For over 15 years, Wendy Auger of Rochester, New Hampshire, proudly displayed the custom license plate “PB4WEGO” (“Pee Before We Go”), a lighthearted parenting reminder that often made people smile.
But in 2019, the New Hampshire DMV suddenly ordered her to surrender the plate, claiming it referred to “sexual or excretory acts or functions” and was therefore inappropriate. Wendy was stunned, arguing that the phrase was a harmless expression familiar to parents everywhere.
Refusing to back down, she shared the DMV notice online. The story quickly went viral, with thousands of people supporting her and criticizing the decision as absurd. As national attention grew, the issue reached Governor Chris Sununu, who personally intervened and reversed the DMV’s order, calling it a bureaucratic mistake.
Wendy celebrated the victory on social media, keeping her beloved “PB4WEGO” plate. The episode became a reminder that common sense can still prevail—and that sometimes even a small fight over a license plate can become a win for freedom, humor, and everyday people.
