Glocked and Loaded

I have a common name. How common? Well, there are lots of me in the phone book. Because of this, my Gmail address receives a good share of email that is meant for someone else.

First we have the people who, when entering their email into an online form, use my email address. This results in me getting emails about Redbox DVD rentals, quotes for home remodeling or online registrations for cell phone service. There’s the occassional odd website registration as well.

Next we have the people who send an email to me thinking I’m someone else. These are by far the most entertaining. I was invited to a bachelor party. I received song lyrics. I got some pr0n.

That’s right. A little bit earlier, I received an email with a video attached. It was from a stranger, though I think she’s emailed me before. The name of the video was fairly innocuous. It wasn’t something I would look at and go, oh, that’s pr0n.

I started watching it, then, uh, yeah, there were nekkid people.

I exchanged a couple emails with her and I think I made it clear that I wasn’t who she thought I was and she deleted my email address.

We shall see.
