"Coneheads" anyone?

Getting a photo ID can be nerve-racking. You'll likely have to show it off for years, so people tend to try and look their best.

One woman proved no matter how great your photo is, there's still a chance your passport photo can come back looking ... off.

Redditor reece1 posted an image of his girlfriend's passport photo to Reddit on Thursday along with the original, and well, look for yourself.

Somehow the poor woman's totally normal forehead was stretched into a solid sixhead.

According to BuzzFeed, the woman's photo has since been fixed, but not before the internet got a good laugh about the whole thing.

But it seems as if this poor woman wasn't the only person to get a passport photo back with their forehead stretched. Redditor BCThirtyThree also shared his own photo to Reddit.
