Where's the electric panel?

Last week, I was searching for the electric service panel at a buyer's inspection. I had taken at least two laps around the house, inside and out, looking for the electric panel to no avail. My client shouted out, "here it is, in the bathroom linen closet, right next to the shower."

Electric panels should not be located in a bathroom (wet location) and need working space clearance for accessibility.
