As a general rule I comment code that I don't find self-explanatory, and that I can work up a meaningful comment for.
The first condition is of course a problem that one has to deal with if the person writing code finds things self-explanatory that to you are highly complicated.
The second condition is of course a problem for those people who are not able to explain things well in human language.
