Picking pole beans off your corn is two of the "three sisters".
You think you have it tough? I have one bean plant that grew up a tomato plant and then swung over to a branch on my mulberry tree.
And, it was supposed to be a bush bean!
Nothing prepares you for bush plants turning into pole plants, except for having a few extra poles on hand.
