I have [myFirstInitial][myLastName]@gmail.com and have also ended up with tons of misdirected mail (my last name is 1200 people per forebears.io, so similarly uncommon). Some of the better incidents:
- Some woman (whose email address is [myFirstInitial][r][myLastName]@gmail.com) put me on her synagogue internal planning committee mailing list. I have never seen so much drama. They refused to remove my email address until I started doing a "reply all" to their emails with my lunch order.
- A contractor (whose email address I still can't figure out) keeps getting $100k+ quotes sent to my email address. I'll inform the sender, but it never stops happening.
- I received the background info for a small business loan request, including 3 years of tax returns, bank account statements, and credit statements for two folks in Texas.
Short story, nobody's ever been grateful.
