Dear Abbi Scott,

You have entered my gmail address as your own on the "New Georgia Public Library" system, so I'm getting all your emails about your books that are due back in.*

While some of your books sound interesting, they're not quite my reading level. ("The little engine that could, by Piper, Watty" sounds like it'd probably be up my street, if I were still four years old. "Clarabella's teeth" sounds a little too vampiriffic for my tastes though)

So I'd appreciate my email being removed from your record. I'm sure you'd appreciate being reminded your books are overdue, too, before you get fined. Unfortunately, all I can do is email your librarian and request they take my email off your record, as I have no idea who you are.

Best regards,

Another Abi Scott, in a completely different country, with none of your books.

(*OK, slight hyperbole, but over the course of a couple of years, I've had more than one of these emails. Some poor librarian is probably getting yelled at because "You didn't send me a reminder, how dare you f'ing fine me!")

My mum has nearly the same gmail address as a guest house in Tanzania. Something similar occasionally happens to her.

Seriously?

XKCD did a comic on this recently - http://xkcd.com/1279/
So guessing this -is- pretty common. If you wanna snoop, you could probably snoop a lot. :P

Dang in, Abi! Stop making people turn in their books late.

:)
