Shit that annoys you

I’ve got an aol address. I’ve never found a compelling reason to go through the hassle of changing my email address.
Judge away.

We don't have to, all your friends and family are doing it for us.

We are, however, judging you for your "Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums."

[anotherVTskibum]

people who have a signature that says “Sent using TGR Forums mobile app” annoy me.

Is this better?

Fact.

How about the 40+ yo's that still use their alma mater email address
I notice it particularly with the Harvard people, go figs

Yep. @harvard.edu

Did I tell you about Harvard? Did you know I went to Harvard?
I didn’t.
But yeah. It’s worse than a vegan or telemarker.
Shit the fuck up.

As I think back to the 5 seconds it took to move to gmail back in the day (fwding and archive process, contacts) the word ‘hassle’ doesn’t come to mind but to be fair it was years ago.

If there was an email address for ski patrol or raft guides, you can be sure they'd use that one.

I have an ex that still uses her college address from .... 1992. It blows my mind.

Although she didn't make the effort to learn to drive until her early 40's, so at least she shows promise, but then again, she's addicted to twitter.

LOL, my wife went to Dartmouth. She won’t actually tell someone she went there unless they ask specifically. When she is asked “Where did you go to school?”
She often answers “A small school in New Hampshire”
Sometimes they then ask “UNH?”
And she replies, “no, the other one.”

@cyclist.org would get lots of traction.

People still use Gmail?

I too had an original gmail invite, and squandered it on something work related instead of my real name. Hindsight 20/20...

If you get email service for life from your school, why not?

[frorider]

FIFY.

Your real name is Hindsight 20/20?

Gamil is how I found cousins I didn't know existed--my sister in law emailed her daughter, screwed up the address, and the email went to the wife of a cousin of mine in DC. (Not sure what degree of cousin--he's the same age as me but a generation ahead, the grandson of my great granfather's brother--The original brothers immigrated from Ukraine in 1906 and wound up in different cities. A thrid brother was murdered by the Nazis. We corresponded a bit, we met when he was in California and haven't talked since. Other than DNA I didn't feel any connection.

I've had the same hotmail account since the late 90s. Never had an issue with it, and it's kinda convenient having my entire email history in one spot. I've got a gmail account, never really liked it so I seldom use it.

Sure it only takes a few seconds to set up forwarding, etc to a new email account. But then I think of all the bank/vendor accounts I use this email for secondary authentication and account recovery. Not interested in dealing with that.

How the heck are colleges allowing people to still use those emails addresses so long after graduation? That's the odd thing to me.

Some schools give email for life. Easy way for them to keep track of alums (for fundraising purposes)

Makes sense.

I still use my college email. It’s nothing prestigious or fancy, but it’s my name with an easy domain. I never found a particular reason to switch. I don’t really use my personal email for much except for things like maintaining accounts or the odd listserv for groups. Who actually sends personal email these days?

Living in a college town it was a pretty common email address, so it was easy to communicate and denoted some inclusion. Google is the back end….
