在编写MAPPER应用程序时，我们有一些标准，其中之一就是在整个套件中使用的标准变量列表。其中一个“V43”总是用来表示姓氏。所以，想象一下，当我被要求修复一大块MAPPER代码中唯一的注释是:

Here V43 contains the Surname

更新:代码的原作者已经暴露了自己，所以我必须在适当的地方给予赞扬。Dan McKinley在我入职后不久就离开了我所在的公司，他讲述了更多关于代码的内容，解释了一些背景知识和“Richard”所写的一些“WTF”。

我刚刚完成了一个日志框架(使用Trace，为什么没有这样的存在我不知道)。我做了一个继承自TraceListener的方便基类。它覆盖了所有的TraceListener方法，并将它们路由到一个方法中——因此有很多文档注释:

// TODO: Need some codemonkey to doc comment this class.

我的一个老老板总是说我们必须在内部使用我们自己的产品。“吃我们自己的狗粮……”

许多年后，我发现嵌入在一个临时同事所做的源代码中，他触及的每个函数都被标记为:

/* NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION */
