Recaptcha is not only frustratingly slow, it's also free image classification for google. Frustrating that every time I sign up for something, I have to do 15 seconds worth of work for a company that doesn't pay me, or at least provide open access to the resulting data.

Takes me a minute or two to do a bad job of solving the captcha... eventually it lets me through.

I was all on board with doing recaptcha in 2008 when it was digitizing newspapers, and they were pretty simple.

But now they take way too long and are just used to train a product for a company I don't like very much.
