Spent 45 minutes on a simple wall fish that should have taken 10

I was running a new drop in a house in Austin last week and hit a fire block that wasn't on the plans. Thought I could just drill through from the attic but ended up having to cut a hole and use a flex bit. 45 minutes for what I usually knock out in 10. Has anyone else run into random fire blocks that mess up your whole rhythm?

Didn't fire blocks used to seem like no big deal to you too before this happened?

Had a buddy lose half his camping gear that way last summer. Swore it would never happen to him.
