Because fucking with the electrical system in someone else’s house is usually frowned on.

Did you consider the insulin fridge in the garage you just shut off when you did that? How about the attic fan that keeps the place cool? The water softener that needed to do a recharge cycle. The electric vehicle plugged in that was waiting for night time trough to charge. etc, etc

No, you’re just inconsiderate of people’s property.

I did read it. It doesn’t change how inappropriate it is to mess with the breaker boxes in other people’s property. The appropriate response was to contact the host.

> you come out as completely ignorant of context

Says the commenter who didn’t follow the context.
