My gmail address is simply my lastname @ gmail.com
So I get a lot of emails meant for other people whose email is [email protected] where some sender drops the firstname and the dot for some reason.
I received airline reservations (where I can click and change seat assignments!), cancer diagnoses(!), wedding invitations, bank statements, real estate documents to verisign, all sorts of things.
I've been tempted to do things like switch the person's seat to a middle in the back by the bathroom, but while I've clicked through to see if I _could_ do it, I never actually completed it. I did once send my regrets to a wedding invitation.
