⚡ If Electrical Problems Were Dating Profiles
Because sometimes it’s not you — it’s your house.
From commitment issues to constant sparks, electrical problems have a lot in common with bad dates. So if your lights are flickering or your panel keeps ghosting you, it might be time to break up… and call Gaddie Electric instead.
Here’s what some of the most common electrical issues would look like if they had a dating profile.
❤️ 1. Breaker Bob, 39
Bio
Can’t commit. Flips out under pressure.
Hobbies
Taking long naps in the middle of your favorite show.
Looking for
Someone who knows how to reset me — but also knows when to call an electrician.
Translation: You’ve got a tripped breaker. It may be overloaded or there’s something more serious going on.

❤️ 2. Flickering Fiona, 28
Bio
I’m bright, until I’m not. Mood lighting is my thing.
Hobbies
Making every dinner feel like a haunted house.
Looking for
A stable connection. Please.
Translation: Flickering lights can mean loose wiring, voltage fluctuations, or an aging panel. Not romantic.
❤️ 3. Zappy Zack, 31
Bio
Gives you a little spark every time we touch.
Hobbies
Static surprises and minor heart attacks.
Looking for
Someone who can handle my energy (but really needs a GFCI).
Translation: Outlets that shock you = danger. It’s often a grounding issue or lack of GFCI protection.
❤️ 4. Buzzing Bella, 42
Bio
I hum when I’m happy… and also when I’m overheating.
Hobbies
Keeping you up at night.
Looking for
Someone who won’t ignore the warning signs.
Translation: If you hear buzzing at switches or your panel, don’t wait — it could mean a loose connection or a fire risk.
❤️ 5. Outdated Oscar, 58
Bio
Built in the ’70s. Knows how to party like it’s 1979.
Hobbies
Running everything through one overloaded circuit.
Looking for
Someone who appreciates my vintage charm but wants a safer future.
Translation: Homes with old panels (Zinsco, FPE, etc.) may need an upgrade for safety and insurance.
❤️ 6. DIY Debbie, ???
Bio
I watched a YouTube video once. It’s basically the same as being licensed.
Hobbies
Creative wiring, electrical tape “solutions,” and shocking reveals.
Looking for
A second opinion I’ll ignore anyway.
Translation: DIY electrical work might look okay — until it causes a fire or fails inspection.
❤️ 7. Overloaded Oliver, 33
Bio
Loves extension cords. Lives in a tangle.
Hobbies
Powering the microwave, toaster, blender, and space heater — all at once.
Looking for
A dedicated circuit… and maybe a little balance.
Translation: If your circuits can’t keep up with modern demand, you need more outlets or a service upgrade.
