The problem:
Let's say you decide to use a boring meeting to clean up your contact list in your smartphone. You usually sync your phone with your PC Outlook contact list using an external program, with the conflict resolution rule "The last being changed wins". No confirmation pop-up windows (too time-consuming), no data backup (these are for sissies).

What I did:
1. Clean up the contacts in my phone contact list
2. Wipe the contact list in Outlook, since it got cluttered with automatically added contacts, and some contacts appeared twice or thrice due to bad synchronisation, etc...
3. Sync Phone and PC to get the cleaned up list in both PC and phone.

Result:
*big facepalm*
