I have an email address that’s kind of tricky to read aloud. As decades went on, it’s less and less funny, to be frank.
Luckily the service also gave me a firstname dot lastname type alias. I’ve lately been giving it out if I have to say it over the phone or something. …Also I guess it looks more professional in CVs or something.
I had some silly ones when I was younger, but I also made one that’s <first name>.<last name>@<service>.com which I’m using to this day. The only problem is that from time to time I get emails seemingly addressed to the fella using the same address, but without the dot between the names.
Many services including Gmail silently ignore periods in localparts, so foo.bar and foobar are the same address.
I know, but in my case it’s like the opposite - i.e. someone sending a mail to firstnamelastname and me (firstname.lastname) receiving it as well (or instead, I don’t know).
Weirdly I’m thankful someone stole and changed my password to dbzboy19@hotmail.com when I was in high school. It prompted me to generate a new, more respectable, email address. Otherwise this would be a pretty unfortunate reality for me.
That being said, fuck that guy. feel free to send that email spam and gross images on my behalf to fill up their storage.
i changed my provider in recent jears but still kept the typo from my old one
My email is banchotxx😂

Funny… half the platforms I had email addresses are gone. How’d she manage to find the one that survived.?

I still use my aim screen name as my spam email since roughly age 10. If aol ever shuts down, I’ll be in trouble.
