An inspector in Omaha told me my panel labeling was 'creative fiction'

He pointed out I was using terms like 'kitchen lights' instead of the actual circuit numbers and load descriptions. I thought it was just a quick note for the next guy, but he said it could cause a real safety issue during an emergency. Now I spend the extra ten minutes per panel writing out exactly what's on the prints. Anyone else get called out for something that seemed minor but actually mattered?

Got reamed once for labeling a breaker "Mystery Load #3" because I couldn't figure out what it fed. Turns out mystery loads are less funny when the fire department is trying to kill power.

Creative fiction? That’s a new one.
