Everyone’s done it. We get lazy, we’re pressed for time, or we otherwise don’t care enough to standardize our stuff. I can note this most prevalently in code, but it easily extends into design and every day life.

I’m sick of Crummy User Experience (CUE). I’m sure there are many ways to describe it, and everyone can relate.
