Frequently Asked Questions

What the heck is this place?

Did you ever wish that you could yell when you are really mad about something? And that people would listen to you? Here's your chance!

We created Mad Because ... we wanted to yell out about things that really bug us. And we figured others would like to yell out their "Mad Because". And vote up or down on other's "Mad Because" entries.

So How Does it Work?

It's really easy. Just complete the sentence "I am Mad Because .. ". Pick a category, and click "Submit". Your entry will immediately appear on the list.

What's Up with the Red and Green Boxes?

Let's face it, some people get mad about the lamest things. And other people's "Mad Because" are the same things that make us mad. So, click on the number in the Green box to agree with the "Mad Because". Or, click on the Red box to vote against a lame Mad Because. Then watch the numbers change.

You can only vote once a day, though. But visit often, because there's going to be a lot of new "Mad Because" entries.

What about an Abusive "Mad Because"?

If you think that an entry has gone too far, then click the "Report Abuse" link. Our crack (and cracked) team of reviewers will take a look at the entry and decide whether it gets to stay here.

What are you going to do with all those "Mad Because" entries?

Any entry becomes the property of the "Mad Because" team (that's us). We'll use it any way that we want, without any compensation or acknowledgment of the person that submitted it. Maybe there will be a book.

What about that Twitter account?

If you become a "Mad Because" follower ("@MadBecause"), you'll get notifications of new "Mad Because" entries. The tweet will be shortened (because we allow 300 characters, and Twitter only allows 140), but we'll give you a link to the latest entry. It's a great way to keep track of the latest "Mad Because" entries.
