Hi Pleasant Plains. Here is the audiogram. Hearing aids will really help with the tinnitus. Basically all the natural sounds that occur around the same frequency of your tinnitus will then be heard, and as such “masks” the tinnitus.

Those last two were sent to my non-nickname government name. Rest assured that Tyrone's hearing is fine.

oh man, you know how gmail ignores periods in your email address so mh@gmail and m.h.@gmail are the same address as far as they are concerned?

someone just signed up for okcupid using my email address, but since I use a dot and they did not, it let them

mh, Thursday, 10 July 2014 21:25 (nine years ago) link

I'm really trying to understand where the confusion is coming from.

1.) Do people just register for whatever name they want - john.smith@gmail - and then go on registering and submitting that all over the place afterward without bothering to see if they can actually use it or not?

2.) Or is Google confirming to them that the address is available, turning green and saying "Yes! You got one!" even though, as far as I can tell, they can't access that account?

It seems like people are falling for (1.), but how did people get so damn stupid all of a sudden? I have never seen so many misdirected emails. It can't be the common people's fault.

Right?

pplains, Thursday, 10 July 2014 21:35 (nine years ago) link

I think some of it is due to transcription errors when email addresses are written. Others when they're dictated to cashiers or whatever, or to friends. But otherwise, I think people really do not know their own email addresses and think they're right.

I went to sign up for a damn microsoft live acct recently (the stupid win8 apps insisted on it on my tablet). It told me I already had an account. Wuh? thinks I... I got it to reset pwd, send me the details... it was some other twit. Who now has no Microsoft Live account. sucker.

All of my misdirectors (I have about 5) appear to be Republicans, 80% are over 50, only one has a job that requires a college degree, so yes, I think they just don't know their own e-mail addresses.

Three Word Username, Friday, 11 July 2014 07:55 (nine years ago) link

so do I sign in as this guy on okc or what

mh, Friday, 11 July 2014 18:14 (nine years ago) link

I really think that people just 'make up' an address when they don't want to get on an email list or get email notifications from a site, but duh, everything requires a verification email now.

why are you even here asking, do it then start a thread, GOD

kinder, Friday, 11 July 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link

Did they send you his password? That's usually the bind.

I'm getting a dude's AT&T billing statements, and I called them because I have an AT&T account too and I didn't want them to get mixed up, and they said there's nothing they can do.

festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 11 July 2014 18:23 (nine years ago) link

If it's registered to my email, I can reset the password probably.

mh, Friday, 11 July 2014 22:30 (nine years ago) link

Sometimes yeah but usually nah. Depends if you can log in automatically from the email or if they make you enter the password manually.

festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 11 July 2014 23:11 (nine years ago) link

um, reset the password, not click through

mh, Saturday, 12 July 2014 00:13 (nine years ago) link

Like, typically a lot of sites let you send a password reset link to your email address, then click on it to set a new password. If they're wise, they as for some authenticating info, but even that is a mixed bag

okcupid, however, is so lax that you can log in by clicking a link from email, apparently. I was really confused when I just did so, assumed it'd send me to my account first, and got the message inbox of women saying "sorry, I'm only 20"

mh, Saturday, 12 July 2014 00:21 (nine years ago) link

This user restricts their profile to OkCupid members only. Sign in or create an account.

Make his profile public.

boney tassel (sic), Saturday, 12 July 2014 00:40 (nine years ago) link

I have made it so

mh, Saturday, 12 July 2014 00:49 (nine years ago) link

Doesn't okcupid usually default to sending you email for matches and stuff? I think this dude turned off all email notifications, so... he knows it's not his email address

information for your question, pplains

mh, Saturday, 12 July 2014 00:50 (nine years ago) link

aw that's mean.

I know, what asshole uses someone else's email on purpose?!?

Wrong thread, but I got an arrest warrant mailed to me. I live at 123 Broad Street, but the letter was supposed to go to 123 Broad Ave across town.

The envelope, which helpfully described its contents by saying PULASKI COUNTY SHERIFF ARREST WARRANT in big letters on the front, was addressed properly. Mailman just took it to the wrong place, despite a different zip code.

I almost wrote "wrong address" on it like I usually do, but wait - the address was right. So I wrote "deliver to this address" with an arrow pointing at the window and stuck it back into the mailbox.

So then, a few weeks later, the court summons appeared. I pictured this guy across town getting found in contempt, and being hauled out of his house (if they could find it) as part of some Southern Gothic Kafka nightmare. So instead of putting it back in the box and leaving it up to the USPS again, I walked it the three blocks from where I work to the county judge whose office had sent the letter. We all in his front office had a good laugh at the post office's expense.

I really hate though having an Ave version of my address in the same town. It's not even set up in a grid like they do in Yankee towns. I'm up here on the hill, and he's down by the old highway next to the train tracks. All those Christmas cards you all have sent me have probably gone up over his mantle.

pplains, Friday, 25 July 2014 12:20 (nine years ago) link

what if you decided to drive it across town yourself and in a bizarre twist ended up being the one who got arrested

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Friday, 25 July 2014 15:39 (nine years ago) link

For trespassing.

I really hate though having an Ave version of my address in the same town.

I got this in my 'hood but its long long roads, that go thru multiple sububrbs and the house numbs reset on the border, so you can have 123 Any st Preston, and 123 Any St South Preston, and theyre miles apart.

Email via a south african classifieds style website, asking if i was still selling the bike.

Given the dental xrays were from a south african dentist I think some stupid SA sod has been using my email address all over the shop.

We are looking to get some power in the ceiling with a quad receptacle.

Curious on if this is a standard price, or if it depends on where it is etc.

Thanks so much!

Drew

i was copied into this email reply. this is super curious to me because with my govt name/email address there is effectively 0% chance of accidentally emailing me, and there is no reason i can think of why this guy in KC, MO might have my email address. and i am also curious what the other guy wants to do with a quad receptacle in the ceiling, of all places.
