Vanity plates you DON'T want

[chiph]

We're up to what, five threads on vanity plates that people have bought? So how about an anti-vanity thread -- where you post plates (real or ficticious) that people probably don't want on their cars.

Here's a real one:
NOPLATE
This owner received several hundred citations in the mail, because when the highway patrol wrote a ticket where the car was missing it's license tag, they would write "No plate" in the field on the form. The computer triumphantly matched this up with Mr. Custom License Plate, and sent them all to him.

Here's a fake one:

Officer, I know I was speeding, but why did you pat me down?

I saw one yesterday that made me think twice: ERR 4268. Being a programmer, I wouldn't want any plate that started with ERR!

@2ffat:

Tennessee 2001 Passenger issue. These plates have also caused a stir in some cases due to the lax standard that the state used to weed out potentially offensive letter combinations. The state made national news, for example, for issuing plates in one county in the "FAT" series. The example in the scan shows another "questionable" combination (one that I couldn't pass up.) This particular plate was issued in Knox county.
