How many of you people ENJOY playing that "I AM NOT A ROBOT" game to be able to enter certain aps? They give you 20 tiny little squares and just a few seconds to see if there's a: storefront, crosswalk, bus, street light, bicycle,dog turd etc. and most of the time it's a terrible shot and you can barely see anything!!! How bout the street lights? Do they just want the light itself or the whole structure? What the hell is the idea of that thing anyway? To get you pissed off? Who invented it? The Marquis de Sade?

I WISH I had that for my phone! Soon, no one will be able to call me, because I will have blocked all the spoofed numbers!

I thought I had the problem. I always have trouble identifying the objects; fail repeatedly, leaving me frustrated and angry.

And the metadata site I use requires it. and it gives you about 4 seconds to complete the search. and then it throws ANOTHER ONE up in front of you. I feel like Lucille Ball in the candy factory. LOL

Best of luck! I get spoofed calls with my own number on caller ID.

The traffic lights one is a bummer for me (and possibly a lot of Europeans). Traffic lights grow out of the ground, not hang down from wires like Spanish moss!

Depends on where you are. . . Plenty of small towns still suspend them from overhead cables.

I heard the guy who developed that speak last year. He’s a very interesting guy. Very tech savvy and entrepreneurial. He’s sensitive to your frustrations and works to make things more user friendly.

The real comforting thing to remember is that some 'robots' can now accomplish this test better than humans!!

the ones I have seen are stylized letters spelling a word. Those are not too hard.

Me too. I understand what they are trying to do, and why, but there are easier and more user friendly ways to accomplish it. When I encounter one of these I have learned to make an obscene gesture at my monitor and exit the site.
