The worst sites are the ones that let you sign up with an unusual address but not log in. The worst I‘ve seen was some ticket system that rejected dfyx+theirdomain@mydomain after I clicked the link in their confirmation email.

    There's an aspect of my surname which is somewhat unusual (at least in my country). As a result I occasionally get form validation errors when entering it. Sometimes those errors are extremely inscrutable. Sometimes a form validates but something elsewhere makes unvalidated assumptions about names which then breaks in completely unpredictable names...

    Actually no. In fact, I think most people who thought for a minute would realise names like mine exist, it's just that sometimes people working systems don't think for a minute ;)
