Darn s8ers
He was a sater oy, she said, “See you ater, oy”
Young age: “xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@notevilmail.com is a cool e-mail address!”
Early adulthood: “Noooo, I need to be professional, my mail is now johnsmith1994@notevilmail.com!”
Late adulthood: “For the sake of my privacy, I"m now using xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@privacymail.com.”
At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!
At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.
At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.
I use proton and they have this feature to generate a random email address based on the sits or a note. It’s a little more advanced then user+microsoft@proton.me. and you can deactivate the address so your main inbox stops getting spam.
I’m at that last stage now but fuck I’m too lazy to change again 🤣
At least I have my burner address…
First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.
Susan Hart disagrees.
So does Alan Buser.
I dont know why but this reminds me of the joke in arrested development where tobias wanted to be an analytical therapist and he made it into the portmanteau “analrapist” 😂
Anal bum cover
Ok, so it also fails sometimes when your name is unfortunate. But other than those times that it fails, it never fails.
60% of the time it works every time 😉
I knew two D. Adcocks. Their email address must be fun.
Double dadcocks.
I worked with a Barb Adcock! Her E-mail was indeed [firstinitial][lastname]@school, which must’ve been a hoot with students.
Surely, someone should’ve seen Barb and my acquaintances and give them
[first**name**][lastname]@server.comemail addresses.On a similar topic to your story, my mother worked at a high school when I was young, and in her second marriage her last name was Dick. Only took a couple weeks for her to go back to going by her maiden name at the school.

Me at age 6, picking my username (and therefore first email address), knowing that it needs to be unique so I can use it for all accounts online, and also have meaning behind it so I don’t look like an idiot when I’m an adult: 🐺🖥️🌐
(this name is 27 years old and counting)
I was 10 when the Internet because publicly accessible, and 13 when I made my first ever email address. I used my current username as my email handle, which was an abbreviated version of my name.
It took me like 10 seconds to come up with it. I had a cute girlfriend who was insisting I make a private email because I was sharing my mother’s email account and my girlfriend didn’t like my mother having access to our private conversations.
It’s been 29 years now and I’m still using this username. My original email is long gone, but the username lives on.
This one is from AOL. Circa 1993/1994
E: ah, you meant your username. Nice!
Yeah, that UI isn’t from Win 9x or anything I recognize. But my first account was with AOL as well, ha.
Nice. I cannot even remember my username from back then. Lost it sometime between military and college.
My mom made my first email on KOL(AOL for kids) and misspelled my name. To this day my gmail has that misspelling in it.
Mikie?
Micheal, pretty sure I’ve given a few dyslexic people a real hard time when I put that in the email field and the correct spelling in the first name field.
Does make getting account names easier, as anything with the proper spelling for Michael is already taken
I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.
I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be ‘anonymous’ as everyone on the internet was a murderer.
Yep. I’m old enough to have 2 such email addresses.
On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.
Forever ago, in a post about “applying for jobs after graduating college” tips on Ask[fuckyouspez], I suggested creating a new email address like FirstName.MI.LastName and use that for applying to jobs, definitely don’t use your old email like Xx_PussyDestroyer420_xX@hotmail.com.
I got banned from the sub for violating their rule of “don’t post emails addresses”.
First initial and full last name, 6 characters which is the minimum for Gmail. Thank you younger responsible self!
I can’t imagine what people have to listen to when they ask a customer for their email address. There will be sane people that have a “normal” address for such purposes, then there will be the ones that keep “pussysmasher_hobag@whatever dot com” as some kind of flex and make everyone else have to copy that down.
You can forward emails from another address for your resume, and I don’t think siriusxm cares
A couple of years ago, I was applying for a work visa, and they needed my college transcripts. Despite matriculating in 19somethingsomethingoldold, my class was one of the first to use an online system that was able to be migrated into multiple subsequent generations of registrar systems, so they needed to have my school email ID, which I hadn’t thought about eleventymilliongetoffmylawn years, so THAT meant placing a call to campus IT, and providing enough personal information for them to look it up.
And that, my online friends, is when you are forced to viscerally confront that you were a deeply cringe knowitall who spent way too much time thinking your personality flaws were edgy superpowers and that knowing the name of a random reference in a Bertrand Russell book you barely understood proved how smart you were.
Fortunately my name and last name aren’t that common so I made an email like name.lastname@mail.com for adult stuff
Rocking my Hotmail since 1998.
Still ocassionaly typo HotMale and get a surprise.
Also still remember the throwaway my friend and I created to sign up for porn site newsletters on dial-up.
