It has happened way too often, every time I decide to surf
the internet I have to question that keeps haunting me. Every time I want to
comment, Every time I want to subscribe for a newsletter, every time I want to
do something interesting it happens. They always ask politely but when the
number of times one has to answer increases so does the frustration and anger
multiplies. The question is always the same, “Please prove you are not a
Robot”.
The question is always accompanied by a set of illegible
letters that no one with a sane pair of eyes can read and if he does try its
certain to drive him insane in seconds. The worst part is when the set of
letters never matches anything you type because some idiot who did the data
entry was way too drunk to realize the difference between ‘a’ and o or ‘r’ and
‘n’. You have to keep typing till you lose sanity and give up or by some divine
luck you get it right. I there is one thing in the internet more irritating
than those crazy videos that go viral just because some idiot just realized he
was an idiot and was lucky enough to be caught on came and helped himself to a
few million hits overnight then this must that.
They call it captcha I call it capture
They do have a very lovely name for this insane madness;
they call it ‘Captcha’. It sounds like ‘capture’ and I have never been able to
understand what they were actually trying to capture, some bad evil robot
developed by the sky net or our sane minds.
There are way too many captchas out there for any sane person to happily search the web without losing their minds.May be they do have no other way to distinguish genuine
users and spammers but what I don’t understand is why is it that I have to
enter the same thing again and again in the same website can’t they just be
happy with one verification. I will tell you this I am sick and tired of being
called a robot and being asked to prove otherwise. It never fails to make me
cry out “Believe me! I am human”.
I hate Captcha and puts me off commenting on a blog. Can't people use a good antispam plugin and be done with the captcha.
ReplyDeletehaha..i hate these cAptChA(s)..!! 90% of the times, i get them in second time :/
ReplyDeletenice post:)
@Swapna So true they had it on mine too, I just removed it I cant behaving something that is annoying to myself on my blog for others to suffer from!
ReplyDelete@Sakshi Indeed they irritate the hell out of me and its true I don't want to comment after the third time it goes wrong! I can't stand it!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Indeed!
ReplyDeleteVery long ago, during the days when I worked in a BPO, my American clients used to chat with me and a common question would be 'Prove to me that you are not a robot'
Initially, it used to be funny. Gradually, it used to get to my nerves. But then, we are all used to being mechanical, aren't we?!
Such weird words right? But I swear some words sound like Malayalam ones :)
ReplyDeleteWell written! Sometimes it really does get irritating!
ReplyDelete@Navin Being asked to prove you are human how worse cant get. What else would we be cyborgs? aliens? Intelligent Robots? I don't it gets on my nerve every time.
ReplyDeleteD Nambiar Would it hurt for them to use standard words, Sometimes somethings are damn funny. Its the only place where Conan goes to Vietnam.
ReplyDeletetry this link you will understand what I mean!
@Danny So true you there are!
ReplyDeletelol! :D I hate Captcha too! Totally! They are so annoying. And the worst part is they are so difficult to understand.
ReplyDeleteNice post :)

ReplyDeleteI checked that out. Gosh! hilarious. Intern Research? Hahhahaha! Atleast some art came out of it. Thank you for sharing that link.
ReplyDelete@Namrata Mahalingam Indeed they are annoying aren't they? Thanks for sharing your thought!
ReplyDelete@Alka NarulaThey certainly are , makes me go crazy like hell!
ReplyDelete@Divya NambiarHilarious indeed wasn't it? Staying in US has indeed ruined you saying Thanks for every silly thing! huh!! My pleasure sharing it!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Its definitely irritating of course...Worst part is when you type something really long, dont back it up and then it gets totally lost purely becoz u got the captcha wrong!! Sigh!
ReplyDelete@jaish_vats Definitely been there often! it sucks!
ReplyDeletei too agree with you...its hard when you have to type complex captchas at the end of each post to prove that you are a human being
ReplyDeleteRegards

@roopz Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! they sure rack out brains out! don't they?
ReplyDeleteAgreed.. this captcha can be really irritating..
ReplyDelete@secrecy Indeed!
ReplyDeleteGosh I hate these kind of things! They're time-consuming, irritating, and give off sore eyes! Sometimes I would come across captchas that look weird. And what's even more annoying is that every time I try to type in the correct letter that looks the same as the one shown by a captcha, it would say that it was wrong. >_<
