Photographers, What Are Your Horror Stories?

No, I'm not asking for stories about flakey or crazy models or their asshole boyfriends. I mean stories about problems with locations, equipment, and other technical aspects of shooting. Here's my initial contribution:

I checked into a nice hotel to do a double shoot yesterday, and to my horror, I discovered that almost the entire wall behind the bed was mirror. Now, I'm doing pro-am work, which is quite a bit less formal than Playboy or even Hustler style, but even so, I do try to keep me and my equipment out of the photos. I largely succeeded, but it was very trying. I'm not sure if the guy in front of his computer cares if there's the reflection of an umbrella reflector in the photo as long as the girl is hot and the pose is stimulating, but even so, it was a bear of a shoot.

What are your stories?
