> Have you any examples of poor or even terrible code that has really left you scrambling for a resolution to a weird error?

I've dealt with code that used negative variable names. While technically there is no problem with that, it makes the code really hard to understand, especially for newbies

IF NOT llNotAllowed
    * do something
ELSE
    * do something else
ENDIF
