Default lights flicker when disposal is run

hope this might be some top-10 FAQ item

when the garbage disposal is run in my kitchen, it flickers the
lights on the other side of the house, in a bathroom (just a single
60w bulb)
the disposal circuit (15amp) is not the same circuit as the bathroom
(15amp) so what might be happening here? the bulb does not burn out
or wear out any faster (usually lasts for couple years of continuous
use)


First I would double check that same circuit issue.

Next I would suggest there may be a shared neutral with a bad
connection. Make sure all the neutral in the box are tight as a start.
