Church basement install in Tulsa turned into a comedy of errors

Last month I got a call to put in a basic panel at a small church in Tulsa. The pastor said the old system was fine but they wanted a keypad in a better spot. I show up and the basement where the panel lives is packed shoulder to shoulder with youth group props. There was a giant cardboard ark taking up half the room and a flock of fake sheep under the wiring table. I tripped over a foam donkey twice before I even opened my screwdriver. The panel was in the worst corner, behind a stack of old hymnals, and I had to squeeze in like a contortionist to get to the terminals. At one point I knocked over a bucket of glitter glue and it went everywhere, including in my hair. I finished the job but now I always ask what's in the room before I commit to a location. Has anyone else had a weird obstacle at a job site that nearly ruined your day?
