Offtopic, but this reminds me of a plausible tech support gore story.

An office was experiencing random Internet outages and they were struggling to figure out why. They traced it back to their router rebooting randomly. Tracing it back further, they found the outlet was experiencing big voltage drops. They then realized it was on the same circuit as a pump used to flush a porta potty for a construction team onsite. Everytime they'd flush the toilet, the router would lose power and reboot.
