That's the best answer I have seen yet. sometimes writing code is not about making it work, but how to handle things when they don't work.......

I think this is not real. Understandable you cut the actual do something code but where is your semi-colon after the 'throw e'
I assume you typed this code, maybe you missed an important bit of catch code

Yoy. At least they used camel casing 
static void AddEquipment(object dontUseThisWeHaveToDeleteThisMethod)
The parameter isn't used in the method...I think that the guy must've added the param to the method to make other code break (maybe using the compiler to find where it was called from) and then basically abandoned the code. Didn't comment anything or comment the code out or anything.
I think I'm going to start using gems like this for NEW methods. Just sprinkle a couple of these across new APIs and let people wonder...

I like that!
A former collegue of mine had a tendency to use very long and elaborate variable/function/method/property names. One day i invented an unused property called __AVeryLongAndLargelyUnusedProperty_PKA. PKA being his initials. Need i say that i forgot all about it. The thing went into production, until years later PKA one day yelled at me: What the shikes is this?

Hmmm, let's improve it!
static void AddEquipment(object dontUseThisWeHaveToDeleteThisMethod)
{
if (dontUseThisWeHaveToDeleteThisMethod is bool && (bool)dontUseThisWeHaveToDeleteThisMethod) return;
}
Seems better?

Hockey is the greatest sport in the world.
It's Movember, Mustache competitions are important, as they are to raise awareness for prostate cancer.
And a career like taxes in Canada sounds AWESOME! Where do I apply?!

Boxing is the greatest sport. It gets past all that silly foreplay and you get to see what you came there to see... the fight!

The most ruthless game I've ever played is Croquet. It looks genteel, but you constantly have to F@*k your opponents as much as possible over to win.
Don't confuse Cricket with Croquet[^]

I did play croquet in my backyard when I was younger. Maybe that's why I always make miniature golf a full-contact (as far as our balls are concerned) sport.

Leave my balls alone, would you...

Despite YEARS of development, we would still get a if pressed CTRL + Backspace in Visual Studio anywhere outside the code editor. What's interesting: it happens even in new WPF-y diagramming tools. It seems that Microsoft decided to cultivate the tradition bug.
I ask: How many years do we have to wait yet?

I guess Microsoft hasn't realized that there are power users out there who actually use shortcuts...

I guess Microsoft keep that bug as a signature of tradition

I hope he keeps delighting us with his coding horrors as he gets more into programming.

That is indeed a horror; especially from someone who should know better  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

He's an accountant. Give him a few years as a programmer and I'm sure he'll know better.

Although I am not primarily a driver developer, I have written a few. The 1st rule is don't put any MessageBoxes in the driver not even while debugging.

Recently a developer in the team decided to prefix all classes in a namespace with a four alphabet acronym (let's call it DSRS, it's pretty close to what it is). I cannot elaborate how many brain cells have gone dead in me in comprehending the code and telling him to remove that prefix or use something more useful. His answer: people will get used to it and so will new devs... Speechless....

A very similar thing was done to the main database at my last job. Only took me 1-2 years to "get used to" it. 
Though, to be honest, it was actually somewhat useful in the way they did the naming. When they casually used the prefixes in conversation and expected you to know what it meant was when it got confusing.
