It can also be that instead of people giving your Gmail address as their own, the receiver ignores the domain and just assumes that it's @gmail.com. I've had that happen a couple times.

People also get very confused about + in addresses.

Yes, i have people sending me emails at [email protected], instead of [email protected]. How I know? They type both addresses just to be sure.
