Bad Programming Practices

Very basic Anti Pattern, not even Sources Of Bugs, although they are both.

Go Tos

Obfuscated Code

Single Letter Named Variables

Fool Trap

This approach is rather naive. Simply making a good/bad list will never really define bad programming practices; have you never seen terrible code that rigidly follows a coding convention?

While Obfuscated Code is never a good thing, both Go Tos and single letter variables have their place. The trick is to know when something is appropriate.
