Apparently, motorists in North Carolina have been unwittingly driving around with license plates sporting the letters WTF.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination. Officials learned last year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and cell phone text messages.
But this week, the DMV officials got another surprise when they learned the same letters appeared on the agency’s own Web site on a sample personalized plate.
“I can’t believe it,” DMV Commissioner Bill Gore said Monday when told about the online glitch. “Obviously, I didn’t know it was there.”
Officials are working to remove the sample plate.
The “officials” have figured out how to remove the sample plate, I checked.
A 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate last July after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.
So, they got 10,000 people rolling around the state with WTF tags and no older people are even taking notice until, some teenage grandchildren spill the beans.
Nice going teenage grandchildren of a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville. Little bunch of buzzkills.
We can only hope that one of these motorists switches to personalized LMAO plates.
