I start looking through the source and I see variable names: Ben, Pat, Robert, Tsui....
I almost screamed in horror when I realized he was programming using our names as variables!!!!
Talk about creepy. To say the least, we yelled at him for awhile and he no longer makes variable names named after us....

I had a friend who named a counter that went from 1-10, "midget". Needless to say the teacher got mad because it isnt a meaningful name and she thought it was inappropriate.
