Its bs! I had 1 then it did the gd captcha and i couldnt captcha. Then it said system issue try again then gone! I guess that means i wasnt meant to buy a bag of trash
Meh, you seriously need to get someone remotely competent to do your bot detection. You force regular users to sign in again, restart adding to cart, scroll down and do a captcha – they will rarely beat a bot at that, because it takes so long. You need to gate the bots only instead of gating everyone. I signed into a established VMP account with a long history and have never botted, surely that should be a strong signal that I don’t need to be checked?
Holy cow, that went fast! First time trying to get an IRK. If only I’d understood the shipping thing and hit that option fast enough. But, well, I know better for next time. Certainly seems a nicer way of getting a mystery “box” than the Bag of Crap. It was so exciting NOT going into a Vestibule of Patience and sit in purgatory wondering if my order would go through.
@FreePasta I’ll sign up for it if I find it’s worth my time. I haven’t seen much, lately, on Meh that would interest me, so I’d rather just hold off and see how things go.
Okay, someone answer me this before I drive to Carrollton and knock on someone’s door:
Every. Fucking. Time, after I click Buy It, I jump to the order screen, where there’s a popup containing the Captcha. In less than one second, that pop-up disappears, so I can’t click it. Then another Captcha appears at the bottom, so I click it. I’m getting through this process in about a second and a half. But EVERY time, I get the green repeating bar, which carries on until it tells me that the IRK is sold out.
Is that the same bullshit everyone else is dealing with? Because whether that’s what’s supposed to happen, or it’s not supposed to happen, that’s just shitty web design.
@Darnitol It’s working the way they want it to. If the Irks were easy to get there wouldn’t be as much frenzy and crazed competition to get them - and as many eyeballs viewing all the other stuff.
@Kyeh “Hard to get because of stiff competition” is one thing. Knowingly preventing some people from being able to compete at all by allowing coding errors to stop them from ordering, that’s another.
@richelleh12 If they happen to have a “Meh-mbers only” hour today, you may be able to spot several. Would be between 4 - 5 PM EST. You also need to refresh the page as each item hits 00:00 or you’ll miss the IRK until it’s sold out. Good Luck!
Yep, as the @IndifferentDude says, the people who get these are literally sitting here all day, bashing the F5 key every time the countdown hits 0. We are logged in, we’ve made sure CC and address info is up to date, and we’ve memorized every necessary button click to complete check-out. If you get one, it’s probably a total of 5 seconds from it appearing on the page to completing checkout. Any slower than that and you’ll be out of luck.
Sometimes these IRKs are great, sometimes they’re going straight to the stock at your local Savers! I’ll give you one guess which this is!

/giphy methodical-noted-boat
Meh-ry disappointed after so many 4 minute timers…
/giphy lovely-barbed-temper
@jayman007 maybe I can get some work done now…
/giphy toasty-kindhearted-parent
caaaaapppptcchhhhaaa. and BOATS!
Missed it by that much
@kykazaa or this much
/giphy unanimous-quarrelsome-peace
woo hoo.
Bah! Distracted by work.
Stupid green bar.
@jnicholson0619 Yeah. I felt judged by it. Like it was just showing off.
captcha at it again…
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
/giphy favorable-adherent-gopher
8 seconds total, and I missed it. Ouch.
@accumulator takes my computer about 8 seconds to load the page… perpetually doomed now. Then add traffic lights and nope nope nope now.
$@#$**#
Dagnabbit. I felt like I was quick enough. I must up my game… my up my game… next time!
dammit
dagnabit. I didn’t even fail the test… just was somehow too slow
I must be a robot.
How would I know, if I’m programmed to not know?
Screwed by my instinctive inclination to click the “meh” button first. Ugh
@Bretterson Oh yeah, lemme go back and click that…
@Bretterson same here and then the capcha got me
@PocketBrain Yeah, I know. It’s my natural reflex at this point though.
Capcha
Capcha
Capcha
Green bar
Green bar
Green bar
sold out
@jmhsrv
Same. Last night three captcha in a row. Sidewalk, lights, cars
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@jmhsrv got the same. last time i got six green bars…so i’m doing worse…
Stupid buy page wouldn’t load.
Yay, got 1
Missed it. Not sure I should be unhappy about that after the last few very meh irks I’ve received. Maybe it’s a sign lol
Phew, didn’t get one. Close call.
Green bar of death
/giphy taut-dying-raspberry
I knew you guys were going to do that the second I stepped away to grab lunch. Consider me Irked.
Yay!
/giphy overrated-personal-koala
@Deri143 Its my favorite too.
LTE, more like SMELL Tee Eee
Yeah. Never added the captcha on any other purchases. That’s f80k3d!
@fari4life fBOkEd?
Got to the green bar and it sold out after it went around a few times. Meh
@guyfromhawthorn Same
Its bs! I had 1 then it did the gd captcha and i couldnt captcha. Then it said system issue try again then gone! I guess that means i wasnt meant to buy a bag of trash
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
Yay!! Got another one!! Can get some work done now.
/giphy adhesive-deserted-canvas
@IndifferentDude Another one? Well that’s just greedy.
@Bretterson
@IndifferentDude meant another one in general. First (and only once) from this event.
@FreePasta @IndifferentDude Ah, ok. I think there may actually be a limit of one per meh-rathon anyway.
@Bretterson @IndifferentDude
There is.

@Telanis That would be nice. Ah, dreams.
Actually fuck it, I know they won’t change it. I’ll just write something with webbot.
@Telanis I agree.
@Telanis I’ve never had to captcha when ordering via mobile. Just got this IRK without a captcha that way. Maybe give that a shot.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
I’m just too slow

@JAWGS
Tip: Sign up in advance for the $5 membership program.
If you get an IRK - The shipping pays for itself.
At the worst, if you make no purchases before the renewal date, you can cancel for a FULL refund.
@FreePasta I’ll sign up for it if I find it’s worth my time. I haven’t seen much, lately, on Meh that would interest me, so I’d rather just hold off and see how things go.
@JAWGS
Fair enough.
I only mentioned it, so that this way when the next IRK comes, you don’t have to waste time on the shipping method.
@FreePasta Oh, not a problem. I appreciate the info. Now that I know what I’m doing (relatively), things might go better next time.
Hooray… got it!!!
/giphy active-gullible-burrito
@SparkyPDX Oh man… and to top it off I also got the most amazing gif ever!

Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@Darnitol there are a number of us caught in captcha hell. Having hell show up like that though with it vanishing… that doesn’t happen on my computer.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@Darnitol No answer? Carrollton is just down the street. If you’re going to charge me $5 a month for a membership, the site better fucking work.
@Darnitol It’s working the way they want it to. If the Irks were easy to get there wouldn’t be as much frenzy and crazed competition to get them - and as many eyeballs viewing all the other stuff.
@Kyeh “Hard to get because of stiff competition” is one thing. Knowingly preventing some people from being able to compete at all by allowing coding errors to stop them from ordering, that’s another.

How come I never know until afterwards when these are I have yet to be on when it happens
@richelleh12 If they happen to have a “Meh-mbers only” hour today, you may be able to spot several. Would be between 4 - 5 PM EST. You also need to refresh the page as each item hits 00:00 or you’ll miss the IRK until it’s sold out. Good Luck!

Mine is delivered!! but to the wrong address . Now I gotta find it!
Sometimes these IRKs are great, sometimes they’re going straight to the stock at your local Savers! I’ll give you one guess which this is!
