Ok so i need to share this because i cant stop laughing. Went to pick up a prescription today and the pharmacist handed me someone elses medication. Same name, same pharmacy, same birthday MONTH (not day thankfully). She looked at me like i was trying to commit fraud when i pointed out the wrong address on the bag. Took like 10 minutes to sort out. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me as a Thomas Johnson and i know it wont be the last. Whats the funniest or most ridiculous mix up youve had because of a common name?

Oh man I have a good one. Got called for jury duty and when they called Thomas Johnson, THREE of us stood up. The bailiff looked confused, the judge actually laughed out loud. They had to use our middle names for the rest of the selection process. One of the other Thomases got selected and I didnt so I sometimes wonder if his service counted for my civic duty too lol
THREE of you?? thats incredible. honestly id be terrified of getting someone elses legal stuff mixed up with mine
this actually happens more than you'd think in the legal system. common names cause real headaches with warrants and background checks. my buddy whos a thomas johnson got flagged at a border crossing once because of another thomas johnsons record
I got a linkedin message from a recruiter congratulating me on my new position at google. I do not work at google. Some other Thomas Johnson does apparently. I was very tempted to just say thanks and see how far it would go
My husband is Thomas Johnson and we once got a christmas card addressed to Mr and Mrs Thomas Johnson from people we have never met. It had a family photo and a whole newsletter about their year. We still have it on the fridge because its honestly adorable. Theyve got two kids named Brayden and Kaylee and a golden retriever named Biscuit. Weve been following the saga for 3 years now. They keep sending cards to our address
ok this is my favorite one. please tell me youve never corrected them. i need this to continue
Got someone elses pizza delivery once. The driver called and said "thomas johnson?" and i said yes because thats my name and he brought it right to my door. Didnt realize til i opened it that i definitely didnt order a large meat lovers. Felt bad but also... free pizza. Sorry to the other Thomas Johnson out there who went hungry that night
