A special needs teacher hilariously sent photos of herself instead of her car to an insurance company.

Alyssa Stringfellow was asked to take front and side profile photos before her car insurance could be completed.

When does Rosh Hashanah end and when is Yom Kippur 2020?

But the 25-year-old misunderstood and instead posed for a sequence of images and sent them to her insurer.

Alyssa was left red-faced after realising her mistake last week, and quickly sent across the correct images of the car.


She has since shared her post to give others a laugh at her expense.

Alyssa, from Arkansas, US, said: ‘I was insuring myself on my grandmother’s car insurance when I decided to pose for the photos.

‘I was totally embarrassed and mortified that his entire office had seen my photos.

‘I did think it was strange that he wanted photos of me but I just thought he must need them to identify who I was.

‘My grandmother Carolyn was like, “he’s insuring the car not you”, and we’ve all laughed about it since.

She added: ‘I decided to add myself to Carolyn’s car and the insurance company rang her with the details I needed and their email address.

‘This included my driver’s license number, my date of birth, and a picture straight on and a picture taken from each side.

‘I emailed the information along with the pictures that night but I woke up to them asking for the same photos but for the car.

‘He’d told my grandma on the phone that he and his entire office were in hysterics at my obvious misunderstanding.

‘It was such a blonde moment but it has given so many people a laugh that I don’t care anymore.’
