We’ve got too many first world problems nowadays, and one of them is this: sending a Snapchat filtered selfie for a student card…and having it been accepted.
Daire Shaw is a 19-year-old student from Northern Ireland and is going to study in Liverpool. After a returning drunk at 5:30 a.m. from a night out, he decided to get into Snapchat to take some filtered selfies.
Okay, nothing wrong…until he realized he sent an image of his filtered selfie as part of his application for an international student ID card in NUS (not the National University of Singapore we know of, but National Union of Students in the UK). Well, in fact, he was so drunk, he didn’t even remember doing it.
The shocker isn’t what he did, but what happened after that.
Apparently, NUS didn’t get the joke, and decided to use that photo—no questions asked. According to an interview he did with Metro, the union did not contact him to verify whether it was the correct photo.
When Daire Shaw received the card, he posted it on Facebook and it got viral, plus lots of laughs.
In case you couldn’t read what he typed, here’s the text:
Jesus Christ I drunkenly applied for my NUS card and it asked for a photo so I picked one with a snapchat filter why did they accept this I can never use it as ID
It has since garnered over 15K reactions and over 3.7k comments.
So, how did the story end? As funny as it began: a replacement card would cost £12 (about SGD$20), so he decided to keep it.
Makes sense—it’s a great conversation-starter.
