I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

A lot of people around me are genuinely confused when your email is not firstname.lastname@gmail.com, as they mostly just use it for confirming logins. That's how bad the situation is.

    I recently started using a + in my email address to make use-specific aliases, so I can more easily filter content from them or see if they're leaking my email.

    I signed up for a rewards program in person the other day and the strange look I got:

    Do you have an account with us?

    Idk

    I can look up your email

    Ok, it's foo@bar.com

    I don't see it, would you like to make an account?

    Yes, but instead of that email, make it foo+yourcompany@bar.com

    Uhhhhh.... Ok....

    Like "you don't have an account but you have an email specifically for our business? Sus AF"
