what's in a name?

Working in retail I see a lot of people from many different cultures, financial classes, ages and loonie bins. I was recently dealing with a customer who appeared to be fairly well kept. I couldn't smell cigarettes or an overdose of cologne.... hair was brushed nicely and shoes looked decent. Yeah, I do notice a lot of different details about random people but hey, I am a very visual person. Anyway, I had to get this customers information for the sale I was completing and noticed there email address. I'm not one to comment on anyone else's choice of "tag" but I do wonder if there email address has any type of coincidence to there personality.

example 1:         imspud@xxxxxx                 

                                                              
- ummmm - a spud is a potato.... really, would you want someone to remember you as a potato? Unless you grew up on a potato farm, I'm not sure it's the best address to go by. Especially if you have a highly respectable job.  

example 2:         ****69@xxxxx 

- anything with 69 in it just turns you into a sex junkie, or one who wishes they could be one. I have seen this with several email addresses, usually high school boys. On the odd occasion, I am left to wonder why the 60+ man with the wrinkled dress pants is sporting this for himself. 

I quickly stop thinking about it.  

example 3:          shadee_ladee@xxxxxxx

- Can you imagine dealing with a nice lady wearing a sweater with a picture of herself on it, who speaks only of her 12 cats and handsome next door neighbor who helps cut her grass in his ripped jogging pants..... and now we move on.

These are only a few examples but I've just started wondering, why do these people do this? Are you one of these people? Come on, admit it - you are! Does your email address give others insight to the "other" personality we don't get to see? 

Meh - Pot(ay)to, Pot(at)to!

email accounts used are based on fictional accounts (to the best of my knowledge)

no feelings meant to be hurt :)
