strangers’ horses
I have a gmail account that I use mainly for business. It is my first name and last initial. This is a very common combination. And there are many ways to spell Jenny, so I assume people say, “I am JennieB@gmail.com!” and people email me instead. Understandable. But I get a LOT of incorrect personal email. Like, children’s school emails, doctor’s appointments, sorority pledging info, bank statements, Christianity forwards, and friend crisis emails. You’d think, at this point, these people’s lives would be in a shambles without all the important e-mail they are missing. Usually I try to email the person back and tell them they have the wrong person, but this email I am posting. Because it confused me:
Hey there! I heard about your horse incident. Was it the same crazy horse from a few years that we watched
wigging out in the corral? Glad you are somewhat ok!!Tell Lisa I am sorry for the problems with our bldg. I promise not to bother her anymore…:)Happy Weekend to you…cath
Horse attack!

That’s fantastic. Matt Beth (from GSLIS) frequently gets emails from parents who think their daughters’ emails are beth@uiuc. Those were always funny.
I’m glad you weren’t attacked by a horse!
