we get store survey codes on receipts from a local store. "please go fill this out online". OK.

On the receipt: 9873-435-289-6372-9983

Go to their survey page

"Please enter the survey code without the dashes".

WTF? Left hand, please meet the right hand.

Or when putting serial numbers: some show the input box separated by dashes(maybe so that we put it correctly while typing.) But, when I try to paste it in, either it just rejects or simply fills the first block making me copy the sn block by block. If I could, I would have beaten those dialogue boxes with a baseball bat.
