I am positive that there are no visual or discernible roads in this picture. I am also sure that the middle one is not a road but rather a field or trail as i see no gray or black asphalt/concrete, and the top right is a picture of a brick wall with the road just cut off from it. so why, I ask, did i immediately get denied and told to start another unending captcha? i constantly had to do "click verify once there are none left" captchas, even when i clicked and requested a new one i simply got a different version of it.
the captcha test simply keeps loading in different pictures that i must click, and when i do get what i see as a solution it simply denies it and forces me onto a new one. i just want to continue with my day, not sit here for however long the program decides i must suffer. what i want to know is why when i request a new puzzle it simply gives me the same type with different criteria; and if the captcha mistakes a picture for fitting in, how am i suppose to know to pick the wrong choice?

Thank God! I'm not going crazy! It's bad enough that I've been forced to come up with multiple ridiculous passwords that I can't keep track of because everyone has their own set of arbitrary password requirements, but I also have to contend with this steaming pile of code that nothing more than a giant obstacle to legitimate  users to the point that I find myself giving up trying to even access certain sites/accounts. Hey Google people...you all love to remind everyone that you're the smartest people in the room. How about devoting less time to being part of "The Resistance" and fix this piece of crap.

Same problem here!
It doesn't matter if it's the car, bus, street or store front one, even if I click on all of the right fields (and deal with the stupid, long fade in animation), 95% of the time verifying fails! And not only that one's bugged, the "street sign" one (no fade in, just pick all of the fields with stree signs on them) is too:
Not only are a lot of the images not actual street signs (there are banners and even store signs!) but even if it doesn't say "please try again", it keeps opening new ones! The last time I just stopped after dealing with captchas for the same thing for more than 10 minutes.

These recaptchas have not been working for me for weeks and are driving me mad. The only way I could get them to work is in an incognito window but sadly that does not work any more. I now seem to only get get the car ones where you have to keep clicking until none left. I click click and click (the new pictures also take an age to load) yes definitely no pictures with cars left but nope will not work, get a new set of pictures and repeat, and again, and again. Then after about 10 minutes if you are successful and think yipeee I have solved the recaptcha you then get this:

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT GOOGLE HQ SORT THIS??

Same problem here with windows 10, firefox and chrome. If i use ms edge it is a little bit better. But ich have no problems on another computer with windows 7. So i think that it is a windows 10 problem.

atm you always fail the first two tries. they broke the captcha (i guess by mistake) just retry. and retry. and retry.

This is absolutely annoying. The pictures are blurred and nondescript. One needs to keep on clicking and clicking endlessly. Why couldn’t they use a simple arithmetic expression to validate.
