The obvious address of <my common name>.<my very common surname>@gmail.com was still available a couple of years after Gmail was introduced, and I rushed to register it despite already getting a little unintended email on other predictable free mail addresses. I couldn't anticipate the density of misplaced email (allowing me to link multiple parties to the same idiot), the personal insistence of some people (come on, it's me! Your friend —! What do you mean by "I don't know you"?), the ready-made drama (in varied roles: vanished boyfriend, investor in shady businesses, councilman, delinquent debtor...), the quality of delicate misplaced information (with medical records and resumes topping the more obvious invoices, home addresses and bank letters) and the variety of accounts (including e.g. Spotify and a couple of dating sites). Over the years, I've noticed a slight decrease in incorrect addresses entered by human beings matched by an increase of automated emails to incorrectly registered accounts.
