WTF? Captcha asking me to find parking meters in the picture. Its hard enough to find them in real life, how am I supposed to locate them in a picture!!

Wow I’m surprised I got one, so far you’ve managed to time every other one for the moment I step away, and this one in the middle of writing an email. Balloons and confetti all around!
How soon after you click the “I’m not a robot” button can you click the Buy It button? Right away, or do you have to wait for the check mark to be fully formed? Anybody know?
@walarney personally I believe in the whole “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” approach. If you are too fast I believe you trip off the “bot defenses” and end up with the picture captchas. I’ve been hitting buy as fast as possible, let the page load while scrolling down and only then click the check box. And then wait for the check mark before hitting the buy button. I haven’t succeeded every time but have plenty of times and I haven’t gotten the dreaded picture captchas in well over a year.
@scilynt@chienfou I almost never get the pictures. Just always sold out. Hoping i could shave a second or two off my time if I click when the check animation starts vs. waiting for it to be done.
WTF happened-clicked on buy and clicked on I am not a robot and purchase already and it said I don’t know what item you are trying to purchase. If meh is trying to piss me off they are succeeding.

I believe I can buy
/giphy modest-shaggy-sparrow
Why’d I buy another one of these? I guess I’ll know in about two months when it gets here.
Damn you captcha!
Can’t believe all 100 went that fast… I was right on the cusp!
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
/giphy clumsy-zany-spade
I could’ve gotten it again if I didn’t already get one. I’m on a roll!
Missed again
Goin’ IRK-less today.
/giphy timid-tempered-oyster
Why do I only get captchas on the instant regret kit?
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
@johntmeche3 Because that’s the only thing they use them on. It’s not random.
Fail. Again.
Maybe there will be one more.
Gaaah!
The one time I was around for the IRK and I got killed by the stupid Captcha!
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.

4 fails earlier and I finally got one. But I am a robot.
I just received my May Irk. It fulfilled its name. Oh well, another gamble for good stuff!
0-6, ya!
Well that’s a first. Got the “are you a robot” captcha but it didn’t even load so who’s the robot now?? Grrrr
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.

/giphy gaunt-wrinkled-ice
golly gosh darn it!
/giphy balls+ouch
That was the last one, huh?
Tfw it wants you to re-enter your credit card
Rip
/giphy tearful-strange-wealth
Can’t believe it. Literally just said “I forgot it was a Mehrathon” and then an IRK was the next item.
I doubt this is real, clicked the moment it appeared and it was sold out. I’m closing my browser
@Aegan01 tooks just seconds to unload 100 of them!

@walarney in the past if I try to hit enter while the check is loading on the initial sign in it has refused my captcha… YMMV
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.

@walarney I wait for the check mark because I don’t want to fuck anything up and have to click again.
i finally beat the captcha. I’m a human again!
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@butterflys that’s exactly what a robot would say.
The IRK Gods are shining down, finally snapped one up. I can now sit back and keep clicking the Meh button. Sweet!
/giphy benign-virtuous-dragonfly
Got it. Finally
/giphy swanky-exuberant-cat
I just want the ice cream sandwich.
@Ignorant only if they’re able to keep it frozen for a month in Pitney Bowes transit.
@OnionSoup nope, I want it as messy as a box of Poo-Pourri.

That sounds like something a robot would say.
Let me just say…some 10 YEARS of trying (Woot previously, and then here) I finally scored a BOC/IRK.
Amazing.
/giphy exotic-unnatural-van
Fucking shenanigans. All that time and money spent…damn you Meh Overlords.
Still can’t get it…sigh…
FINALLY got one after stalking this Meh-rathon all night and all day today!
Now, I’m trotting around the house all like
/giphy resourceful-valuable-centaur
FINALLY no snafus. Been trying all day. Here’s a run down of my fails

/giphy yappy-yawny-ear
I got the Sisyphean CAPTCHA where you have to keep clicking… sigh. Honestly it’s the bag I want most
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Damn. Clicked not a robot and when I went to purchase said I didn’t. Maybe im learning something about myself today…?
I’ve been waiting for a Qi Powerbank, but I guess I’ll take this instead.
/giphy practical-assertive-gum
I tried so many times today but nothing. Oof.
/giphy waaaa
@moonhat me too
🥺
Mine arrives today. Can’t wait for the disappointment!
