    Haha, this happens to me too :lol:

  2. Michelle

    Happens to me as well. I always look like I have been arrested for armed robbery or something.

  3. HeatherJ

    I think you drew that from my picture.

  4. Jeni

    Ooooo Now we know when Imy’s birthday is

  5. Cemalidor

    LOL, that’s the main reason why i absolutely HATE it to get photographed. :XD

  6. Imy Blinky

    I hate ID photos… the one thing I dread every year.

  7. tyler_durden

    do what i do,look your worse when you get your license done.that way,your not disappointed.

  8. UraharaZR

    No matter how much you prepare yourself for this…you’re still gonna look like a freak when the flash shines.

  9. wit

    I always try to think of something funny, like Will Ferrell or George Bush.

    • reynard61

      How about Will Ferrell *as* George Bush?

  10. Christine Smith

    It’s so sad but true. DMV people have that certain knack for taking the worst possible picture.

  11. Vince

    Pennsylvania takes two photos, and you get to pick the one that is the least bad. Of course neither photo is ever good.

  12. GDupons

    Let’s check my passport… Yepp, I know the problem!

  13. me!

    Same thing happened to Nick Nolte.

  14. Samantha

    ME me! My current and previous license pics. Current was taken after the gym.. I was just going in to change my address!!! I didn’t think I’d need a PIC!!!

    The previous one looked okay, except I-swear-to-goodness my eyes were looking in two different directions! What the heck? The family was reading Harry Potter at the time. We call that my “Mad Eye Mommy” picture.

  15. Siabur

    I was once told by a dmv worker that they have been known to do wierd things to the camera lens to get the pics to be out of focus, blurry, warped just because it was expected.

    • Irma

      I could TOTALLY believe that!

  16. Ville H

    At least she doesen’t look like an arsonist or serial killer. Just a bit retarded. ;-)

  17. Minxie

    My skin looks purple in my last driver’s license picture…and I’m not even going to get started on my military ID. It’s a new breed of special.

    • Irma

      Purple!!!!! That’s hilarious! I’d choose purple over how I look in mine (actually, more my passports than my DL)

  18. Doug

    Imy’s a Saggitarius with a Scorpio cusp. (Not sure that’s how you say it…) Like how you hid the year.

    My driving permit is actually fairly good. Acute depiction of me at that time: Sleepy and annoyed.
    My military dependent’s ID makes me look fatter than I am (Which is an amazing feat. Facial pics make e look kinda skinny. (I’m not)) I think it’s because they had me sit down.
    My photo ID ATM card is a nice pic, but it was back when I had really long hard. the blue back ground was simply a sliver at the top. The rest was my hair. Lol!

    • Irma

      Yes that’s how I’d say it! (the zodiac thing). A lot could probably be read into that for people who want to LOL And yes, the hidden year is most definitely on purpose!

  19. Amanda

    Ahaha my birthday is five days after Imy’s birthday! I feel special. :D

    I don’t think I can really relate to most of you with that ID picture thing, because I’ve only had my picture taken by the DMV once. Hey, I’m only fifteen, I only have my permit. But I get my picture taken every year by the school, which has gone on my school ID for the past three years, but their pictures aren’t really that bad.

    • Irma

      School IDs are usually pretty good. And, also, my first DL pic was decent too. But they’ve just gotten worse later on! Actually, to be honest, my DL pics are OK. It’s my passport pics that I refuse to let ANYONE see besides the passport control. HORRIBLE!

  20. Irma

    I love that pretty much everyone can relate. And those who can’t – I hate you ;)

  21. Centaur12

    IT’S THE CAMERA! IT’S THE CAMERA THAT DOES IT!!! it”ll add 25 lbs, or make you look like hell, or give you bed-head, or cross your eyes for you! BLAME THE STINKIN’ CAMERA!!!
