Hey I keep thinking I need to submit a wtf...
A former developer did not "like" to modify the database schema. So he would look for an unused field whenever he needed a new column to a table in the db. That didn't always work, so he started *overloading* existing columns. We started finding "rules" like this: "If the middle name field contains a colon character then the text before the colon is the middle name and the text after it is the user's license number." I still can't get over this. I want to slap my forehead every time I think about it. Code like that made it into production somehow... yikes.
