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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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 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.)

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

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.

Dang y'all, I had no idea I was living in some weird bubble where no one uses my email addy as a burner. Except the one time someone tried to set up a tindr account with my gmail address, but I just notified them it wasn't me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've never had that issue with email, but there's a real estate broker whose phone number is one digit off from mine, and several of his online listings have my phone number listed. I keep getting calls for him, and it's getting really annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
That's incredible.
I guess Jimmie H just uses my address when he doesn't want to give his real one, because I've never gotten a password change request.
Good luck, ita!
