I've found this is an amazingly high conflict subject in life. I once had to manage someone that was one of those people that did things like these mappers. It drove me insane. I constantly had to tell them to redo their work. They loved trying to insert Simpsons(TV SHOW) references into everything. I had a serious talk with them about the fact that you cannot do things that are "fun" if it conflicts with the work accuracy/reliability/readability/maintainability. They never listened and I had to manage them out. One of only two employees I had to get rid of in my career, so far.
I really don't understand these types and why they think its "harmless" to do this type of stuff. I don't want to create potentially more work for myself and I definitely don't want people that work for me to do so.
I've also worked with people that did this many times. It seems to be something like 5-10% of the working population that has this weird near neurotic compulsion to do this sort of "funny-sabotage" at work and cannot seem to resist even at the cost of their job.
