At my first job I inherited a project from a snr dev who decided to implement his own date logic instead of using the ones provided in .net
Anyway come feb 29th 2008 I get a call about some users were having issues. After not to long I figured out it was caused because of the leap year and his logic did not account for leap years. So I called them back and told them it would fix its self by tomorrow. I never actually bothered to fix the bug because a) I thought it was unlikely that the pos system would still be used in 4 years and b) the code was so bad in all areas that trying to fix anything had a good chance of breaking something else.
Lets just say that job was very character building
