    One particularly egregious misuse of captcha in a
    service I use presents one after I enter a correct
    username and password.
That's nothing.

eBay will CAPTCHA me after I enter my e-mail address, and then again after I enter my password too. Every time. And I'll be damned if I don't "fail" this CAPTCHA at least once a week, with it telling me to try again.

Come on, there are only so many mountains/hills, taxis, traffic lights, bicycles, and cross-walks I can look at before I go cross-eyed.

They even have the nerve to suggest that I can avoid this by using the latest version of my browser (Firefox), which I already am and always do.
