The super annoying thing about the people that don't know that my email address isn't their email address is when they sign up for accounts with it - Reagen Jul 10, 21:11 6
- I've been getting that a lot. And with shopping websites. How does someone make that mistake twice? -- nm - Max Jul 10, 21:34
- I know of *23* people now that have my email adress with 1 more number or letter in it that give mine out by mistake. - Spawn Jul 10, 21:21 3
  - also, like "Forgot Username?" is a giant gaping hole to kill accounts if they use your email. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 21:24
  - You can get some of that stuff canceled. - Reagen Jul 10, 21:23 1
    - Yeah, that and the Facebook I got canceled. The realtor in Florida with *my* email on her business cards still makes me laugh. - Spawn Jul 10, 21:30
- I've had this problem for months now. I am absolutely certain its someone who used to go to my website and are just using it to be a douche. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 21:18

    - then it seems like he is precisely where he needs to be. -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 21:25 1
      - oh, I completely believe so. He needs to be there. if there is such a thing as a true calling, he has it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:25
- is this the brother you are going to Vatican City for at Christmas? - peglegpete Jul 10, 21:22
- has he ever though of moving to another order? -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 21:15 5
  - oh good lord no. he is very very happy there. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:20 4
    - disturbingly so? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 21:21 3
      - actually no. he chilled out BIG TIME when he joined them. that's how fucking uptight he was. - loosilu Jul 10, 21:22 1
        
        and I am not joking. he became much more normal after he joined a cloistered cult like order. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:23
      - this -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 21:22
- I feel for people who earnestly and sincerely join organizations that go bad, but stuff like this is precisely why I don't grant any inherent stance - Reagen Jul 10, 21:14 1

        errr, one little flowerpot. Dude, I don't even have a balcony. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:25 2
        
        Then that's what you're doing wrong! Too small a pot and not enough sun. -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 21:27 1

        Really? Huh. - kelly Jul 10, 21:29
        
        I know, so I must have stressed it, but I don't know how. I water it when it wilts so I don't think I'm overdoing it. and I cut all the flowers. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:27
