I had to renew my passport today, so I had to use the Photo Booth.
Well, they’ve certainly changed a bit! I remember the old 4-strip combover slaphead hamlet machines - at least for £2.50 you got 4 different shots.
Not so todays evil machines!
FOUR SQUID!!! AND they have a built in disfigurer to make you look as abnormal as possible for your passport!
So you puts in your £4.00, and up pops the Idiot Card. So, you line your face up with the oval, get your eyes lined up on the eye line... then lean forward to take photo.... damn, you move out of the frame and get a craparse shot.
But luckily, you have the option to retake the photo till you get it right! Hooray!
So strike the pose, and remain stock still as you move only your lower arm to touch the Take Photo button - success.... Oh shit! The fecking camera is on the wonk, and doesn’t take a straight on shot - it’s angled to one side. So, click on retake photo...
...and it sez you only got one chance left to get it right! Shit on a brick - does my head need to tilted left or right to get the full on shot needed? And you can’t cancel the fecker to get your dosh back. PANIC!
Try looking off to the right to compensate...click! DAMN, not quite there, so that’ll have to do.
Now I have to look like a freako on my passport!
No change there then!
They should just accept my profile pic of me as Betamax!
