It?s a while since I?ve had a FAIL post, so here we go with the second-last post of this year, a look by goo Rankings at what New Year postcard failures people have realised after posting them.
Demographics
Between the 18th and 20th of October 2011 1,092 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.3% of the sample were male, 11.2% in their teens, 16.2% in their twenties, 25.7% in their thirties, 25.8% in their forties, 11.5% in their fifties, and 9.5% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
The first answer refers to when people have a death in the family, that year they will send out In Mourning postcards in late November or so to announce it, so for that year one should not send them a card. My wife accidentally sent one this year, but she didn?t seem terribly bothered by the affair. I also nearly send out some without my name and address, but I caught it in time! I also wrote a rather sarcastic message to a boss this year, but wife refused to let me send it?
