Someone decided to start a weed business in Spokane Washington using my gmail address as their business email contact for all of the greenery suppliers. Now I get tons and tons of marijuana-related spam. I guess they are too stoned to tell the difference between 20 and twenty? I don't know.

A lawyer in Texas has the same initials as I. Their domain is the same as mine + "law" at the end. Guess how many of her clients forget the "law"?

That would stress me out! I'm a completely legitimate medical cannabis patient in the UK and I still get nervous about reading emails from the clinic when I'm at work.
