		Brajeshwar on April 22, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: People who use different emails everywhere... LOL. So, my name is a pretty standard Indian name and many a lot do not confirm their email addresses (Banks, Insurances, etc). India's default email provider is, of course, GMAIL (even government officials use it). I was one of the early distributor of Gmail invites (I invited a lot) and I own brajeshwar@gmail.com Now, I get Bank Statements, Credit Card, Health, Insurance and whatnot for over 5+ "Brajeshwar"s in India. I just ignore them as I use my GMAIL ID just for newsletter subscriptions and ramnants of the old Internet but I do check once a week during my weekly digital chores.

OT, but I’m going to start using “digital chores”. When my partner asks what I’m doing and I answer “paperwork” it doesn’t sound quite right.
