If you built a circuit with a big inductor and a big capacitor in series,
such that the resonant frequency was 50Hz, then connected it to the mains,
would you get current flowing 180 degrees out of phase with the voltage, and
run the meter backwards?

No, but you may experience some expensive fireworks. Worst (or best?) case
you may earn a Darwin award.
