    I have 2:

    1. Captchas where they want them entered in a certain format but don't stipulate it. If they're case sensitive, say so :p

    2. Address forms that require all lines to be filled in when your address doesn't have that many lines :o





    I hate captchas, full stop. but the ones that are hard to read, or don't even appear, aarrgghh!
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)

    I am not keen on captchas either - I often mutter quietly 'How the f**k do you expect me to read that!?' (and I NEVER usually swear!) Mind you, some of the captchas on 'rather to-do' sites, like golfing sites are a little laa dee daa with almost 'posh naughty' little phrases like 'tweak you feather' or 'do a merry waltz'! cute-blue-bird-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif (at least they are readable though!)

    And on the Galaxy chocolate site where you are asked for example to enter letters 3, 5 and 6 - I always spell out words like tit, nit, puf, git and pot! They make me smile though!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Another Fragrance Shop "winner" here. I say it's not a win if you have to effectively pay towards it!

    and me! Reminds me of the mattress one that was sent out not long ago. I suspect everyone that entered will have been a winner with this one.

    Arrgh just received an email exactly stating this - was so excited at the title but then just angry at the contents of the email

    :o I've been known to email them back when my hormones get the better of me :eek:. Polite, but pointing out how disappointing it can be to open such an email.... :rotfl:

    Well done. If people don't let them know how it makes us feel, then they're going to keep on doing it. :rotfl:
    Thanks to all who post constructively.
