Oooh, web sites that auto log you out while you're writing a long post or were
in the middle of a multi-step process and wandered away to make dinner or
something. And then when you log back in again it's all lost. Hate!
And then there's Dot Project. Their task timers are in Javascript running
entirely on the client. If the browser crashes, your time is lost. If you
close the page, your time is lost. And it has an auto log out! Spend a few
hours on a task, submit your time and *POOF* you're logged out. I'm sorry,
were you doing something?
