I got a very early invite and a very common name straight up with no modifiers.
You have no idea how many emails I get a day for other folks with my name that have added a letter or initial or number or whatever the sender just overlooks.
I started a folder called "wrong guy" years ago. It is has some crazy / funny shit in it.
It's constant weekly bullshit really.
I usually just delete or write back "wrong guy" type of thing if its semi-serious - you know like a job offer or an estranged father writing his son one Christmas morning.
Sometimes I'm polite - sometimes not so much - I tell everyone I am not the guy they are looking for - some get it - others are clueless which leads to stupid bullshit emails where I can say whatever I want and just up the ante - one lady insisted I had to pick up custom made leather dog collars - she just ignored me every time I told her I was teh wrong guy and she needs to check her info - it wasn't until I tried to outfit a BDSM dungeon with her custom leather products that she believed I wasn't the person she was looking for.
Lawyers seem to have a decent sense of humor and a lot of truckers wives send their husbands nude photos / videos while they are on the road. Lots of job offers. Tons of people use my address as an easy believable throw away.
FAR TOO many PTAs and just in general "stupid parent with an internet connection" type bullshit. Bullshit professors out there mass emailing everyone - so many people are oblivious to the bcc: option. The upside is it is so easy to cause mass confusion with a single reply all.
Its amazing to see the bullshit way retail management treats / speaks to employees and especially those looking for a job.
I "replyalled" a retail managers bullshit condescending email to his staff this week - spell and grammar checked for him.
But why bother? Because dudes an asshole - I don't have cable and well we don't even live in the same country...also because I can be an asshole sometimes too...I like using my asshole powers for good.
Its more entertaining than watching TV.
My early invite Gmail address. Its my gift. Its my curse.
Perhaps one day I will write a book called something like:

TL;DR: Early Adopter Common Name First World G-mail Problems.
