While I'm on Gmail annoyances...I've been waiting years for an option to NOT add everyone I communicate with to my contacts. I know I am not alone on this one...
Yes, I get it Gmail--if you keep everyone you can do cool things like auto-populate the chat list. And yes, I gave up using folders in a similar way. But here's the problem. You use all these people to auto-complete addresses when I am composing email.
As time goes on, the random emails addresses with which I have communicated dwarf in number the ones I regularly communicate with. But yet, you don't give the latter ones preference. And this defeats the purpose of the auto-complete feature IMHO, and is additionally quite annoying. So I find myself ever so often going through and cleaning out my contacts list. I want that time back!
Another problem with auto-add to contacts. I get really hesitant using those "import your contacts from Gmail" features on other sites. I don't want to risk spamming a billion people. All in all...
Lame! (cut from South Park's AWESOM-O)
