Spot on. Most of the time I can barely stand reading my own code, so how about I take a break and read some barely intelligible code written by someone else, using a different coding style and a different mindset? Wreck my brain trying to figure out what on Earth the other person was thinking when they wrote that abomination. You know, just for the kicks.
