Same here. I send everything that is firstlast@gmail straight to junk.

> I also get a lot of email from idiots who don't know their own address

Holy crap there are a lot of them. I've got one bank sending me the dude's statements. He's also been on some interesting trips, seen all his hotel stays, etc.

Same. I don't have a very common name but there are at least two other people who share it. One has used my GMail address to apply for jobs and for his unemployment benefits. I'm guessing he isn't having much luck with either one.

The other finally figured it out but his wife still hasn't after more than a decade. It gets really old receiving reminders to service a vehicle I've never owned from a dealership 2000 miles away among other similar crap.
