I've lived in heavily wooded areas with poorly maintained (or impossible to maintain) infrastructure, and... Losing power once a week was grating after a while. Didn't get used to it.
Perhaps what made it so annoying was the lack of communication on ETA. It was anyone's guess if it came back within 15min, 3 hours or 24 hrs. And even when an ETA was given, it was wrong most of the time.
Makes it hard to plan around it when it's so random. Do I go buy food ? Go to resto? Do I tell my boss in taking the whole day off? When the lights come back, do I have time to start a meal prep or laundry or get caught again midway and lose everything? Oh yeah because sometimes it was a chain of power outages like that.
Tldr: 0/10 would be mad every time unless it was a scheduled thing.
