CENTERVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Photos of driving licenses are not always the best, but when a Tennessee woman got her new ID, the photo was perfect – for a furniture store.
Jade Dodd renewed her license online and got it, but to her surprise, the photo was not a photo of her. It only showed an empty chair.
“The lady at the DMV did not really believe me when I was like ‘hey, I need my license,’ ‘Dodd said.” Then she looked it up in the system and goes,’ oh, I have my manager for this. necessary. ‘”
The chair ended up being the focal point of the license because it was the last photo taken and stored in Dodd’s file, the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security told WKRN-TV. The photo was taken by accident, the department said.
Dodd said she was not over the mistake. Instead, she said it lightened the mood amid the coronavirus pandemic and provided her and her colleagues with a few laughs.
“My boss thinks it’s funnier than one,” Dodd added. ‘I was at work and he was pointing to a chair outside his office door and was,’ I thought this was you, I went to swing this morning. ”
She posted the photo on Facebook on August 6, and it has since been shared more than 19,000 times and transformed into various memes.
Dodd got her new license – without the chair.
