Well...I did it...somehow...I did...

00:06:57

That seems too fast...apparently i've experienced these things far too much. It actually was filling me with rage. I came close to saying fuck it...I really did...

Well done to the creators...you managed to, with 100% accuracy, capture every single thing that's horrible about signing up to websites.

That bow thing though...gotta admit, was worth it just for the chuckle I got as I realized...

Oh no no no. For an authentic experience it needs to reload the page and wipe out all forms when you click 'next' and one of the fields is not valid. (And of course reloading the page should take at least five seconds.)

I nearly quit when it said "your age and birthdate don't match". Glad I got through because the bow and check also gave me a laugh.

I absolutely expected that. Having both birthdate and age was the Chekhov's gun on that form.

The only thing better would be to have them on different form pages.

I expected that one, but somehow got the gender wrong. I hate those radio selects!
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by nomadluap on Friday June 25, 2021 @08:10PM (#27637785)
And the form clears every time you go back/forward
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by romwell on Friday June 25, 2021 @05:38PM (#27636595)
I got nearly the same time, 06:58. Spent the most time on the bow.

If you liked this, you will enjoy the Phone Number UI from hell[1]. Surprisingly, I did see stuff like that in the wild - and from Google, of all places![2]

I got 6 minutes and 7 seconds, half of which I think I spent trying to figure out the capcha.

Also, if you got to the capcha and got it on the first try, go back and fail it a few times. They have some really clever ones.

I bailed on the captcha after 3 tries. It was infuriating, which is my experience with real captchas more often than I'd like to admit.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by neycoda on Saturday June 26, 2021 @05:37AM (#27640492)
My favorite CAPTCHAs are when they don't state whether they're case-sensitive or not and it's hard to tell whether some characters are uppercase or lowercase.

I sometimes save the good ones to disk just to laugh a bit more later.

6 minutes? Seriously? You guys must be pretty motivated.

I gave up after about 30s. I'd probably have given up after 60s, even if there was a prize at the end (e.g. being registered). I rebel violently when confronted by a UI crime-scene like that. I'm feeling ill after just two pages of that form.

00:33:39—Jury is out on whether that’s a good or bad thing...
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by grawprog on Saturday June 26, 2021 @01:27AM (#27639348)
That deserves a medal just for the incredible amount of inhuman patience that must have taken.

That's just an insane level of perseverance.

Wait you can advance beyond page 1?
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by smeej on Saturday June 26, 2021 @07:57AM (#27641123)
Same question. My password wasn't unsafe. Abcdefghij1 seemed unsafe to me.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by Doxin on Tuesday June 29, 2021 @09:21AM (#27675407)
The "password isn't unsafe" isn't actually a problem. All the other conditions are.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by Zababa on Saturday June 26, 2021 @05:50PM (#27646244)
You have to scroll down to see the other condition to make your password safe.

Are you on mobile? I cannot see arrival requirements

Is that time including reading the terms or without?

You and I have very different definitions of fun! I got annoyed when it asked me for a profile picture and I just closed it.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by CubicsRube on Saturday June 26, 2021 @05:32AM (#27640465)
Same! Closed it on profile picture. Then saw people mentioning "bow" in the comments, so I had to find out what it is. Worst possible way start a day.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by slowwriter on Saturday June 26, 2021 @06:15AM (#27640676)
I saw the bow thing in the comments too, but I can't understand what it is even though I completed the form!
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by grawprog on Saturday June 26, 2021 @12:48PM (#27643465)
It was one of the captcha forms at the end. It used a clever play on words.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by LeftHandPath on Friday June 25, 2021 @06:01PM (#27636799)
I got it in 5:58 and I'm proud.
Re:User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment by pageandrew on Friday June 25, 2021 @06:32PM (#27637073)
I got it in 3:49!
