Airazurxtror, I have the impression that in general your judgements on SN related issues tend to be rather harsh.

This expression "really mean" does sound quite bitter.

What about giving people and situations some benefit of the doubt?

Exactly what I had in mind (thank you for the interesting reference) :
small-minded / miserly (a person who is mean about money).

Brussels Airlines present a ticket to the happy winners but they will have to pay the taxes and the fuel !
When you make a present to somebody, do you demand that he pays the VAT ?
It would not have hurt Brussels Airlines so much to show a bit more panache and give willingly the full ticket. I call that small-minded, yes.

It's just an inquiry for their statistics.

The "tickets" just make it a bit interesting.
This is important for them to see how many persons are interested in the 2 products they offer.
If you want to help them a hand, why not take 2 minutes of your time and fill it?

Many years ago we had to sell lottery tickets of "broederlijk delen" . The first prize was a Mercedes each year. But you had to pay the tax. The result was that some people refused the prize because they couldn't provide the cash.

I also filled it in... You never know!!

But about the taxes, I know it...
2 months ago I filled the online survey on the Bangkok Airways website.

And to my suprise I won 1 roundtrip Bangkok-Siem Reap
Very nice but you have to pay the airport taxes, plus the bad thing, i only have 3 months to youse the tickets... My trip to Thailand is next year so, not really lucky! (little off topic)!!
