Spent 5 hours tracking down a neutral issue in a 3-way switch setup

Had a customer in Austin whose lights kept flickering randomly, turned out the neutral was shared between two different circuits but the splice was buried behind drywall nobody wanted to open. Anyone else run into hidden neutral problems that took way longer than they should have?

Those floating neutrals will make you pull your hair out, always check your splices first.
