Take a moment to consider the photo for your college ID.

At best, it’s passable, and at worst, it should never see the light of day again and definitely shouldn’t be something you have to present to people for the guts of four years, right?

Yeah, we thought as much.

But, no matter how hideous you might believe yours to be, it has nothing – and we mean nothing – on the photo this lad had to use after he decided to provide officials with a Snapchat-filtered image which was, in turn, accepted.

That’s right ladies, it was actually accepted.

Taking to Facebook to share his distress, Dáire wrote: ”Jesus Christ I drunkenly applied for my NUS card and it asked for a photo so I picked one with a Snapchat filter.”

Asking what we’re all thinking, he added: “Why did they accept this? I can never use it as ID.”

Unsurprisingly, Facebook had an absolute field day with thousands of social media users taking the time to like, share and tag their mates in the post.

“This is amazing,” wrote one while another missed the point entirely, writing: “I’m going to do this!”

You can’t help some people…
