Default Dipstick Problem

I went to check my oil and one side of the dip stick was reading much higher then the other. It doesnt seem to be bent or anything and i checked it on level ground. does anyone have this issue or can explain this to me?

go by the lower one. The higher one hits something when you pull it out. I forget what it is exactly. billman told me this awhile back
