It amazes me how many people want it done fast, and for no expense.. so they end up getting really shitty, inefficient code, and then balk when I quote what it will cost for both time and reimplementation.
My favorite recent sighting is an event handler - which isn't. It's a crontab that runs every minute, for a minute, SELECT *, and deciding whether or not to take action by comparing the timestamp.. with about 4 subselect queries. Dear God, talk about O(n) inefficiency.
