@stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins @vkc "it really is a valid email address and it really is mine"
@ryanc @stereo4x4 @squalouJenkins some places have started blocking the "+" character in addresses. I use a random email generator service so I can get around that for now, but I don't doubt some places will catch on to that as well.

@vkc Someone joked about *@domain.example. That would work, except with commercial services it'd be too broad instead, even if they'd accept it which they probably wouldn't. :-)

This is always fun when I do the rewards points at the local bookstore or coffee shop or whatever, because they ask "what's your email" and I chuckle as I pull out my phone and hold the line up.
@vkc
They all give me odd looks when I say yourname@mydomain.yikes. -

I've hit several of those over the years. They always ignore my complaints about it.
Also, sites that won't let you change your email address. -
"List all email addresses you've used over the last ten years"
lol, like many of us I've used services to generate unique emails for each account I use online. I have at least a thousand email addresses.
@vkc what country demands this?

"Officer, it'd be faster for me to list the email addresses I haven't used." - me, next time I cross a border probably
@vkc Very Ehrmantraut kind of vibe to it.
I LOVE IT

@vkc funniest part is when you have automatic aliases (or catchall, whatever), when company "foobar" asks for my email and I say "foobar@somedomain" they tend to not believe it works :)
@squalouJenkins @vkc sometimes I get questions like "oh, you work for the company, do you want <employee-only plan>?" because of that 😅

I overly punctuate my main Gmail address so I know who has sold me out.

@dcdeejay I wouldn't cross a border with a cell phone at this point, lol.

@vkc I always worried that my use of 200 different email aliases might get me in trouble when I applied for my student visa. I always just tried to at least make a note about it, but there is no column for explaining this.

Yeah that would be a tad problematic.
About 99% of my email addresses with various companies/services/accounts are of the form <something>@spam.<personal-domain>, which I assume gets some sideeye when people actually look at the addresses.
I've had that domain for over 2 decades so there's a _lot_ of junk in there.

The grocery store: "No, we need your real email address."
Me, slowly turning into Foucault: "That depends largely on what you consider 'real' vis-a-vis how email works." -

Im shocked anyone cared but ya also it is a real email address... Iv been known to put aol@aol.com in to public wifi... So ya an email I can recieve messages at is as real as they would get...

Me, slowly turning into Foucault: "That depends largely on what you consider 'real' vis-a-vis how email works."@vkc Shit, I guess I'm fucked if grocery stores here ever do that. I haven't used a "major" (not Google, or Outlook or Yahoo even) email domain in over a decade.

@elb that's going to have to work if I'm ever asked!

@jesse we have a regional chain that emails us coupons that we actually use/need, now that they've discontinued most paper communication (which is a mixed bag, obviously)
