I don't have to worry too much about identity theft. Only one more person carries my name (I know him) and nobody carries my wife's name.

Yay, I'm special.

But I know for a fact there is someone else with my name. So really I am not trusting this.

It says I'm yuneeq :)

But actually, based on a weird story, I know its false. I once got prescribed a certain allergy medicine by my doctor. The doctor faxed in the prescription to the drugstore.  When I went to go pick up the medicine, they handed it to me without charging me. I get to the car and tell my mom that they didn't charge me, and she made me go back and pay. While walking back into the store I figured out what happened. The package had the wrong address on it! I went back to the pharmacist and they mistakenly switched my package with the guy who prepaid. So apparently, there's some guy, from the same neighborhood, same name, same medical issue, same prescription, gets his prescriptions from the same pharmacy, and on the same day!

Being that your mom was driving I would say you were younger at the time... The pharmacy likely just told you a story cause they forgot to charge you.

The fact that you have no matches now probably means that your story has some missing facts..

YOU ARE STILL UNIQUE ! CONGRATS !

there is only 1 me as well
