One thing I've noticed in my years of programming and helping others with their 
code is that one can use a feature for decades, over and over, but are only 
using it in a certain specific way. One is lulled into thinking that it works in 
the general case because one is not aware that one's usage is constrained.

Someone else comes along, uses it slightly differently, and oops.

"But I always took the left fork!" :-)

It bites me all the time.
