Walked into a shop in Detroit last week and nearly lost my mind over their tool setup

I was picking up some material from a little job shop off I-94 and decided to poke around their CNC area. Every single machine had these random piles of wrenches and collets just sitting on the control panels like it was a garage sale. One guy had his calipers balanced on the edge of the coolant trough and I swear I got nervous just looking at it. I get being in a hurry but it took me 10 minutes to find a 3/8 endmill because it was mixed in with some rusty parallels. The foreman just shrugged and said it's how they've always done it. Has anyone else walked into a place that made you twitch just from looking at the clutter?

Tape on the floor? Heck, I'd need an archaeologist to find anything in that mess.

Tape on the floor marking where everything goes saved our shop from that same mess.
