Rant: Brand new spool of coax locked up on me this morning

I was out on a job in North Austin running a line for a new build and my brand new spool of RG6 just totally locked up on the reel. Tried to pull off about 50 feet and it started kinking so bad I had to cut it and waste like 15 feet of cable. Ended up having to go back to the truck and grab an older spool I had sitting there to finish the run. Has anyone else had this happen with the new spools from the supply house lately or is it just my bad luck?

Man that's rough... I've had the same thing with a couple spools from the big box store lately.
