I once searched my hard drive for hours looking for a tool I believed I once wrote. Then I gave up, and just started writing it again. Once I saw the code, I realized what name it might have, then searched, and found the original tool.

When I compared my duplicate tool to the original, it was eerie how similar it was. Right down to using 90% the same variable names. Really made me think about my consistency as a person over time.
