Anyone Else Enjoy Power Outages?

No, because storms scare me, and i cant sleep in total darkness. :icon_redf

 

I'm all right with it. It's fun every once in a while, but it really depends, especially on the weather. Like right now, if the power went I'd be PISSED. I'd be so cold. My house freezes to the point where I could see my breath in my own bedroom if we don't turn on the heater.

 

YESSSSSS! I love power outages so much. That was like the only time my brothers would do anything with me. We used play board games and stuff and we had to use a candle for light. My dad built a stupid generator though, so now we never have power outages

Edit: I forgot about nighttime. I hate the dark, so it's better when the power comes on before bed.

 

Depends; if it's during the day, it can be refreshing to unplug from technology for a bit.

If it's at night (when I use a fan to sleep) or on football matchdays? Then it becomes a hindrance to my everyday life. If I can't sleep or I miss a match, I turn into 160 pounds of angry half-German bastard and it's not pretty.

 

I used to until we got a bad ice storm in 09. We were out of power for 2 weeks. Some were out for almost a month. Thankfully we were able to make it to my Dad's who had a fireplace. I remember the ice cracking and the transformers exploding over night.

now whenever we have a power outage I think of that. *shivers*

 

I hate not having an internet connection but...

It's so darn fun to sneak up behind everyone and scare them in the pitch black dark. :badgrin:

 

I like the darkness. It is peaceful. There always seem to be so many bright lights everywhere, and it gives me anxiety. I love it when they go away.

 

I don't mind them. During the day, id lounge and read. At night, I would have to have a candle burning in my room, considering I still sleep with a night light.

 

They're okay as long as i get hot water and heat. It shouldn't last for very long...right?

 

The last time I experienced a power outage was about 13 years ago.. it was dark outside and I was in my bedroom, so for everything to just suddenly go pitch black was a little freaky to a 7 year old..

 

Having worked in the utility business fielding power outage calls from miserable people, all I can say is.....where were you? This is another reason why I love LGBT people.

 

Enjoy? More like I am used to it :lol: Here, it's like happening once or twice a month I dont like it happening at day because it's freaking hot. Power outage during night is the best! It happened to us recently and you know what I did? I laid down on top of out car and watch the stars while listening to Blur songs. It's peaceful

 

Ah no. Two years ago, we had an ice storm a week and a half before Christmas which knocked out power for a good portion of the state. Not only were we living on a generator for a week (which burned about $40 in gas a day) but it also knocked out our well, so that meant driving up to my mom's office to use a bathroom.

Last summer we got to sit in a sweltering house with no air conditioning for five hours because some idiot got the genius idea to throw a baseball at a power grid and knocked out power to my entire hometown and parts of the next city over.

 

I absolutely love them, peace and quiet!

 

I don't really see an advantage to them. If I wanted a power cut, I'd just turn all the lights and heating off and switch off electronics, then sit freezing in the dark. Great fun!

 

Not really, I'm too much of a worried for that~ But I do love turning off all the lights and listening to thunderstorms <3 I miss thunderstorms because we never have them here T.T They're so calming <3

 

The initial loss of power usually irks me, then I realize it's a good excuse to play 3DS lol.

 

I think power outages can be really fun. Especially during the day.
