Nowadays there are some really annoying CAPTCHAs out there, such as:
“Click over the figures that are upwards/downwards” and various rotated bears
“Rotate the figure until it matches the given orientation” and a finger pointing to some random direction, as well as rotation buttons that don’t work the way you would mathematically expect them to work
“Select all the images with a bicycle until there are none left” and the images take centuries to fade away after you click them
“Select all the squares containing a bus” and there are squares with the very corner of the bus that make you wonder if they are considered as part of “squares containing A bus”
“Fit the puzzle piece”, although this is the least annoying one
In summary, the CAPTCHAs seemingly are becoming less of a “prove you’re not a robot” and more of an forced IQ test. I can see the day when CAPTCHAs will ask you to write down a Laplacian transform for the solution f(x) to the differential equation governing the motion of a mass considering the resistance of air and aerodynamics, or write down a detailed solution to the P versus NP problem.
Sony has the most annoying ones, which are designed to prevent people from submitting tickets. They’ll show you like 10 dice, and ask what they add up to. They make you solve like 16 of them before they let you continue. Shit should be illegal.

It’s when they make you do like 20 of them. Bitch you already stopped the DDOS let me see my balance fuck.

The math ones are ridiculous.
Guess what computers are inherently great at?
Math.
Because they’re not there to stop computers, they’re there to stop people from getting legitimate support from a company that owes it to them.
Those “select tiles with a bicycle” are us training image recognition programs.
at that point i just assume im the one they are keeping out and just close the tab

I hate the puzzle piece ones, they never actually load the site for me.
They’ll make you listen to Vogon poetry. If your head explodes, you’re not a bot.
