What is your worst program?

Looking now at my first experiments with QB (that I've written years ago), I see many errors, bad practices and spaghetti code. I'm sure that I'm not the only one: many of us have realized horrible, bad coded programs that actually work well, and only later we've understood how to code properly.
So, my question is: what is the worst program you've ever written? (I mean, working program, not stub). What would you change, if you should rewrite it now?

I tried to reply to the OP and each time I told me I needed to log in again. It was immediate. Usually this site automatically logs me out after 10 minutes or so, but this was < 1 minute.

That's what I do: I write a message, select all, copy it, and try to send: if I need to log in again, I do, then I paste the selected text and send it.

Well I always stay logged in. Every once in a while I have to log in though.
Thanks for the feedback!

I HAVE MADE MANY MISTAKES LIKE ANYBODY ELSE BUT MY WORST PROGRAM
WAS MADE BY THE FREEBASIC FOR THE WINDOWS.
THE FIRST TIME THAT I DID TRY TO RUN AND COMPILE A QBASIC PROGRAM
OF MINE IN THE FREEBASIC FOR WINDOWS THE RESULTS WERE LIKE THE HIROSHIMA
BOMB BECAUSE THE FB FOR WINDOWS TREATS THE DOS LIKE SHIT.
MY PROGRAMS NEVER ARE BIG BUT I HAVE TO USE THE FB FOR DOS INSTEAD
OF THE FB FOR WINDOWS. FB FOR WINDOWS TREATS THE QBASIC FOR DOS
LIKE MICROSOFT TREATS THE DOS FOR 16 BITS, LIKE GARBAGE,
THAT IT MEANS, TRYING TO DISSAPEAR IT.

OPRESION, you should try qb64. All of my old QB games run in WinXP except for one that uses CHAIN command because that is not supported. It's great to be able to write programs in BASIC again that run on modern computers.

WADDAYA MEAN? The CHAIN command and COMMON are supported in QB64!
The only present problem is that it does not work across directory paths. Hopefully that will be fixed soon.

First hour i used Qbasic i put imput always instead of input and it really frustrated me because none of my programs would work.
