1. Companies who use dark patterns to spam you even though they implied they wouldn't, and who continue to spam you even after you try and unsub from them. Even Google are bad at this... you can explicitly unsub from everything but dare to purchase another product and they'll yet again include some tiny checkbox somewhere that has resubbed you. These feel like Sisyphean subscriptions.
2. Individuals with similar names who cannot get their own email right and seem determined to never receive their travel documents, insurance policies and other things, and who leave you subscribed to obscure local mailing lists like the one for dog rescue in Florida which I am a BCC on and I can't get the list owner to effectively unsub me, or the school in North Carolina who keep telling about my namesakes child who needs to prep some piece of homework and they tell me this via a no-reply address.
There's not a lot of "leaked email address is used for spam" as one imagines... at least, it's almost zero.
