I get hundreds of emails a week for 2 people that share the same name as me, one in Ohio and one in Ontario. While one is much worse than the other, it is out of control for both of them. Not spam mail, but real stuff - that you typically would want to see if it is sent to you. Today alone, I got an appointment reminder for a dermatology appointment, a plastic surgery appointment, the school bus schedule, a payment reminder for electricity, and the worst one, burial information for some dude named Ralph for his funeral on the 15th.

I have both their addresses since I also get the ‘Shop’ app delivery notifications for one and UPS for the other. I have sent both snail mail and also have sent emails to what should be the correct email addresses from people that were kind enough to provide them. Neither responded. While this might sound like a minor annoyance, it really isn’t. I am constantly having to verify these things aren’t intended for me, especially the collections/demands for payments or the medical stuff since one of them shares the same group medical provider as me in Michigan. The kicker? Half the stuff I try to sign up for legitimately, it tells me I can’t because my email is already in use and it wants to send a verification code to their phone number…

So…today I had enough and I canceled a dermatology appointment for her kid (I assume) and a botox appointment off the appointment reminders. AITA? Obviously, they don’t really care, but maybe they will if I start wasting their time too.
