We have a couple women in my office who are a leetle too fond of perfume. One of them, about ten minutes after she'd arrived, I could smell her perfume in the lobby. Sometimes the perfume triggers my allergies ... which tempts me to sneeze on them.

Fingers crossed for you ita!!

And I would love one of you to open me a tab. ;)

Oh, I hate room fresheners. Fake floral and fruit scents are of the devil.

I am so sick and tired of people hijacking my email address. It's first name dot last name at gmail, but any variation of that also comes to me, with or without punctuation. I've had people sign up for Facebook accounts, I get bills from Orange mobile in the Dominican, and I get order receipts and shipping notifications for Marks and Spencer in England amongst other things.

I wish there was some way to make it stop.

edit: And I get dance school notifications/bills and I'm on a kid's soccer league distribution list in New Zealand. These are run by people, yet I can't convince anyone to take me off of them because I'm not the person who lives in Auckland.

It happens to me, too. I don't know if people really think that their version of my address, but with a dot in the middle, is their actual email, or if they just use it as a burner, or whatever. But it's annoying as hell.

(I don't know how they can actually think it's their email, because they wouldn't be able to log in to gmail with that email address. It makes no sense to me.)

t edit I just tried it -- logging in with my email but a dot in the middle, and it logged me in as me. So I feel like these have to be throwaway addresses people use when they're forced to enter an email address to sign up for stuff.

The dots in gmail addresses don't mean anything. I have a couple of those people, too -- mostly Jimmie H.

I get way too many gmail things that aren't mine too. School stuff, doctor's appointments, and a lot of pinterest lately. Annoying. I used to write back and tell them wrong address, but I stopped bothering.

It's driving me nuts. Evidently someone named Marian is planning a Costa Rican trip with a bunch of friends, and I'm getting looped in on everything. And I can't get them to take me off the list.

They're convinced they have the right email. ARGH.

shrift, I'm not very happy with your people right now...

That's what I meant; my address is first initial middle initial last name, but with no dots. I get email that uses first initial middle initial last name, but with a dot thrown in here or there. I knew they didn't mean anything, which is why I said I wondered if the people tried to log in with that email address, because it wouldn't work, because even the addresses with dots "belong" to me. (I'm fighting a migraine and might only be making sense in my own head.)
