!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Found the issue with circuit breaker and GFCI outlet popping.
In a cabinet below the sink, lurks an electrical water heater - not big. call it 5 gallons or so, but it was there. Plugged into an outlet... on same circuit as the coffee machine....all quiet... so quiet everyone forgot it was there.
Super and Electrician came by and put a 20 amp outlet on a nearby circuit. Now the water heater is on its own and coffee machine is also separated.
I don’t know what electric water heater uses, but coffee machine was using 15 amps when it was the hungriest. Surely, 20 amp was not enough for the two of them.
Another mystery solved. If it wasn’t for those meddling kids...

We blew a fuse in an Airbnb by RECKLESSLY using the toaster while the dishwasher was running. =)
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

I spent the tail end of last week trying to fig ue out why the breaker one of the ac units is on kept popping. Process of elimination, unplugging one thing after the other until there was nothing left on the circuit but the ac itself made me say hmm. Definitely the ac.
Pulled it and found it a bit dusty, cleaned it up, fired it back into the window and everything is cool again. Thank Zeus.

The master bedroom’s bathroom in my house has an electric heater next to the extractor fan, nice for when taking a shower on cold days, as well as a ceiling fan, a row of about eight incandescent light bulbs on the vanity light, two closets with lights, and a GFCI outlet next to the sink to which the hair dryer gets plugged in. They’re all on one circuit, which we found the hard way when my wife complained that all of the lights in the bathroom turned off as she was trying to dry her hair one cold morning.
Our previous house was worse, though. There we couldn’t use both a space heater in the living room and the
microwave oven in the kitchen. For Dog knows what reason, a previous owner tapped the circuit going to the living room outlets to power
the outlet for
the above-range microwave. I'm pretty sure that was a code violation.

Did you check under the dishwasher to see if there was some legal mambo jumbo sticker about not operating the unit with a powered on toaster?
Those stickers usually say something important like do not use to wash doggo or carburetor

if you squint just the right way, code violation turns to Code... and violation part gets blurry and irrelevant.
I have seen some creative wiring in my day. I refuse to follow suit. I do my wiring while taking a bath so I can be fully relaxed
