Performance anxiety
2 May, 2008 by halfpintpixie
Am I the only person who gets performance anxiety when faced with those stupid captcha things? Like these…
There are supposed to be 6 letters in each of those, now if I stick my face into the computer screen I can just about make out the presence of the light grey letters, so on the first one is that a 2? Is the last letter on the second one an 8 with a bit missing? And is that a G or a sideways Q on the last one? And for the maximum number of points what, oh what is the first letter on the last one?
It’s not as if they are guarding the most top secret of sites, oh no, these craptchas are what stands between us mere-sighted mortals and using the search function on veggie boards, that’s all it is, a vegetarian forum search, not Fort Knox or the Secret Service, so why is it so bloody hard to use!!!!
At least they have a “reload new image” link so you can try a new craptcha, but honestly who cares enough to keep clicking it?

Hi! I am new here. I am vegan too- or at least doing my best to be. I love this post. I have been meaning to post the same thing. I was going to announce a boycott on all blogs that torture me with these captchas. It takes me three or four times to get it right! Great post! I feel your captcha pain.
yay, it’s not just me! welcome to HPP Danielle
It’s a conspiracy to make us go blind….
I fail sometimes. It makes me feel like a blind geriatric loser.
They are the scourge of the internet! (or is that spammers?)
Nope! You are not the only one who freezes on these! Sometimes I can’t always SEE the letters! It’s crazy!lol
