Senseless Sunday Sarcasm : captchas
I just tried to reply to someone else’s post today and they had the 21st century’s idea of a curse:
The mathematical CAPTCHA!
Never mind that I’m dyslexic and the dots wouldn’t stay still so that I could count them. I’m not good at math.
Obviously, there are other people who share my problem:
I could only wish for a captcha this easy:
I have to wonder about the people who develop Captchas. Do they sit around all day asking themselves, “What is the best way to produce anxiety in an otherwise sane human being?”
Is there a $10,000 bonus — from companies who produce psychotropic medications — for the creative mind whose captchas have driven the most people to psychiatrists for medication?
Or is there a simpler explanation?
I may never know the answer to those questions, but I really, really wish that the people who create captchas would understand that not everyone has perfect vision, good hearing, and psychic abilities.
I doubt even the best of captcha solvers could get this one right:
Do you know that the letters in captcha spell “cat chap”?
It just seems fitting.
Capchas can be annoying like hell, especially if you’re in a bit of hurry. It’s like they can smell the urgency and make it their mission to keep you away from whatever it is that you want to log in to.

It does feel that way. The more I’m in a hurry, the more likely it is that the worst of the captcha’s will be thrown my way, too.

Oh yes! The ones that are barely readable.

The ones with the lines through them, capital letters, and numbers like 0 as opposed to the letter O can be confusing.

I remember that one. It’s hard to laugh when most of the captcha’s look just like that to me.

I don’t know if you could have cut and pasted that math question but google would have calculated it for you. Just put it in the search box and hit enter.

LOL! My mind is going wild…again.
SCENARIO: The makers of captchas offering a yearly “recurring charge” of only $100 per year so that you can go on their website and look up the solution to every captcha in existence.
What a deal!

I have been stuck in the captcha loops before — where I inadvertently get one letter wrong in the password and then have to go through 3 captcha screens only to be told my password was wrong.
