And all it takes is one experience of this sort,  and what does one do?  Why, 
use an extension cord,  of course,  so that you don't have the two appliances 
on the same circuit.

I'd like to see a place wired with adjacent outlets on different circuits.
Better yet,  I'd like to see a diagram of the place with what stuff was 
affected by what breaker.  It wouldn't be all that hard to make one these 
days...
Hmm.
