I did some work in an ancient multifamily house with a live-in landlord who was an old eccentric electrical engineer. He had somehow convinced passed electricians to wire every single duplex receptacle and appliance on it's own dedicated circuit. The basement ceiling was covered in huge bundles of MC/AC/BX wrapped together with zip-ties. There must've been the better part of a hundred home runs with nothing properly labeled. And because all the cable assemblies couldn't be terminated into one panel, they brought them into big troughs to switch over to conduit and THHN, none of that labeled either.

I ended up walking off that job.
