Paying Bills Online

I wish they would come up with a more or less standardized system for paying bills.

Every single one is a completely different website, with funky crap for signing on (some of them). One has a captcha that is supposed to be helpful, but since none of the others have it it doesn't seem entirely necessary.

One of them has a floating "comments" widget, going down the page with you. It seems to gum up the works and make my computer work slowly. Of course you have to agree that you read the terms each time, when you haven't, and since the page is so stretched out it's lost in the shuffle, this box, and it gives you an error when you don't check it.

It's better than writing out checks. And it's better than paying the post office for a stamp for every one of them. But it's still drudgery.
