked that day throughout the science & physics facultys. Think the only ones they let through were from lecturers and the SU*

To shed a wee of light on the AIB thing. The people that are ringing you aren't AIB themselves, they are in fact an external agency who AIB pays to carry out this service for them. Hence they don't actually have access to you account records. Why don't AIB just check it themselves? You may ask, well if they're paying this company to check all your other details why not ask them to check this too and save them the hassle of assigning someone else to crossreference the details garnered by the company with their own records. Its all about the business as usual.
