The DMV gave me the worst plates imaginable 🙄

Transcript

The DMV gave me the worst plates imaginable. The worst combination of numbers. Are you kidding me? I'm going to have teenagers and little kids shouting at me while I'm driving on the highway. And I'm going to have parents that are pissed because their kids are being effing annoying because of the 67, whatever that means, and the 69. So it didn't just have to be a 69 or just a 67, it had to be a 69 and a 67. And it didn't have to be, like, why couldn't it have been a 976? No, it had to be 6967. So, I think I'm going to have to request to change my plates.

I fear the DMV has it out for me. I should have just kept my out-of-state license and plates for as long as possible 😭 #dmv #carstiktok #whatjusthappened
