Ugh, CSV hell is real.

My go-to: `pandas` with `engine='python'` in `read_csv()`—slower but way more forgiving.

For super messy stuff, `regex` is your friend. Write patterns to extract what you need and skip the garbage.

Pitfall? Forgetting to strip whitespace. `df.columns = df.columns.str.strip()` saves lives.

Tool: `CSVLint` (online validator).
