I think gmail fails sometimes and lets different people sign up for addresses that the delivery system doesn't differentiate. I signed up for firstname.lastname but I am constantly unsubscribing FirstnameLastname from lists. I get a lot of her family correspondence too.
It's a Google alias thing. username.[xyz]=username[xyz]=username[xyz]+[anything here]. It's convenient when you need different identities pointing into the same inbox, but shenanigans when a different person tries to use it.
It's not a fail on gmail's part -- it has simply never bothered with dots in addresses, so FirstLast could never have signed up for that address in the first place. It's her problem if she keeps giving out that address...

I just want to know why people think that address is theirs, if gmail won't let them sign up for j.smith@ if jsmith@ is already taken.
Yeah, it's just people stupid.

My problem, because I get their shit.

Yeah, I know that's what they say. I'm just not fully convinced.
I tracked at least one down, and she had a number in the correct one that was apparently too much to remember when giving her email to people.
I emailed this one once when I noticed a cc to another address. She didn't engage other than to say hers didn't have the dot.
