I have a catchall for my domain set up, and whenever I give a contact email to any organization, I offer theirdomain.com@mydomain.com. The amount of regular pushback I get from that (or people thinking I work at theirdomain.com, or that I am some kind of idiot) is insane.
I’ve started using my first name followed by a few letters related to the domain, so jimhn@example.com instead of hackernews@example.com, for exactly this reason. It’s easier to explain to a customer support rep if it’s a more “normal” email.
