There’s a woman in England whose email address differs ever so slightly from one of mine. People she does business with are constantly forgetting to add the 1 after her name, resulting in a lot of her mail—including some quite sensitive information—landing in my inbox instead of hers. This has been going on for YEARS, to the point that I have replied to some of the businesses (when it is clearly a real communication, not spam) in hopes of a redirect.

After the second time her hair appointment reminder came to me, I actually looked up the salon and wrote them directly. They told me they passed on the message and the woman was so embarrassed, said it happens all the time. At least now I can forward her the misdirected mail myself.

Anyway, I’m really sorry her car loan application was denied but props to her for signing up for that tap dancing class!
