A hotel in Sweden used an external booking system for breakfast slots (remnants of CoVID, I guess). To receive breakfast, I had to provide name, email address and a phone number. And read a ~15 phone-screens ToS.

Strangely, no one pointed out the obviously fake email address or phone number when I had the breakfast. Perhaps it wasn't needed after all.

Oh that crap is super common on restaurant wifi too around here.

The funny thing is that they can't actually validate the email address so most just accept whatever (sometimes with a small extra filter to avoid stuff like [e-mail]).

I always use example.com, since it's reserved for examples, and guaranteed that no one is bothered by it. :)

In 8th grade, long ago, my buddy created a hotmail account: deepthroat50005.

he thought it was based on Metal Gear Solid's reference to the Watergate thing. Didn't get the other connotations -- at least not at first. He disowned it, and we laughed about it for a while.

I still use that email for anything that requires an email but I DGAF about. Hasn't been rejected yet...

Ah, the ToS. I sometimes download a game in my Xbox Series X and the TOS is crazy long. What the fck for?
