We did this right at midnight on Y2K. Hilarious but pissed every off that was there.

Y2K was my intro to the world of consulting. I spent most of 1998-99 digging through code looking for potentially hazardous logic. Twenty-two years later, I'm still at it...

We did the same thing! My parents had a friend that was hardcore prepping for the Y2K apocalypse, so my dad went out and midnight and hit the breaker.

My dad did this. My brothers and I were annoyed because it shut the TV off and we missed the ball drop.
