Lol I live in an old house where the electrics are messed up like that. We got a new water heater last year that uses significantly more power than our old one. So if we used the coffee machine (on the opposite side of that floor of the house), we had to unplug the panel heater in the hallway!
We had an electrician install a new breaker for the water heater and that fixed the problem lol
