I am pretty sure most of us would have that one incredibly embarrassing email Id created during college or school days. My share of embarrassing ids are never-ending. In an attempt to sound all cool, hip and intriguing, I created email ids with names that would make one crawl under the blanket and never come out.
The first one ain’t that bad I guess – sinister_rajl … yeah that was my way to tell the world that I am boisterous… kickass evil 😛 Sigh!! I was so lame!!
I still use the second one but only for blogging purpose. And if you receive an email from that id I am pretty sure it would be directed into your junk folder. Why? Because it has Triple X in it.
Imagine this scenario. I was filling application for Visa and the agent asked me my email id on phone. I calmly replied,” l … u … x… x…x...”
After a long pause, he hesitantly said,”Excuse me ma’m“
It was only then did it strike me what a ridicule I had made of myself. “Yeah yeah that’s right… yes it is triple x“
The next thing I did after hanging up my phone (and my head in shame) was to create a proper email id.
In my defense, I was in college and had no idea what triple X meant or any X meant … and I couldn’t find a combination with single X or double X (all ids were taken). Now I know why the triple X remained.
Along with Claire, Parul and Shalini we have formed an Unconventional Alliance with A to Z co-host Pam Margolis as the ring leader … all set to rock the party.

This is one funny post. I remember making an id on Hotmail and it was my full name and thought it was too long but I have a longer one now 😀😀
So you’re Madam triple X! That was hilarious. I was past college by the time I made my first email id so it was a pretty decent one. Thank goodness.
Ha ha ha, I kind of recall reading this one. Still made me laugh 😀
Waah! What a creative mind, Raj! “sinister_raji”!!! Hilarious!
Fortunately for me there was no email when i was in school. BUT when the internet became a thing I went the opposite way and chose a very very boring email id. i use it to pay my bils. cuz…BORING.
That one was damn good.

That is a funny story as you look back on it! Guess we live and learn. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! My X word is X-ray Tetra. http://gaylwright.blogspot.com/2016/04/x-is-for-x-ray-tetra.html
True! I made a very weird error in my first email id. We usually add our own birthdate to an id if we need some more characters to make it unique. I don't know what I was thinking of when I was making the account, but I added my dad's birthday to it! 😀
That was too funny Raj! One of my id's has triple zeros! I am imagining the guy's reaction when you gave him your triple X ID 😉
