It can happen if you both log in from the same place, like a school library or a restaurant that provides free Wi-Fi. However, the most common way comes about because of the way the Internet works.

Every device that logs in to the Internet is assigned a number called an Internet Protocol Address for that session. Every Internet service provider is given a specific block of these numbers, and one is assigned to each computer as customers of the ISP log in. When that computer logs out of the Internet, its IP address number is available for another device to use while it is logged in. Especially for huge Internet Providers, think AOL for one, it's easy to become associated with another stable, even if its owner lives far away from you and you've never met.

My daughter and I live in the same household and both use her email account for our game memberships, although we have separate stables. This is in accordance with the game rules. Our accounts are, therefore, associated accounts. However, when I check my account, there are two other associated stables that I have no idea about who the owners are.

How do you find out who your associated account are? Is there anyway to fix that? I understand if its someone you know but becoming associated with someone you don't know and never met ...It just seems strange.

Ohh, the flagged sales is cool! When did that get added?

Now that so many of us use tablets and phones at least a little bit, I'm surprised more of us aren't associated.
