For I am many?

Over the past year there has been on off occurrence regarding my @gmail.com account and I do not mean the recent hacking of it. Now my address is fairly generic but that should not matter as I know the address is mine. Yet, six times now I have received email bound for someone else who has given out my address.

All of which appear to be legitimate emails, no spam messages or anything of the sort. One person was ordering Christmas gifts, another trying to sign up for housing at a college and another had given it to a patrol officer. Just one person doing this would have been odd but nothing bizarre, but so far six and counting?

This is a short and sweet post but I still wonder, has this happened to anyone else?
