So far I haven't seen anything on this site that I have not encountered on a real web site at one time or another (though this site is unique in bringing all these horrible design practices together in one place). This includes not being able to get past the captcha.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Oh I definitely recognise this, it's using Microsoft's Bot Framework ( https://dev.botframework.com/ ). I had to make a chatbot for a hospital during my end of studies internship. I still don't get why people want chatbots as they're terrible UI, so frustrating to use even when they're made properly.
People don't want chatbots - businesses want(ed) them because they offer(ed) the promise of much cheaper support. Of course that's predicated on them working at all , which in practice they don't, obviously. Think that message has filtered through enough now that the hype surge that was in full swing a couple of years ago seems to have petered out again.
That country selector that is all the country flags of the world in greyscale with colours only shown on mouse-over deserves a special mention. Not really a problem if you're just entering garbage information, but try to find the proper flag if you actually want the correct one. Bonus points if you are one of the many lucky citizens born under a flag that consists of three horizontal or vertical areas of equal size.

Not that I want to brag, but, you can get past the captcha. You just have to mindlessly click everything (at least it worked for me. And yes, I should probably get a life, but I made this passed as UX research.)
Still, nothing on this site was as bad as the "security questions" on the United Airlines site. All of their security questions are multiple choice. Here's an actual example:
What is your favorite sport?
Possible answers:
Gymnastics
Soccer
Jai Alai
Archery
Snowboarding
Volleyball
Cycling
Diving
Ice skating
Taekwondo
The worst thing is that when you have to answer the question the answers are presented in a different order than when you set them up, so a simple hack like "just pick the third answer" won't work. It's genuinely more frustrating than anything on the parody site.
this is art.
Huh? The site did nothing in my Browser, no user interaction possible.
My favorite thing is the slow descent of the help chat hahaha
