I've got one who keeps forgetting he's got numbers on the end of his email address. He's a sheriff in a southern state. Also an idiot.

What's doubly annoying is the US gov is pretty lax at things like unsubscribe links, so I keep getting notifications about his Medicare account that I can't unsubscribe from.

They exempted themselves from the spam rules.

That's forwarding rules are for. Preferably to the email of some judge in his precinct.

My wife has one of those, a rather stupid American who keeps using her gmail for things (and regularly tries to reset her password).

My friend gets one every month from a really ugly guy. Super illiterate, brings bendy-straws-to-bathrooms type, probably has grandkids.

(That's what we're doing here right? Bashing on the old and the tech-illiterate?)

The way your post is structured reads as if you have a stupid American wife (I can hear Vasily Borodin say this).
