A dad's new credit card turned out horribly wrong

Oh no.

Would you be less likely to waste money if you had to look at your own disapproving face every time you did it?

Twitter user @roasted_weenie posted pictures of her dad's new credit card. The company asked if he wanted to add a photo, and he assumed that it would be used for a tiny box in the corner of the card for preventing fraud.

His new card will probably deter identity theft, but not in the way he expected.

Instead of receiving a normal card, @roasted_weenie's dad got a card with an uncomfortable close-up of his own face. Everything about the card, from his deadpanned gaze to the slightly raised left eyebrow, makes this card a masterpiece.

"HE PLAYED HIMSELF BRUH," @roasted_weenie tweeted.

Although @roasted_weenie and her mom thought it was hilarious

He's not the only one who's made that mistake.

Is it really that bad if he never has to worry about a stolen card again?

Granted, he might end up traumatizing some poor cashier.

At least he'll never have to show proof of ID.
