A mother of four was shocked when New Hampshire’s DMV told her she had to give up the vanity plates she had for 15 years.
The plates were a playful reminder to her sons to use the bathroom before getting in the car. However, the DMV didn’t see it that way and decided the plates referred to “sexual or excretory acts.”
In 2019, Wendy Auger from Rochester, New Hampshire, was told by the DMV to turn in her vanity license plate after using it for 15 years.
“It would be a real shame if I lose it,” said Wendy, who often gets compliments on her funny plates.
Referencing the state’s motto, “Live free or die,” she added, “If I have to take it off, then I won’t be able to live free.”
Her plates read “PB4WEGO,” reminding her kids to “pee before we go” before getting in the car.
“What parent hasn’t said that to their kids before leaving the house?” she asks. “I’m not one to protest, but this is just ridiculous.”
However, the DMV sent her a letter saying the plates needed to be turned in because they believe the letters refer to “sexual or excretory acts.”
“I’m not a political activist,” she tells CNN. “But this plate isn’t offensive. It’s part of our family and who I am, and there was no reason for them to take it away.”
At the time, Auger had 10 days to return her plate and was allowed to pick another custom plate for free.
After getting the letter, she posted it on Facebook with photos of her plates.
Her post quickly went viral.
One person commented on Auger’s social media page, saying, “This is so ridiculous… It’s funny and cute, and it’s a great reminder!” Another person wrote, “What’s going on?! You’ve had that plate FOREVER.”
A third person suggested, “Maybe it should say Pee or Pay…??? lol”
Responding to those who encouraged her to fight the decision, Auger joked, “Live free or die my arse,” and added, “I might get a plate that says ‘dmv sux,’ but I might get pulled over a lot!”
Her post gained a lot of attention on social media and eventually caught the eye of New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He sent her a message saying: “Hey Wendy, it’s Chris Sununu. Just wanted to let you know we fixed that issue. Sorry for the mix-up and the delay, but common sense won out in the end.”
On August 28, 2019, Auger shared a new Facebook message, announcing her victory.
“This Sassy Momma Has Her Plates!!!,” writes Auger.

According to a source, Queen Camilla was “outraged” by Prince Harry’s visit to his father since it was a “loving son PR stunt.”
With King Charles’ illness diagnosis and Kate Middleton’s “planned” abdominal surgery, all eyes are on the Firm members.
However, Harry’s visit to Britain garnered a lot of attention. Harry flew back to his native country as soon as he found out about his father’s illness.
The media said that Charles was the one who told Harry about his sickness.
It was said that he had seen Charles, but their encounter was brief since Harry was supposedly not allowed to accompany Charles on his helicopter ride to the royal estate of Sandringham, where he recuperates in between treatments.
It’s unclear exactly what the father and son talked about. However, as many had hoped, it is already evident that Harry’s visit did not pave the way for any more peace negotiations.
It was said that Prince William had no plans to meet his brother, and according to Radar Online, Camilla was upset that Harry had met Charles without the palace’s consent.
Her Majesty was incensed.According to a source who spoke to the National Enquirer, Harry arrived with an attitude and flew in from his opulent California residence without the palace’s authority.
Because of the relationships she was establishing with the British press, that made her dangerous. Additionally, there was a clear desire to exchange information on all sides. Harry stated, “And with a family structured around hierarchy and her ascension to the title of Queen Consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that.”
Harry disclosed in an interview with Good Morning America that he hasn’t spoken to his father’s wife in a number of years.
He remarked, “I love every member of my family, despite our differences, so when I see her, we get along just fine.”
“My stepmother is her.” She doesn’t seem like a bad stepmother to me. I observe a woman who married into this establishment and has made every effort to enhance her own image and reputation out of self-interest.
Angela Levin, a royal specialist, claims that Camilla shares Harry’s sentiments and isn’t particularly interested in dating him.
The Duchess used to notice Harry staring at her with a long, chilly gaze out of the corner of her eye and was always very afraid of him. It was a little unsettling to her. “Apart from that, they got along pretty well,” says Levin in her recently released book Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort.
The insider went on to say of Harry’s most recent visit: “Camilla has taken it all in stride, but portraying her husband’s illness as a ‘loving son’ publicity gimmick was the final straw.
“I hear she told Harry he’s a disgrace to his father, the family, and the monarchy— and she left no doubt he isn’t wanted back!” is what I’ve heard happened after the father-son reunion.
