Owned Her License Plate for 15 Years, Suddenly It’s Deemed “Inappropriate” By The State, See Why People Are Upset

For fifteen years, Wendy Auger never expected that the playful reminder she’d bolted to the back of her car would spark a battle with her own state. To her, “PB4WEGO” was nothing more than a cheerful nudge that made people laugh at stoplights. When New Hampshire suddenly declared it “offensive,” it felt as if a private joke had been dragged into a fight she never asked for.

The plate wasn’t simply a quirky decoration; it was woven into her family’s everyday life. Kids giggled when they read it, parents shared knowing grins, and even strangers often rolled down their windows just to say it made their day. For Wendy, that reaction mattered. The humor captured a universal parenting moment, and losing it felt strangely personal.

So when the DMV insisted the message crossed a line, Wendy felt more than annoyance—she felt dismissed. The idea that a harmless bathroom-break reminder could be interpreted as inappropriate bewildered her. She felt as though the state had mistaken her warmth for vulgarity, and that sting pushed her to speak up.
