I have firstname@lastname.countrycode and occasionally I get people that it breaks their brain that it’s not @gmail or something and they insist its wrong or won’t work.
Funny but also mildy annoying at times.
It’s even worse when some idiot dev decides what an email should look like and doesn’t properly implement RFC822 (or whichever one specifies all the random bits of a valid email address).
The current recommendation is to check for an
@symbol. It’s pretty much the only concrete rule.If an email address has to exist, the only way is to send it an email and have the user click a link.

I was too late for that, unfortunately and got <lastname>.<town> which also some people don’t comprehend.
Although it’s the capitol and there are sites from public services which use that TLD as well.
What genuinely pisses me off: Prior to that I got <lastname>.name, and there are sites, which refuse to accept it as a valid TLD when I try to register with them.
Edit: I got <lastname[with umlauts]>.<countrycode>, tho as this was available, but those don’t work that well. Or didn’t, when I last checked.
