What Your Email Extension Says About You

by Sarah Schneider on February 21, 2007

gmail.com	You are internet saavy, and approximately 50% of your inbox consists of Apple updates.� BTW, can someone invite me already?� This is getting ridiculous, seriously you guys.
hotmail.com	You signed up for your first email account in middle school and haven’t bothered changing your address since.� The precursor to your extension includes either a really old hobby, a ‘cool’ spelling of a popular word or both (I’m looking at you, pog_gurl22).
aol.com	AOL sent you 12,000 free CDs in 6th grade and you signed up out of guilt.� In related news, you’re still using free 120 hour accounts on dialup.� You also need to sign off soon, your mom really needs to use the phone. It’s IMPORTANT.
yahoo.com	You were really really up to date ten years ago.� Then you went and had a bunch of stupid babies.� You still think you’re up to date, but your high-waisted, tapered jeans tell another story.� And that story is really uncomfortable looking.
bangbus.com	You watch so much porn that your favorite site created a custom email account for you.� Not surprisingly, the majority of emails in your inbox are from your bff xxxCIALISxxx.
prodigy.net	You have not paid attention since the early 1990s.
mac.com	You have thick-framed glasses, and a blog where you talk about your thick-framed glasses.
netscape.net	One of your grandchildren had to explain how email works to you.� You’re not entirely sure what a computer is, but you know that it helps you ‘stay hip.‘� Also, your dentures just fell out.� You should probably stick those back in.
