I'm just frustrated. I can't imagine living my life being that clueless.
I hear you. I have a ongoing feud with some dude in Australia who keeps signing up for accounts for things like TripAdvisor and sites to sell used cars with my gmail address.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I see people doing really dumb stuff a lot. Standing in the middle of a busy intersection to text, for one. Another was the guy who was walking along, staring at his phone, heading for the escalator ... only he didn't notice he was about to try to go up the down escalator and was quite surprised when he stepped on and got moved backwards.
In non-idiot news, job ma for ita!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mine is named Lisa. She lives in Indiana and she graduated from High School last spring. She has a lot of random website profiles out there with changed passwords she can't recover (because I get the reset emails. repeatedly.) and profile bios saying "this account was set up by someone who doesn't even know her own email address".

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My husband got emails from a someone else's credit union account. It took us a while to convince them that it might be a security risk, and they might wanna fix it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'll get RIGHT on that.
Look, you get yourself a last name that (counts on fingers) a dozen other people in the world share, problem solved. This is me solutioning, ita!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I still have an account related to Perkins, which now gets me huge amounts of email for a born again helicopter mom in Texas who sells jewelry online that most of her customers don't like once they get it.

I have 2 gmail addresses, one for a very specific work process and one for ID on my Galaxy tablet. I have no idea what's in the Inboxes of those emails.

Instant character for a book. That's the buzzline for a novel right there. "And then she was found dead. Was it her overly-supervised child? Did a disgruntled customer decide to take her complaints to the next level?"

I reset the passwords of everything I can access that's not a financial/personal data thing. (Basically, game sites or whatever. Because I *am* that much of a dick. Try signing up with your own email address and you won't have this problem.)

Yep. And because I'm a dick with issues about data privacy, I've actually thought through my rules. Edu or financial records? Lisa's account simply never gets activated and rots forever. Free graduation gift spam she got signed up for by the yearbook photographer? Password reset. Game site? Profile edits.
