You think you look great while the photo is being taken, but the second you see your printed license it's clear that it's the WORST PHOTO OF YOUR LIFE. Why is that?
Because the people at the DMV are fucking with you.
There's nothing wrong with the equipment, and his finger didn't slip.
They want doormen and the police to laugh at you.
Now it all makes sense why they count down from five, but take the photo at three.
Or why they seemingly draw your attention to a decoy camera.
