Object-Orientation Abusers

All these smells are incomplete or incorrect application of object-oriented programming principles.

You have a complex switch operator or sequence of if statements.

Temporary fields get their values (and thus are needed by objects) only under certain circumstances. Outside of these circumstances, they are empty.

Two classes perform identical functions but have different method names.
