The power here just went out for a minute and I was thinking how sh!tty it would be to be using the bathroom, taking a shower, etc. when the power went out.

I've had the power go out while I was showering before. It's not bad, I usually have my eyes closed while I'm in the shower anyways.

Unless you're aim poorly in the dark, whats the problem w/ using the bathroom or taking a shower?

I had the power go out several times throughout the night, the day before I had a large project due.

We had lightning hit the powerline behind my house, which started it on fire. The FD came and watched it.

When I was young I somehow managed to get a penny into an outlet which shocked me and tripped the breaker. I have no idea how I made contact with a penny, or why the breaker tripped. This was when we had lots of family visiting.

I must be tired, I read the title as "Ever had the power to go out at a very bad time?" So I clicked on this link expecting a very weird discussion on the ability of some people to pick a really bad time for dates. Oh well...

You = t3h n00b. I use sound. If i hear a splashing sound, that means its hitting the spot. If i hear a "something hitting ceramic" sound, that means I'm close to hitting the spot. And if i hear a splattering sound, thats a miss.
