Hope you're a responsible adult
At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!
At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.
At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.
I use proton and they have this feature to generate a random email address based on the sits or a note. It's a little more advanced then user+microsoft@proton.me. and you can deactivate the address so your main inbox stops getting spam.
My man!

Young age: "xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@notevilmail.com is a cool e-mail address!"
Early adulthood: "Noooo, I need to be professional, my mail is now johnsmith1994@notevilmail.com!"
Late adulthood: "For the sake of my privacy, I"m now using xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@privacymail.com."
Look, I got a DEFINITIVE ARTICLE and NO numbers. Only the OGs rock that stuff.
Forever ago, in a post about "applying for jobs after graduating college" tips on Ask[fuckyouspez], I suggested creating a new email address like FirstName.MI.LastName and use that for applying to jobs, definitely don't use your old email like Xx_PussyDestroyer420_xX@hotmail.com.
I got banned from the sub for violating their rule of "don't post emails addresses".
I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.
On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.
Yep. I'm old enough to have 2 such email addresses.
I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be 'anonymous' as everyone on the internet was a murderer.
Rocking my Hotmail since 1998.
Still ocassionaly typo HotMale and get a surprise.
Also still remember the throwaway my friend and I created to sign up for porn site newsletters on dial-up.
My email is banchotxx😂
Mr. and Mrs. McGill,
Thank you for your time. While the vicious poisoning of your son was a horrific tragedy, I am sure that with the evidence we discussed, justice will be served and the perpetrators will be made to financially compensate your shattered family. If you need to contact me or any of the other lawyers at our firm regarding this important matter, you can reach me at s3XXXyS8ergurl69@aol.com.
Darn s8ers
He was a sater oy, she said, "See you ater, oy"
I have hundreds of e-mail addresses and aliases...
Email aliases incredibly underrated
You wouldn't believe the amount of unprofessional email addresses I saw when I used to do hiring. It sounds like a meme but please think before using bigjuicy69@hotmail.com as your contact email!
Hey how did you get my email address??
The job application process, have you not been paying attention?

First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.

I can’t imagine what people have to listen to when they ask a customer for their email address. There will be sane people that have a “normal” address for such purposes, then there will be the ones that keep “pussysmasher_hobag@whatever.com” as some kind of flex and make everyone else have to copy that down.
I still use my aim screen name as my spam email since roughly age 10. If aol ever shuts down, I'll be in trouble.
I mean, you are allowed more than one email address
My mom made my first email on KOL(AOL for kids) and misspelled my name. To this day my gmail has that misspelling in it.

Me at age 6, picking my username (and therefore first email address), knowing that it needs to be unique so I can use it for all accounts online, and also have meaning behind it so I don't look like an idiot when I'm an adult: 🐺🖥️🌐

Luckily I just picked my name and a zip number.
Two problems; zip number is kind of a personal info, and at that age I didn't even know my zip number properly and made an error, which persists 20 years later.
Relevant username. I'll catch you one day Mr. Redacted
And when he does you better say goodbye to your vegetables.
I always used multiple emails, depending on whether they were for professional use or hobby use.
I thought an email adress was like a website. My first email has a www. in front. Luckily my name is so unique, I can create new ones with my name on every service
Putting www. at the start of an email is very funny I might do that one say - i often go with youcancontact(myname)@service(com), adding www would make me giggle and confuse everyone i have to read it out to
I have an email address that's kind of tricky to read aloud. As decades went on, it's less and less funny, to be frank.
Luckily the service also gave me a firstname dot lastname type alias. I've lately been giving it out if I have to say it over the phone or something. ...Also I guess it looks more professional in CVs or something. (...still annoys me a bit because it's my boring name and I'm a trans girl, though.)
