I have my own domain and a catch-all setup, so when I sign up for a service, it's the-service-name@my-domain-name.com, if I give someone my email address, it's their-name@my-domain-name.com

It makes it easy for me to keep track of who is sending me what + who is sharing my email with third parties, but definitely confuses some people.

Samsung is particularly annoying about this. You can't sign up for an account with "Samsung" in the user portion. They'll straight up block samsung@yourdomain.net, so I've resorted to misspelling their name in the email address and they seem perfectly fine with that.
I've been using sam.sung@domain for them. First time I've come across this block in years of using this method.
