My fuse box labeling system failed me at 2 AM last Tuesday

A storm knocked out power to half my house and I grabbed my flashlight to find the tripped breaker. I spent 20 minutes flipping switches because my labels said "kitchen" but actually controlled the bathroom. Turns out the previous owner just wrote what he guessed on the panel cover. I ended up turning every breaker off and on one by one to find the bad one. Has anyone else found their panel labeled completely wrong like that?

Found my "living room" breaker actually ran the garage fridge.

Guess the previous owner was playing pin the label on the breaker.
