I popped the breaker when I accidentally connected my gaming computer and my car charger (plug-in hybrid) to the same circuit.

Probably would've been fine if it were a 20A circuit and not a 15A, but it did remind me how much power these things draw...

Or with power in SF averaging 40-ish cents per kWh a standard evening gaming session can easily cost a non-negligible amount of money.
