I'd be interested to know what percentage of 21 year olds know what yahoo is (they would have sold Tumblr right around them being 18 years old).

Back in the day it was trendy to affix the year you signed up for an account to your account name - rather than the birth year. It was interesting to see things like [email protected] still the primary email address when sending someone an email to catch up post uni.

God help me, I cannot stop myself from laughing every time I see a @yahoo or @aol e-mail address on job applications/resumes.

Bonus laughter if it's something massively inappropriate. Some e-mail stems from the last position search (this is at a college, granted it is an entry level position, but it's still a college): cuntcrasher, c00rslight, bigswag420, trideltaFcups, and my personal favorite, milfhunter9inch.

These are supposed to be professional people. This is real life. This is real. I can't wake up.

Hey, maybe that's short for Bret Igswag (born April 20).

I used to work with a guy whose first + middle initials and last name resulted in an official corporate email of "xlwang", no lie.

Only you can save Corbin Untcrasher and Tyrone Ridel-Tafcups from crushing student loan debt.

You assume 1999 is their birth year...could be a graduation year.

Or a random year. I like using random dates in usernames.

21 here: anecdotally, almost all of them. Having a @yahoo.com address is pretty uncool, though.
