I just got my new driver's license in the mail...

[Haole Girl]

And, in the photo, I am ORANGE! Holy cow! I waited 10 long years for a better photo and it is orange! At least, if I ever do anything illegal, nobody would ever recognize me by my photo! lol!

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

1. Mine is much browner than I am in real life

I look like my evil hispanic twin in my photo.

[Haole Girl]

2. ROFL!

Me, too! My husband is laughing at me, as I type this, and saying, "I can't wait to see your passport!" :eyes:

[skygazer]

3. My driver's license photo is the only decent photo ever taken of me

Which figures since I am stubbornly out of step with virtually everything in this world. :P

Perhaps you really are orange and just don't realize it. :rofl:

[Haole Girl]

4. You are so lucky!

I know it sounds terribly petty, and vain, but I've even been told by grocery store clerks (several times, over the past 10 years) that I should get a new dl picture! So... you can imagine my horror when I saw that this time it's WORSE! ugh!

Oh... and, yeah, maybe I am orange and everybody is afraid to tell me!
:rofl:

[idgiehkt]

5. I am laughing so hard at this and I don't know why....

:rofl:

It's just so funny,lol. :hi:

My favorite picture of me ever taken was a drivers liscense picture about ten years ago, since then they've been yucky. And school ID's are worse.

Great, now I have an earworm...."oompa loompa doopidy do...

:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

7. Ha-ha!

[caty]

6. I've never understood

how I could be so beautiful in real life and look so awful in my driver's license photo.

[Haole Girl]

8. Someday, when I'm not so tired...

...I'll post the pic. It really is horrid!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear KC2!

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie!

I don't like mine either...

The guy taking the picture made me take off my glasses...

I always wear those!

So.......I look weird...

Oh well........what are you gonna do? :shrug:

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

10. I know... what are we going to do?

Now they don't even let you take another pic
even if you lose your license... it's a curse!

I'm sure your pic is great, though. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Meh....it's OK...

I look weird without my glasses...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. You get yours in the mail?!

In Oklahoma we get our licenses at Tag Agencies instead of the DMV.
Thank you for making me appreciate Oklahoma. :evilgrin:
:hi:

[Haole Girl]

14. Yeah, it is odd they mail them

:hi:

[Kutjara]

13. I look like Sesame Street's "Burt" in mine.

When it arrived in the mail, I looked at it and thought, "I look like that Muppe.." at which point my wife looked over my shoulder and shouted "you're Burt!!!!" Now, whenever she has a few drinks, she makes me take it out and asks anyone around to guess who I look like. The universal consensus is "Burt."

I'm considering divorce.

[Haole Girl]

15. LOL!

I hope you don't hate me for laughing at that story... but I can just picture it!

:rofl:

[Reciprocity]

16. My photo is always adds ten pounds to my face.

BTW I just this Fri got mine renewed and had to give my thumb prints. Is this just a Texas thing?

[Haole Girl]

17. Yes, I guess so

I don't remember having to give a thumbprint in California.

It doesn't really bother me, though, because the federal government has all my fingerprints in their database from when I worked on "Federal Property" (Yosemite).

[Reciprocity]

18. Where you a park ranger?

My husband and me where national park ranger in the 80s-90s, at the time we did not have to give them. That said I'm not sure about law enforcement.

[Haole Girl]

19. No

I worked for the Curry Company. First job out of college. On the phone they told me it would be entry level, but wouldn't tell me what position. So, naturally, I imagined myself working at the front desk of Yosemite Lodge, or something. When I arrived, the first day, (and I'll never forget this) they asked, "Would you like house keeping or cafeteria?" I said, "What do you mean?" They asked, then, "Do you want to make beds all day or bus dishes?" This sort of shocked me, since I had a college degree. I knew I was in trouble. I bused dishes for 2 weeks. It nearly killed me at that high of an altitude (I was a valley girl, after all, from Sacto.). Anyway, I quit when I was threatened by a young woman, out on some kind of work release program, from using the pay phone (I guess they hired criminals... finger printed an all)! Oh, and, they couldn't promise me they'd get me out of the tent cabin before the first snowfall (and it was early September...and very cold at night)! Not to even mention my tent cabin mate and her boyfriend (yup, that was a bit uncomfortable). I'll never forget how I felt like Superwoman when I came back down to sea level. The whole experience gave me a new appreciation for manual labor. I still think of the whole experience, sometimes, when I wash my face in cold water (since the hot water was very limited also). :hi:

[Reciprocity]

20. Well now I understand why they needed your fingerprints.

The thing that threw me when I became a federal employee was havening to be sworn in.
