... lately I have not been in the best head space. Just lots of things and going on and emotionally I'm not all here right now. It's really messing me up on every day kinds of things. And at the moment it is giving me the overwhelming urge to call the phone number given on the Outback order recept for Samantha Karam and ask her to please use her own email address. Either that or call the CT Outback and tell them that the email is not hers and they should let her know. I don't know what the point of either of these actions would be and I'm not a "confrontational with strangers" person, but my stupid head is giving me stupid ideas. I think I need to leave the house. *sighs* - Rachel Lea Fox

Hugs Rachel. I think a walk sounds like a nice idea. I hope you feel better soon. - Georgia

A walk does sound like a good idea. Hope you come back refreshed ((hugs)) - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

*hugs* A walk could be good. And snuggles with the kittehs! - Katy S

I'll call Samantha for you. "Excuse me. Hi. You don't know me. AND YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR OWN DAMN EMAIL ADDRESS." *click* - Stephen Mack

Also: ((Rachel)) - Stephen Mack

Thanks all. This stuff happens so often I don't know why I'm worked up. Just my head space and a phone number (if it's even hers). I'll get over it. - Rachel Lea Fox

O.o WTF, that happens often?! - Soup in a TARDIS

Oh, man...I"m sorry you're not in a good place, but I can certainly understand how you feel. I get calls about a kid in a different school district and about how my non-existent Honda needs service in Florida. It drives me crazy and every once in awhile, I just have to go on a rampage about it. - Anika

((Rachel)) Hope you get feeling better - head-space issues can be the worst. I'm a little concerned that peeps are guessing your email address that easily - echoing Soup's O.o ... I've been following the Mat Honan-got-hacked story a little too obsessively, maybe, and even though this is a front-end thing, I wonder if you want to take a few minutes and lock down the back end of your email just in case ... Change the password, turn on two-step authentication if you can, set up a different address to use as the login to services you care about. Or, go for a walk, get a hot fudge sundae and ask Kevin to take care of this stuff while you're out? - Mary B: #TeamMonique

I hope you're feeling better *hugs* ... I get calls to my home phone often from people looking for a guy (a quite well known guy) who clearly used to have my number. Apparently he owes some money ... - Penny

Soup & Mary B, my email is completely secure. I already have 2-step authentication and I take pretty good care of it. I'm not actually worried about that. But my email is an easy and popular email. One thing that goes along with that is that people pick a word (see my user name for that word) and then add gmail to the end and punch it in. It's not an issue of stealing my email (though in the early days a lot of people did try to steal it and were never successful), people just fill out forms and use it. I don't really know why, it makes no sense to me. Most of it is not spammers, (though I have had spammers on on a rampage filling in my email in thousands of forms) mostly it's normal people. Some maybe have an email close and just mess it up, who knows. I've gotten used to it and generally it doesn't bother me. I just need to delete the Outback receipt. My head is just stupid. I think I'm over it now. Saying it out loud helped!! :) And then I went grocery shopping, which also helped. - Rachel Lea Fox

Anika and Penny you get phone calls that often? I get the used to have your number Penny, but I would think it would stop eventually. I've only ever gotten one strange phone call where a hair salon in North Dakota called me, using my actual name, to confirm my hair appointment. It was very strange. I had to tell them I didn't set up the appointment and that I was in California, where I live. But that was only once. - Rachel Lea Fox

I get one or two calls per month for this guy. And it's funny, because his name is Jack and my answering machine message says "Hi, you've called Penny Pete Jack Mischa and Sophie" so they must assume that my Jack is the Jack they are after. Although the Jack they are after is an old man ... - Penny

We once had the details of a funeral for a friend of (the other) Jack left on the machine ... - Penny

Rachel, the dealership in Florida calls my mobile for about two weeks every 2 or 3 months. The Long Beach School District calls my landline all the time. We get alerts to events happening and every time the kid is absent, which is a lot. I've called the school district to let them know I'm nowhere near their district, but it's been 3 years and they don't care. - Anika

you would think the school district would at least care! - Rachel Lea Fox

I have other people's home addresses, phone numbers, bank account numbers … all because they seem very confused and use my email address instead of their own, and the banks / phone companies / etc. don't seem to care. :( Just today someone thought I sold lathe machines, and someone thought I was involved with “occult hypoperfusion”. Some days it drives me crazy; other days I can politely chuckle. I hope a good walk helps you feel better. - Amit Patel

Oh yeah, both my husband & I get these. We know way more about my husband's name doppelgangers than is healthy. Most of the time he ignores it, although the 1 time he started getting legal documents he mentioned to the lawyer that they might want to recheck their address :P. - Jaclyn aka spamgirl

Ms. Edna Stephens of Mississippi is the most frequent offender of putting in my e-mail address instead of hers (I think she's [email protected], and she seems to frequently forget that second s). I know a LOT about her now. - Stephen Mack

For the past couple of days, I've been getting invoices and such for the re-election campaign of Robin Hastings of Moreno Valley, CA. I had too much fun in college to run for anything, and so I emailed them this morning and let them know that... - WebGoddess
