What do you both HATE and LOVE? For me, it's automatic contacts in Outlook e-mail.→[More:]I write an e-mail, and the e-mail will fill in with one or two letters of the person's name. Saves time! Yay! Except that I've sent two e-mails this week to the WRONG PEOPLE. Boo! HIss!

I once got an email entitled "Tight Pussy" from some guy I didn't know because of automatic contacts in Outlook, TPS. Fun for everyone!

Since that day, I am ultra-paranoid and always triple-check who the message will actually go to before I click send.

I replied to the guy: "Um, I don't think you meant to send this to me." And promptly showed all my coworkers.

Was the email from "Cuniformeous P. Dewlaps" by any chance?

Please please PLEASE share with us what that e-mail contained. If you can.

It kind of ruins the story, but it was a picture of a kitten in a coffee mug. Heh.

Is there anyway to edit out the names you don't want in the drop-down (or elsewhere) to get rid of the obsolete ones?

I both HATE and LOVE the Limited Edition Cherry Cordial Hershey's Kisses, because they are nearly impossible to stop eating.

That bloody list in Outlook is the bain of my life. A few weeks after we introduced that version of Outlook I realised what an attrocious piece of crap it was and switched it off on every machine. Then the complaints, good god the complaints. So I switched it back on and everyone is happily sending e-mails to the wrong people and getting bounces when they shouldn't.

Stupid Outlook.

Yeah you just hit delete when the one you don't want is highlighted. I know this because I types "s" instead of "d" one day then sat there deleting every single "s" contact before I realised what was happening.

I types "s" instead of "d": looks like I do that a lot
