    The Cheek of it.

    I just bought an electric toothbrush (yes I know that it's decadent and I'm lazy but it was on special offer ).

    There's a piece of paper inside that's made to seem like a guarantee registration and you are asked to answer some questions.

    There must be about 100 questions covering income, housing arrangements and even whether I've had an accident and made a claim for compensation.

    As I said - the cheek of it. I've sent it back with no information at all on it.

    These forms are just for marketing - I usually return them filled in.

    Of course I don't necessarily fill them in with the correct information - one day I may drive an Aston Martin, another I may have three ferraris in the garage, be a Doctor and have 10 kids, live in a flat or a mansion worth a couple of million.
    They greedily put this info in their database and share it around (for a fee) so it's good to give them some BS to chew on.

    Tell them you've had a nasty accident while trying to brush your teeth with your new electric toothbrush when a piece of questionnaire paper attached to the head of it got caught in your teeth and you now intend to sue them!

    Aww, Mick. I bought one a few years back and I would never go back. They are really great pieces of equipment. Nothing to do with laziness. It takes me at least as long ( and probably longer ) to brush my teeth with one as a manual brush, but the effect is sooooooooooooooo much better!

    Also the concentration required is more than the manual so I reckon as much effort goes into it.

    Just enjoy your gob afterwards and smile with pity at those who are still brushing away with a wisdom or similar

    Decadent, heck! Diligent application of an electric toothbrush means I no longer undergo the torture of a hygienist every six months. I have a very active gag reflex so this is a big deal. Saves money, as well.
