Earlier this summer. I was cleaning my whole contact list out, removing duplicates, using it to remember folks I would like to catch up with. I’ve managed to keep my contacts list migrating from my first Nokia brick phone I shared with siblings about 20 years ago, so it was full of a lot of crap.
“Ginger, really good at math” is one contact I deleted. Was it Ginger the name or ginger the hair color? Was it a classmate or someone who was killer at splitting up a restaurant party bill? Idk, I have no recollection so out they go. So does “Stay Away from Steve” and “Another Mike, red ball cap” and “Good dancer Jess”. “Shouty Shorty” remains because she’s still my friend who is short and very loud.

Yup, this is a very lemmy answer. Me too. My replacent KaOS flip phone couldn’t fit everything, so I just deleted a bunch of old contacts.
Other than that, things stck around because I might want to call someone or–just as importantly–avoid answering the phone if they call.
