Happened to me too, I had a party invitation open in a work environment because Pages was the first app that bit me. Rotating through five NDA'd projects, I'm happy that it was as harmless as that. Another privacy trap is how Lion's Dock menus show recent files. Given a setup where a Mac is connected to a projector (presentation, video night), this makes it fatally dangerous to quit applications. You easily end up broadcasting Secret-Client-Sales-Pitch.ppt or sensitive video filenames. Also annoying when sharing computers, where before I used to trust my friends not to dig into Recent Files menus (not something you'd do by accident). Two of my personal anecdotes: Winamp cleverly remembers its last playlist. I once wanted to use a close relative's open Windows laptop to play a clearly visible music file at a family gathering. I accidentally presented his most recently watched 'rather sensitive video' to everyone. Another time, I downloaded a sex ed quiz from the App Store's Top 50. It claimed a very low rate of infection from an HIV positive mom to her baby. For the benefit of science, we verified that fact using Google. Imagine the thoughts of a CouchSurfer when she saw the "recent" search query weeks later, borrowing my iPad to look up train schedules. Glad she asked me about it. These are all things that should not even go wrong once, so "getting used to it" does not help.
