normal people can do this

i'm just full of embarrassing little quirks, and one has been especially bothersome lately. so i thought i would share with you, and maybe you will all end up being like me! kind of like the other time i posted about my little quirks....

anyways

as the holiday season is closing in/here, i have been visiting many more websites, leaving more comments, and purchasing more items online. 

but i keep running across one snafu:


captchas
my sworn enemy!
they are supposed to be hard enough for a robot computer hacker to not figure out, but easy enough for any normal person do it in a jiffy

i fail at typing the captchas correctly almost every time


.....
awkward.


it's embarrassing. and you know what's so pitiful about it? after about two or three tries, the captchas actually get easier. as if the computer is saying, wow, you ARE dumb. here's an easy one.

sometimes i won't even comment on a blog if i have to fill out the captcha because it is just too difficult.


am i the only one who gets these things wrong?
please say no, please say no, please say no


ps- i finished all of my grad school tests! that's the right! the gre, cset, and cbest are dunzo! hello free saturdays, how you doin'?

  1. Usually there's a little button for people who are 'impaired' that reads it to you, I think. I don't know, I've never tried it, maybe you should give it a shot.

  4. I kinda hate those things. I disabled them on my blog, cause it drives me nuts when I get them wrong. Congrats on finishing all your tests!!
