▲ Driver's license with a picture of the chair
In the United States, a woman faced a rather absurd situation in which her newly issued driver's license had a picture of an empty chair instead of her face.
According to Fox News on the 13th, Jade Dodd, 25, who lives in Tennessee, recently applied for a driver's license renewal to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) online and received a new license by mail.
Dodd's mother was the first to discover the strangeness.
Dodd said that while going for lunch, his mother suddenly said, "Look at this. It's not right," and pointed at the picture of the license.
It turned out that the whole story of the'chair license' case, as if there was an invisible man sitting on it, was a mistake by the responsible institution.
When Dodd visited the DMV for the last time, a photo of the wrong chair was saved as a file under Dodd's name, and a license was issued.
Authorities said, "As soon as the department became aware of Dodd's situation, it immediately corrected the mistake and issued a license with a correct picture."
Dodd uploaded a photo of the license issued by mistake on Facebook, and netizens reborn it as a meme (photo or video created using trendy elements).
Considering the fact that the license is used for adult authentication, a variety of parodies lined up, from memes synthesized like'empty chairs' buying beer to'empty chairs' sitting in the driver's seat.
Dodd also said that his boss was the most enjoyable of this situation, and he joked that he saw a chair outside the office and said, "I thought it was you and said hello in the morning."
