Same with a custom domain I had for emails. People just expect you to say "@gmail.com".
- MivLives 4y agoI had both of these problems. My number used to be something like 555-348-8889. My email uses a domain hack of my last name so like Bob@smi.th. The former eventually changed to something equally ridiculous but easier to say, the latter I'm still trying to figure out how to say out loud after 8 years.
- asdkhadsj 4y agohah, i have bobs.mi (ie intentionally missing last letters of my name, letting me do bobs.mi/th sort of stuff). I've often debated setting my email up.. maybe i shouldn't, /shrug Though i don't know what i'd use anyway. me@bobs.mi sounds .. annoying to say over the phone lol. Maybe i lean into it, at@bobs.mi or space@bobs.mi... heh
- MivLives 4y agoMine's actually bob@bobsmi.th, which isn't too bad (one of my roommates uses my domain on resumes for some reason with a carl@bobsmi.th style). If you want to be really obnoxcious just have your full on name. bobsmith@bobs.mi, or maybe a email@bobs.mi I also have a backup gmail that just dumps to my main inboc of just my full name if I don't want to bother with trying to explain
- logifail 4y ago> Same with a custom domain I had for emails. People just expect you to say "@gmail.com" Yup. For a looong time my email address has been the same: $firstname@$lastname.com When I'm giving it to someone new it usually takes a few tries for them to get it right, even if they already know both my first and last names :/
