I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that once in a former life I was tasked with writing a program for a coworker who I absolutely hated as I was leaving. He was going to have to maintain the program, and he wasn't really a programmer (contrary to what he said on his resume).
In a fit of juvenile rage, I wrote it in Prolog, even though it really wasn't particularly well-suited to being expressed that way. Apparently rather than tell anyone that he didn't understand how it worked (in spite of my fairly good documentation), he just pretended to be updating it for a couple years after I left.
Eventually the ruse was discovered, and they got rid of him.
I've been carrying that load around for the past twelve years, it feels nice to share it.
