The plates are a gentle reminder to each of her sons to use the potty before jumping into the car.<\/p>\n
But, failing to appreciate Wendy Auger\u2019s harmless message, the DMV determined the plates referred to \u201csexual or excretory acts or functions.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2019, Wendy Auger, of Rochester, New Hampshire, was instructed by New Hampshire\u2019s DMV to turn in the vanity license plate she used for 15 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would just stink if I don\u2019t have it anymore,\u201d said the mother of four, who frequently receives compliments over her hilarious plates.<\/p>\n
Referring to the state\u2019s motto, \u201clive free or die,\u201d Auger then adds, \u201cIf I have to take it off the plate, then I\u2019m not going to be able to live free.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her plates read \u201cPB4WEGO,\u201d which reminds her\u00a0children\u00a0that before they hop into the car to \u201cpee before we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho has a mom or dad or parental figure who hasn\u2019t said that to kids before leaving the house?\u201d the paralegal asks. \u201cI\u2019m not the type to sit here with a picket, but come on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not a political activist,\u201d she tells CNN. \u201cBut this is a non-offensive thing that I\u2019ve had and it\u2019s part of who we are as a\u00a0family\u00a0and who I am and there was zero reason for them to take it away.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the letter sent by the DMV that demands the surrender of the plates, the combination of letters in her plates refer to \u201csexual or excretory acts or functions.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the time, Auger had\u00a010\u00a0days to turn in her plate and was given the option to choose another customized plate at no extra cost.<\/p>\n
After she received the letter, the woman shared the recall letter on Facebook along with photos of her plates.<\/p>\n
The post went viral. One netizen comments on Auger\u2019s social media page: \u201cSuch a ridiculous situation\u2026 Not only is it funny and cute, it\u2019s a really good reminder!\u201d And a second writes, \u201cwhat\u2019s going on?! You\u2019ve had that plate FOREVER.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third offers a solution, \u201cWould that be Pee or Pay\u2026??? lol\u201d<\/p>\n
