... and keeps fucking up?

Some high school hooligan in my old neighborhood keeps fucking up, and parents/other people keep showing up to my parents door/calling asking for the kid. Cant help it the douche bag has the same name as me! (i need to remove my name from the neighborhood directory)

The best part is when they call and I happen to be at my parents house and I answer the phone (like last night)

- Is this Matthew
ME: uhhh yes?!
- This is so and so's parents... short story about kid sneaking out and its becuase of "me" and im cuasig trouble....
ME: I dont think you know who I am..
-(cuts me off) "oh, I know all about you, you have been nothing but trouble in this neighbor hood for too long, let me talk to your parents."
Me: "You didnt let me finish, I dont think you know who I am becuase im 25... the other matthew lives across the neighborhood."
-"let me talk to your parents"
Me: "Ok, but I dont want to get grounded!"

I need to be more funny if this happens again!

Someone with my name has a delinquent $500 credit card at JC Penney. They won't stop calling my parents and mailing letters to their house. I'm not even sure why they are sending stuff there since I never lived there. They seem to have finally stopped, though.

12/11/2008 12:00:05 PM

someone with the same name as me died in October, lol

12/11/2008 12:00:26 PM

I just hope this bastard doesnt take a credit card mailing out of the mailbox at my parents. this kid is trouble, parents have been calling for years and he is only a sophmore in HS... maybe a "cuationary messure" should be taken to secure my identity!

ID theft sucks

12/11/2008 12:03:25 PM

There are plenty of people with my name that suck on the public/pop culture stage. But none of my friends or the people I know and hang out with have my name.

One of the benefits of having a semi-unique name.

The cops in my home town came over and harassed my younger brother when all of us where in Raleigh moving in to our apartment. The officer claimed that my truck had been identified by some drunk Marines as the vehicle which some kids used to go around smashing mailboxes around the town.

Oddly enough, the mailbox beatings started in the neighborhood where we were the night before at a friends house, crosses hwy 70 to our neighborhood and goes on past our house. Also, we don't have a mailbox so the cops were more inclined to believe that my brothers and I did it. After we got back into town we went to the police station and waited for that officer to come in. He didn't want to believe that we didn't do it until we mentioned that our grandmother's mailbox was bashed as well. After that he loosened up and went on investigating some other kids.

My dad almost got arrested. The cops showed up with an arrest warrant but we insisted they double check it. Turns out it was somebody from TN with the same name, first middle last. It was also supposed to be Madison county (in TN) not the town of Madison (in NC).

lols were not had by anyone

Got a call from somebody when i was in Highschool. Apparently somebody with the same name as me never bothered to make payments on his collegel loans, i think they said it was like 100k or something.

I was lilke ummmm i am still in high school

12/11/2008 12:14:26 PM

i have yet to find someone with the same name as me. My last name is not common.

12/11/2008 12:16:03 PM

A few years ago we hired a guy a work with the same name(except one letter) as me. After he was fired evidently he stopped paying his bills so the collectors starting calling work. They of course transfered them to me...and my voicemail has my cell number on it, which the collectors quickly added to their database. Hilarity did not ensue.

One of the benefits of having a semi-unique two-worded name. Unfortunately, lots of people can't bend their mind around that concept.

12/11/2008 12:19:12 PM

went to hs with a guy with the same name and middle initial. one semester i got his report card but i looked at the grades first which were all Cs and Ds and i was like . im sure when he got my report card he was happy

12/11/2008 12:48:21 PM

12/11/2008 1:12:16 PM

there's a kid with the same first, middle, and last name AND birthday (month and day) as my brother...except my brother was born in 1985 in nash county, and this kid was born in 1989 in wake. the kid in wake is a complete fuck up, has several B&E charges, robberies, etc. so when my matthew was trying to get an apartment in wilmington while in college and they ran a background check or something, he got rejected.

turns out, some dumb bitch who processes the papers at whatever state agency that keeps track of that stuff just looked up the name, didn't bother to check birth year or social security number. we got the run around several times from that office while trying to get it fixed. dad ended up having to track down the arresting officer on the most recent incident and get him to make a statement saying that our matthew is not the matthew who did this shit.

insane

No one has the same name as me. I am unique.

I thought that too, but I've had people turn me into Michelle (one of my middle names and close to my first name) McMurray or McCartry before.

They just can't get over my name

12/11/2008 1:19:14 PM

I am the only one in the world with my name.

12/11/2008 1:27:01 PM

Some criminal guy in Rocky Mount back in the 80's had the same name as my dad. All the grocery stores, Kmart, etc. kept lists of bad check writers and they would never take a check from my dad because his name was always on the list from that other guy's actions. To make it worse, people would call all the time asking about weed or threatening him if he didn't bring their money back. It was kind of comical that people would look you up in the phone book to threaten you over some money.

I should look that guy on on a background search some day. 123nc.com finally has a use for me.
