Captcha "I am not a robot"

I had to abandon a payPal traansaction yesterday because the Capcha box came up and the request to copy the letters - but there was nothing in the capcha box. This happened several times in a row. In the end I had to abando it, and rebook this morning, when everything worked.

Oh I can’t stand those stupid things, have to change glasses to see the pics sometimes ?

I hate them too.
All the images seem to be American, which doesn’t help.

I usually have to keep doing them I can’t see them, can’t find ‘ver hear kalls’ or ‘crosswalks’ usually have to do them until they get fed up with me and let me through
There s got to be a better way
I hate them, my heart sinks when I need to do one

They areAmerican so not always recognisable.
The ones where you have to copy letters and numbers are unclear.

I don’t get the captcha thingys on my iPad, so if they pop up on a website I have to log in on my PC.
Don’t know why though.

Great idea.
I could include a little note.
"It wasn't a robot who did this; it was me. Honest!"

Oh, that’s comforting then. I thought it was just me! I tend to press what I think I see, and I’m often wrong!

Maybe if you got yourself a robot you could get it to fill them in for you?

I can't see the pictures, can't make out the words, and can't hear the spoken one.

The pictures are so small and blurry, I can’t make out the traffic lights. I just press lots.

Oh good.

I was beginning to worry that I am indeed a robot.

The theory is that the robot apps that roam the internet and can automatically fill in text boxes are unable to understand the Capcha photo-thingies or those mixtures of twisted letters and numbers. In reality the robots have probably been programmed to work them out better than humans.

I don't quite understand the need for them.

Oh, I hate them. I fail most of them first time, due to the unhappy match of their blurred images to my blurred vision.

I quite agree. "Crosswalks" anyone?
