Ok so the previous record for funniest rejection reason belonged to Dreamstime for an image that had people in it but no visible faces.? I wanted to stay safe and therefore uploaded the model releases for those subjects as I had releases for everyone in the photo.

Rejected: No model release needed.

Now that’s hilarious stuff.? I’m impressed with the high comedy of a rejection for adding an extra release to an image with those people in it.? However, today, all has been surpassed.? In fact, I’m not sure this one from Shutterstock can EVER be topped.

Not approved. Reason: Approved.

Now it only took me a minute or two to realize “OHHHHH I already submitted the same image!”? That’s so rare for me that I make this kind of mistake I was in shock!? I have a very good organizational system and so it never crossed my mind.? But Not Approved: Approved.? That one made me laugh a GREAT BIG laugh!

Ahhhh!? I love this business.? Thank you funny reviewer.
