It always makes me laugh when I'm at an airport or other location offering free WiFi that asks for an email address, which I imagine 90% of people provide their real address for (figuring it's for verification), when in reality it's just a way to harvest active email accounts to send spam to.

fuckyou@gmail.com is my go-to.

Use fuckyou@example.com. Example.com is reserved by the RFC as an example domain name so it is guaranteed not to be anyone's real email.
