So earlier today I was trying to get my picture taken so that I could at last start getting driving classes and one get a driving license. I had all the required papers with me, missing only 5 pictures of my face to get started.
I go to the photo-taking machine, insert the needed coins in the machine and try to proceed to getting my picture taken. That's when the fun begins. I'm met with a blank screen, guided in the process only by the machine's voice. I try a couple button combinations, manage to switch the machine's language from French to English, then back French again, but still - no picture taken. I fiddle with the buttons a bit more, start getting frustrated at the 5 euros I just wasted and annoyed overall.
I decide to go back to the office in order to fetch my phone and call customer service to complain. I make the trip to the office, take my phone and go back to the machine in order to find the customer service phone number. Much to my surprise, at the very moment I get into the machine I hear a voice telling me that my picture is about to be taken. I sit, put my most neutral face on, try to guess where to put my face so that I'll be in the center, keep my fingers crossed and here goes, my picture gets taken. Not quite the expected result though...
Next time I guess I'll just go to my local picture shop.
For the sake of posterity, here's the end result (see how neutral I was!) :
