read the responses to that question and one stood out
mothering reverse indentation?

who the hell came up with that

(What was the strangest coding standard rule that you were forced to follow? - Stack Overflow)

reverse indentation. For example:

    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
myFunc();
        }

and:

   if(something)

        {
// do A
        }
    else
        {
// do B
    }
