My husband and I bought a new car last month and yesterday the license plates came, the number ended with 666, and I almost had a fit. Told my husband that I don't want those evil numbers, so today we went down to the license office for a chat.

I calmly told the lady, I wanted a different number, and she said I had to pay an additional $32.75 to get a new plate. My husband told her those numbers were obscene and wanted to know why they issued them in the first place. He further asked her if he requested a plate with the "F" word on it would they issue that and she said NO!

At this time I felt sorry for the young girl, since she was only doing her job, and I calmed my husband down, we paid the extra money, took our new plates and left.

What do you all think? Would you just accept the plate as it was, am I being superstitious? My husband thought I was being silly yet he was the one who had the hissy fit at the girl. :really-mad2:

Firstly he had the 'hissy fit' at the girl as you say because they had offended you, not neccessarily because it offended him. Many things can happen to a man that he can take in stride, but do the same thing to his family and watch him let loose :)

And I also get a little superstitious about those numbers, usually during a card game when I get 3 sixes lol.

I wouldn't worry about my grocery total coming to $6.66 -- it's a one time thing, no big deal. And a man (or woman) in the state of grace has nothing to fear from anyone or anything, including the number 6.

HOWEVER...

A license plate -- something you have for 6 or 7 years? I think I'd pay the $32 and get a new one. I wouldn't want to identify with 666. And yes, a license plate is a kind of identity -- why do you think so many people get vanity plates?

Nothing will happen to you if you have the number 666 on your licence. It's just a number. My brother's cell phone number begins with the number 666.

By the way, a few years back after my conversion back to God, I had realized how bad TV was and had wanted to not watch it anymore. Well, when the licence plate for my new car came, I found it ironic (and a bit upsetting) that the first 4 letters/numbers were 4ZTV (which sounds like "for the TV"). Coincidentally, the last 3 numbers were the year last 3 numbers of the year I graduated high school.

I wasn't worried or concerned about something happening to me, just did not want that number associated with me. If it doesn't bother you Alex that is fine, you are a better person than I, but it bothered me, so I took care of the problem.

Just curious about what others here thought.

No way to 666, or to 333x2.

It would bother me too but not because I thought something bad would happen but because, like you said, I wouldn't want to be associated with that number either. I didn't like the fact that my brother's cell started with those numbers and commented to him about it. But he didn't seem to mind.
