I once wrote some PHP code that looked like this:

//  I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it
return array_flip(array_intersect(array_flip($allTests), $chosenTestKeys));

A few months later, I came back to this code, and noticed my comment had been changed.

// I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it

I looked at git blame to see who had mangled my comment. His git commit message was "Fix intermittent failing test", as if my comment somehow had something to do with an intermittently failing test.

This was eight years ago. I never got a chance to change my comment back. To this day, I can't hear a song by Missy Elliott and not be annoyed at the other dev who messed up my comment.
