But going there is a necessary part of life if you own a car or need a driver's license and, in some states, just need a state issued ID. So instead of complaining about something in a depressing way that you have to do anyway, why not have fun with it? So when I go to the DMV, I buy donuts for the people working there.

I have to say though, I love Twitter user @JonoZalay's method of having fun with the reviled DMV; he has a longstanding history of messing with them.

By taking some incredible license photos.

Zalay's father apparently began the tradition decades ago, by snapping photos of himself as a weird character. Something him and his brother are bearing the torch for.

Zalay shared some of his bizarre and amazing license photos. Taking full advantage of that sweet head of hair, and the ability to grow thick bears, he went all in, creating different personas for each picture.

He documented his latest driver's license update photograph by hitting up a salon and getting completely punked out.

I mean, just behold the glory, what a worthy addition to his already impressive collection of characters.

The DMV, noting his appearance, insisted he take a new photograph. They fell right into his trap.

He wasn't allowed to do the whole thing, however. Lip snarls weren't allowed.

Then, a slight obstacle came his way.

This is a man who suffered for his art.

He did point out that his funny business is sadly, not the most inclusive.
